$10, 5 stars, 90 points, marlborough, new zealand, Sauvignon blanc
Very pale lemon, bordering on straw colored, with low viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of papaya, cut grass, lime, lemon pith, wax, white and orange blossom, and white peach. The palate is dry, with high acidity, and a light body. Medium (+) intensity flavors echo the nose, with that bracing acidity keeping it all in check. It goes down a treat and the finish lasts medium in length, albeit somewhat overshadowed by the cut. It’s a really tasty wine that exudes aromas and flavors typical for the varietal. I like it, and I especially like the price- $7, marked down from $10 at Costco, which would have been a bargain itself! I think this wine gets 90 points and 5 stars for its tremendous value for money. One to buy in bulk for the summer coming up. I’m pairing it with Ceviche, salut….
