Review From Tastings.com: "Silvery emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of gooseberry, tomato vine and bell pepper, tropical fruits, and tomato with a full body and a long finish with accents of green tomato, basil pesto, gooseberry, and pickled peppers. A+ for typicity; unmistakably Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc." (Found on 3/14/2024)
Wine Folly: pg. 165 on Sauvignon Blanc in general. Very dry and extremely acidic as described. I got citrus notes, but not exactly grapefruit as the book describes. My wine was chilled but I don't know if it was the exact temperature recommended. Also pg. 166 describing New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, got a bit of the passionfruit and pear described.
My Review: I thought this wine was just okay, not anything super special. It was a very cheap wine, and so I didn't expect very much out of it. However I don't really agree with the review from Tastings.com, I didn't really taste any of the savory flavors they listed like pepper and tomato. I enjoyed how dry the wine was and found it very light on the palate, even with the high acidity level. I found it refreshing and juicy with the fruity notes in it.
