Sipping Fine Wine
Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with floral notes. On the palate flavors of grapefruit, green apple and pear fruit flavors with lemongrass and some grassy tones, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, herbal, floral, lemongrass and salty mineral notes. Lightly chill so you can experience all of the nuances while you sip this fine wine.

The pungent, plush 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna Road Vineyard (Martinborough) offers up layers of both grassy and elderflower flavors in combination with a tropical fruit salad. It's sweetly fruited and ripe, presenting a rich mouthful of Sauvignon-ness. A small portion of barrel-fermented fruit has rounded the edges, and the fragrant finish is fresh yet ripe. A little more length would be welcome; this may have something to do with the addition of younger vines from new plantings. Drink in youth for its fruity freshness.

Nice grapefruit flavor in this 2021 Craggy Range. Craggy Range remains a great value in Sauvignon Blanc.

Pear, dill, toffee. Fresh and as crisp as a New Zealand morning, nice minerality to boot
