bottle opened 24hrs still good flavor but 24hrs did not mellow out

A little more acidic than normal. Otherwise typical of a Nouveau. Fun wine for the holidays. Goes well with fall foods Visit my website: Nick's Weblog

We drank this with roasted leg of lamb on 12/21/08. It had strawberry, cherry and spice on both the nose and the palate. It was light and dry, with no tannin and a short finish. It wasn't bad, but there is much better wine available for the price.

Grape juice w/ alcohol

Melon and key lime pie nose with just a hint of grass. Very ripe and fuller body than expected in the mouth. A little to thick and fruit sweet for me. Lacks the complexity of a more austere, non-ML Sauv. Blanc.

Typical extremely light beaujolais nouveau - stood up barely to a meal (probably not good for anything other than mild cheese and grapes) but still an enjoyable quaff on a weeknight.

Blonde in color. Low rim variation. Fast legs. Strawberry, Grapefruit. Orange, Fig. Light/Medium bodied. Juicy texture. Medium finish. Visit my website: My Flickr Page

Extremely pale yellow in color, this inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc offered a nose of melon, grapefruit, and, dare I say, cucumber. Tastes reminiscent of lemon bar cookies (with powdered sugar), squash blossoms, and fresh mown grass made this wine a pleasing offering, if not necessarily typical of its varietal. A fine aperitif.

Let it breathe - smells terrible when you open the bottle, but it calms down and gets quite enjoyable. Visit my website: Complaint Hub

Beautiful NZ sav. The power of the fruit is wrapped in a lovely, mineral intensity.

Off-dry rather than the medium that is common for a NZ late harvest. Hints of honey and botrytis, but racy acidity is most notable at this stage. Flavours seem complex, apples through to apricots. Could be more of a long-term prospect, perhaps even great, but at this stage seems unbalanced towards the acid.
