Sep 26th, 2019This is NZ SauvBlanc with the edge taken off of it. The grassy nose is only slight, showing more herbs than cat pee. The sip is remarkably restrained as well, with trademark citrus sharing the stage with melon, cucumber and peach. The wine is not very tart, by SB standards, but it’s not sweet, either. It’s a Sauvignon Blanc for people who normally shy away from it.
