Our review: Light gold with green and silver highlights, this wine is lightly fragrant, with aromas of lime and citrus blossom and slight notes of lemongrass. The palate has a bit more body than one might expect, with rounded, well-balanced citrus flavors (grapefruit, lime) and just a hint of bell pepper and herbs. The finish is brief, adding little of note.
Our rating: This is a very nice example of this varietal from New Zealand, typical in many respects of what one has come to expect from the region, yet bringing its own style to the table. For example, it's a bit softer than others we've sampled, crisp but not bracing. We enjoyed our bottle with Thai cuisine, but think it very food-friendly, pairing nicely with most white-meat or seafood dishes. We rate it Above Average, nearly Excellent.

It's one of the rare crisp Sauvignons from the region.
One of my favorite Sauvignons since its flavor is crisp and mild.
