More textural and more complex than most Marlborough sauvignon thanks, at least in part, to a barrel-aged component with extended lees contact. The wine retains its punchy lemongrass, capsicum and guava varietal character. A stylish sauvignon. Drink date: 2022-2025. Score – 93. (Bob Campbell, MW, therealreview.com, Jan. 1, 2022)
