Aromas of ripe capsicum, gooseberry, and grapefruit dominate with tropical fruit notes apparent. This wine, considered the benchmark of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, is from fruit harvested across the Marlborough region with its world famous reputation for the variety. This wine displays full fruit intensity. The ripe capsicum flavors meld
well with gooseberry and supporting mango and passionfruit flavors. A well-balanced wine showing the lively, crisp acidity associated with this style.

Wine Spectator Bright, with very good intensity to grass, lime, lemon blossom and grapefruit tones. Pronounced mineral and stone flavors extend through the concentrated finish. Drink now. Score: 87. —Daniel Sogg, February 29, 2008.

Wine Enthusiast Light and fresh, with modest grapefruit flavors matched by herbal notes and some flowery aromatics. Probably best as an apéritif. Score: 86. —Joe Czerwinski, December 31, 2007.
