Pale straw in color, the nose is intensely aromatic with grapefruit, white peach, melons, lemon peal and an intriguing pepperoncini note. On the palate this wine is lively as you would expect from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but provides excellent balance with its ripe flavors of citrus fruits and minerality. Medium bodied with medium plus length.
"Pale yellow. Pure, scented nose offers citrus peel, tarragon, pepper and subtle saline minerality. Rich, tactile and full but without any impression of weight. The citrus, mineral and spice flavors offer terrific intensity and life in the mouth. A complex, serious wine with outstanding depth. The very long finish hints at passion fruit and guava." ~92 pts International Wine Cellar~
