Goldwater Sauvignon Blanc 2010 lovely Marlborough expression of the varietal
Tasting
Notes
4/28/11
This has a lovely nose with great lift, with a classic Marlborough delivery. Think of green apple, passion fruit and zesty grapefruit on the nose. The palate gushes with mouthwatering, juicy grapefruit, lemon-lime citrus tones along with green apple and spicy pear flavors. Fresh and vibrant this is what one wants and expects out of a Kiwi Sauvi out of Marlborough.

Pale yellow. Pure, scented nose offers citrus peel, tarragon, pepper and subtle saline minerality. Rich, tactile and full but without any impression of weight. The citrus, mineral and spice flavors offer terrific intensity and life in the mouth. A complex, serious wine with outstanding depth. The very long finish hints at passion fruit and guava. 89 pts Wine Spectator 3/31/11
Crisp, with green apple, Asian pear and lemon-lime flavors and an extremely refreshing acidity that gives way to tasty Key lime pie flavors on the finish. Drink now.
