	2012 Tohu Sauvignon Blanc Very pleasing, crisp fruit aromas and a definite touch of green as well although we don't detect much herbaceousness on the palate. As our Hawaiian friends say, Lilikoi is dominant - that's passionfruit for the mainlanders - with great acidity and a long, crisp finish. Loved a pairing with fish tacos on corn tortillas with tilapia, a spoonful of mashed avocado, and cabbage sprinkled with lime juice. "This fresh and focused Sauvignon has bright aromas of citrus, apples and passionfruit with a distinct fresh cut grass herbaceous line running through it. On the palate the fresh fruit shines through with more green apples, lemongrass and passionfruit given focus by some fresh natural acidity, a touch of sweetness but finishing with a dry minerality."

	2012 Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc Juicy stone fruit and pear with a zippy, herbal finish. As with so many Sauvignon Blancs, really refreshing.

	2012 Kato Sauvignon Blanc We taste white grapefruit, slight herbal notes, and lots of nice gooseberry. Quite a steal. "Kato Sauvignon Blanc shows lifted tropical notes of guava balanced by blackcurrant bud and stonefruit characters. The palate is full with suffi cient weight and the underlying fl inty minerality typical of the Seaview Vineyard with a long, dry and crisp finish."

	2012 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc If grassy Sauvignon Blancs are for you, try this while you are cooking, with appetizers, salads, white fish dinners, or with your dessert cheese. "Fresh, intensely concentrated aromas of tropical fruits infused with ripe citrus notes, complemented by lifted hints of lemongrass and passionfruit. Excellent texture, with fine acidity, a degree of minerality and a lasting, refreshingly crisp finish. Pair with white meats, pale cheeses and seafood - especially scallops and oysters."

	2011 Seresin "MOMO" Sauvignon Blanc New Vintage! '10 91 ST Refreshing, crisp, and dry. More tropical fruits on the nose than on the palate. Taste wise, we get citrus and gooseberry. "Aromas of tropical fruit and citrus with a hint of minerality. The palate is textural and rich with ripe tropical fruit and grapefruit. The finish is crisp and dry. Delicious with all types of seafood and summer salads, or just by itself as a refreshing aperitif." Learn More ...	$15.99 Quantity: 24+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days
	2011 Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc Always a favorite, we get more rounded flavors of stone fruit and gooseberry. No lack of zip and a really nice minerally finish. Great with fish, shellfish, goat cheese, roasted chicken, and lighter, spicy foods. "25 years' experience have resulted in the Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc 2011 displaying multilayered characters of lime zest, passionfruit skin, fresh coriander and wet stones. A mouthwatering yet smoothly integrated palate reveals notes of grapefruit, Tahitian lime and a strong textural component." Learn More ...	$17.99 Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Temporarily out.

	2011 Mud House Sauvignon Blanc Slightly herbal, more stone fruit than citrus, nicely acidic, and extremely satisfying. "Lifted passionfruit, honeysuckle and nettle aromas.

	2011 Mahi Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 90 WA Hints of grass on the nose, gooseberry and orange citrus on the palate. Really clean and refreshing. Great with cheeses, salads, and lighter dishes. "This wine shows an array of fruit characters, ranging from citrus through to tropical notes. This is complemented by some secondary characters from the natural yeast ferments and also some barrel aging. The palate has an elegant structure with a creamy, textural mid-palate and a long finish." Learn More ...	$15.99 Quantity: 6 bottles available for same day shipping. 24+ bottles available.

	2011 Lawson's Dry Hills Sauvignon Blanc We are quite possibly influenced by a wonderful winery visit, but nonetheless, this Sauvignon Blanc is a favorite every year as the penetrating flavors seem to dance happily in the mouth. There is something for everyone: light passionfruit, stone fruit, gooseberry, bracing acidity, and a long finish. "Lifted passionfruit, lime zest, stonefruit and floral aromatic notes produce a fresh, complex nose displaying wonderful varietal character. These are also found on the palate along with crisp acidity, chalky minerality and great length. Barrel fermentation has provided subtle mealy characters and added weight."

	2011 Isabel Sauvignon Blanc Somewhat unique amongst this vintage because of the more overt passionfruit and stonefruit flavors, and still loads of gooseberry and that wonderful Kiwi acidity. Pairs really nicely with spicier foods; in fact, try with muddled anchovies and red pepper flakes, sauteed together with broccoli and mixed with pasta. "An elegant Sauvignon Blanc, this vibrant wine is bursting with flavours including ripe gooseberry, passion fruit, fresh citrus lime and has an exotic herbaceous aroma, subtle intensity of herbaceous and fresh grass as well as exotic fruit like star fruit. The weighty palate and exquisitely soft texture is rounded out with other layers too, along with very fresh balanced acidity. Beautiful complexity of the wine has an exciting palate with layers of juicy flavours, intensity and fullness, finishing with a refreshing crisp, clean and racy acidity."
