Our review and rating: Straw in color, this wine has distinctive aromas of gooseberry, green apple, grass, and just a hint of asparagus. There is a nice balance of fruit flavors (notably peaches), minerals, and acidity on the palate. The undistinguished finish is quite flat and not memorable. Our score: A nice wine to serve with roast chicken and vegetables. Just Average, maybe a touch higher.
Taste profile from the winemaker: "Peaches on the nose with pink grapefruit, lime and gooseberry on the palate. This wine is a perfect cross between a Sancerre and a ripe Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Good crisp acidity with mineral and stone fruit to balance. Blends nicely with shellfish, especially oysters, pasta salads, grilled shrimp or seared scallops."
