A lean, herbal Sauvignon Blanc, with gently pungent aromas and flavors that verge on being vegetal, but finish with plenty of verve and crisp acids.——J.C.(5/1/2008)—— 86

A brand-new wine from importer George Galey, this debut Sauvignon blends fruit from the Awatere and Wairau valleys under the watchful eye of Vavasour winemaker Glenn Thomas to make a mouthfilling wine loaded with gooseberry and pink grapefruit flavors. Drier than many NZ Sauvignons, it picks up intriguing hints of tangerine, musk and spice on the finish. ——J.C.(9/1/2006)—— 88
