Not dry at all. Tart, sweet, zippy. Still crisp and probably great for those who like a good white zin or reisling. Probably will finish my glass and move onto another.

Perfectly reasonable sauv blanc with green acidity. A touch too sweet and straight forward for my tastes, but good for the back porch on a hot day

Great go to Summer wine. Refreshing with notes of citrus (grapefruit) and crisp apples, and pears.

Price $12.

Lemon in color with a green hue.

Strong nose of gooseberries, citrus, lemons, grapefruits, tropical fruits, coconut, bananas, alcohol, green apples, vegetables, bitter herbs and white pepper.

Medium in body with high acidity, nice legs, crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with lemons, limes, grapefruits, green apples, grass, green vegetables, citrus, herbs and white pepper.

Nice length on the finish with limes and spices.

This Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is crisp and refreshing.
Simple and enjoyable with a bitter ending. Not completely balanced, but still nice.

Good by itself or with food. I had it by the pool all by itself.

12.5% alcohol by volume.
