2011 Saint Clair Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Saint Clair Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
 
Lots of gooseberry and yet mellower and less overt citrus than many NZ Sauvignon Blancs. Very pleasant.

"A full, crisp and powerful wine showing intense flavours of passionfruit and blackcurrant, with underlying gooseberry tones. This wine has full yet elegant palate, subtle minerality and a well balanced long, lingering finish."

2012 Pulenta Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2012 Pulenta Estate Sauvignon Blanc
 
Eduardo and Hugo Pulenta's winemaker, Javier Lo Forte, has a very deft touch. His Sauvignon Blanc is light and yummy with soft stone fruit flavors, good minerality, and just enough acidity, avoiding that unattractive mouth pucker.

"Light straw colored and intensely aromatic, with white nectarine and white peach aromas followed by tropical pineapple-guava and hints of wet stone and fresh cut grass in the background. Full and nicely rounded by the lees contact, with a palate brimming with stone fruit, it is a perfect pairing to hors d'oeuvres, pizza, salads and seafood."

2011 Palliser Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Palliser Sauvignon Blanc
90 ST

Lime and some almost eye-popping (in a good way of course) herbal scent on the nose, rounded green melon and citrus on the palate, nice acidity, and a good finish. Great with spicier dishes as well as sharp cheeses.

"Bright colour, clear, straw yellow. My goodness, this is stunning. The nose is pungent and lifted displaying currant, lime zest and a touch of musky characters. It's succulent and rounded on the palate with refreshing acidity and a delicious finish. It's almost explosive on the palate with loads of mouth-pleasing flavors."

2011 Nautilus Sauvignon Blanc 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."

2011 Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc
 
Citrus and something earthy or leafy on the nose, really wonderful actually. The palate is bright, round, with a touch of melon, and a nice minerally finish.

"A bright lemon-green colour with a pronounced nose of citrus, lemon zest, green fig and black current leaves all held together by an intriguing floral note. A vivid palate with an engaging concentration of clementine peel, granadilla pulp, Cape Gooseberry and melon. Herbal undertones with a complex, chalky minerality compliments the mouthwatering finish."

Slightly herbal, more stone fruit than citrus, nicely acidic, and extremely satisfying.

2012 Mapema Sauvignon Blanc 2012 Mapema Sauvignon Blanc
 
This would be fun to taste alongside a Marlborough sauvignon blanc, both so refreshing and each so different. The Mapema is a bit fuller and less overtly citrusy. Like her Kiwi cousins, Mapema is fabulous with cheeses, pretty much anything with lots of herbs including salads, and even creamy sauces.

"This loveable white starts out with enticing aromas of fresh herbs, subtle red grapefruit, and a hint of blossom honey. Once you swirl it around your mouth, you'll get a blast of lemon zest acidity along with lemongrass and a slightly creamy texture. This wine delivers a lot of body without losing its lively acidity, and the crisp finish doesn't keep this wine from lingering on your palate. Great all by itself, but this one will match up nicely with grilled tuna and swordfish, seared scallops, mussels, sauteed white-flesh fish like sole, or even lighter chicken dishes."

2011 Mahi Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 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."

2011 Lawson's Dry Hills Sauvignon Blanc 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."

2012 Kato Sauvignon Blanc 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."
