SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

92 PTS

Pretty sensational Sauvignon Blanc. Can't think of any SB I've had with the exception of the Merry Edwards that is so vibrant and dynamic. Has a Sauternes-esque aspect to the wine and sets itself apart from the traditional New Zealand SB. Beer bottle crown cap closure in a clear bottle makes for a sleek, casual look, but there's serious juice inside.
