Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale lemon. One the nose- apple, pear, peach, citrus, and a grassy/herbaceous note that I can’t put my finger on. Burst of grapefruit and pineapple with some minerality on the palate. Medium body. Nice, zesty acidity. Was a bit tight at first out of the bottle. Best to let it breathe a bit and losen up some. Fun and cheeky wine! — 4 months ago

Oyster Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Pale gold in color; lemon, yellow apples, and peaches on the nose; high acidity; tastes like lemon zest; honeysuckle, and pear with a long finish. Nellie and I like it. Rayne did not. — 19 days ago

Kirkland Signature

Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

충분히 칠링하고 맛보기 시작
패션프루츠 향이 지배적이고 파인애플 느낌도 난다
마셨을땐 레몬즙을 마시는것처럼 산도가 강하고 잘 익기전의 키위를 먹은 것 같다
눅눅한 풀향이나 비린내가 나지않음, 끝에 어울리지 않는 단맛이 나지 않음
가성비, 데일리로는 배신하지않는 와인인 듯 하다

It worked great with the Brazilian barbecue. Punches well above its weight. Good stuff. And the restaurant has a deal on south american wines on Mondays and Tuesdays. — a month ago

This is a purely subjective and personal observation, but I find wines over 15%, like most of the Turley Zins are, tiring to drink. Ridge keeps theirs under 15 and I find them more exciting and balanced.

@Tom Casagrande generally agreed. I actually think Mathiasson’s zins are also great - and some are under 13% and yet still not unripe
