Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Kevin rated this wine as 95/100 with the following review:

If you love the lime zing fresh acidity of the Kiwi Sav Blanc, you'll adore this as it has it by the bucketload. Dangerously delicious and mouthwateringly juicy, this is a ridiculous moreish wine that should be opened at a BBQ with care as it disappears far too quickly. Full bodies, crisp and delicious.
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Passion fruit, gooseberry, and fresh cut grass on the nose, with green papaya and pineapple gushing on the palate. There's an intense minerality to this wine, almost Sancerre-like. I'm 89 on this wine. (ottawawinejournal.com)
