"This wine blew me away, I can honestly say this is my new favorite New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The outrageous complexity of grapefruit and kiwi mixed with the acidity of a $50 Riesling makes this the winner it is!!"

Explosive grapefruit with the perfect balance of crisp acidity. I really couldn't find much wrong with this wine. Although the color could have been better...but seriously, does that matter much?

tasted like biting into a whole lemon. That feeling in the back of the throught?!?!? Anyway. A must buy.

It has all the grapefruit flavors that have become the hallmark of NZ SBs. I was first blown away by Grove Mill and now I never see it on the market. It was replaced by Kim Crawford. I drank the Mahi last night because I could not find a Kim Crawford. It seems that the import/ wholesale chain on NZ wines is really an up and down thing at the moment. One thing that I did notice about the Mahi that keeps my score a bit low is that it goes away in the glass rather fast. There was no nose left after 20 minutes in the glass. I have seen this same thing with a lot of Oz blends of Chard and Semillon.

Well balanced and really nice acidity. Packing the grapefruit and citrus big time. Nice long finish. Pushing up on the pricepoint for me on a NZ Sauv Blanc but worth the little extra and glad I bought a case.

I actually got this wine by mistake (Wine Library shipped me the wrong wine). I ended up keeping it, and have to say... I loved it. Not too much more to add here about the flavor profile, but I'll say that I paired it with some fish tacos I made, and it rocked it. Well done.

Very nice wine. I took it to a party and all enjoyed. Clean and crisp with nice citrus flavors.

A simple oaky Sauvignon Blanc, flavourful with grass and citrus fruits on the nose. Decent finish. Just above average quality wine (SN 11/07)
