Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Silver Medal - Marlborough Wine Show - September 2011 4 Stars **** - 87 / 100 - Bob Campbell - October 2011 "Soft, seductive wine with ripe fruit flavors that include passion fruit, lemon grass, red capsicum and even some tree fruits. A hint of sweetness balances crisp acidity. Classic Marlborough style offering value at this price". Sauvignon Blanc 2010 Wine Orbit Issue 15 - 87 Point / 4 Stars "A youthful-looking Sauvignon with fresh herb, grapefruit and subtle peach characters on the nose. The palate is lively and crisp with fine texture and bright acidity. A well flavoured Sauvignon with a lingering dry finish. At its best: now to 2013. Sam Kim February 2011"
87 / 100 Bob Campbell - November 2010 "Moderately concentrated wine with fresh red capsicum and lemon grass flavours. The wine has soft yet pleasantly pure and tangy acidity providing a welcome backbone and energy. Excellent value". Sauvignon Blanc 2009 Gold Medal - China Wine Challenge - July 2010 Silver Medal - Decanter World Wine Awards - May 2010 4 stars Cuisine Magazine NZ Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Issue 138, January 2010 “Those big capital letters on the label set the tone. This is a large, racy wine. Green bean, gooseberry and tropical fruit notes lead a balanced attack. Terrific with a goats cheese and walnut salad. “ John Saker Cuisine 91 Points Wine Orbit Issue 10 "A beautifully perfumed wine displaying passionfruit, white peach and subtle herbaceous characters on the nose. The palate is intensely flavoured showing excellent mid palate mouthfeel, nicely pitched acidity and a very long finish. It's lively, fresh and very delicious".
