A classic sav Blanc. Tart Grapefruit and light grass immediate. Then a crisp tart finish.

Nice bottle of the usual suspects: tomato vine is most prominent, some wildflowers, freshly squeezed lime, and some green herby notes.

One of the earliest viticultural inhabitants of Marlborough, the Giesen Brothers offer a fantastic portfolio - including a Pinot Noir from the pedigreed Clayvin Vineyard. When it comes to value in New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, however, it's hard to beat Giesen's entry-level. Tart, clean, and mineral - it tastes of sea water-splashed bell peppers, mixed with cold grapefruit slices and cilantro.

Intense, aromatic nose with a soft, easygoing mouthfeel and a dry, mouthwatering finish. Solid Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Has a bite to it. High acidity. Tropical. Straw color. Complex. Powerful. Burns down throat. High alcohol. [Bottle says: 12.5% automatically expressive, generously flavored with fresh cut herbs, tropical fruit, subtle notes of black current leaf]

Lovely nose of guava, starfruit, lime, green bell pepper and hint of sea breeze. Palate is clean and crisp, and slightly saline. Very good for under $10.00.
