Monique Sosa rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Grassy (wet morning dew grass), herbaceaous, peppery..... Where is the fruit you ask? You'll have to take my word for it and just accept lime zest for that category. This NZ Marlborough Sauv Bl is very typical of its terroir. However, with a bit more body and a crisp clean finish. The acidy is through the ceiling in this wine so becareful pairing. I paired this wine guacamole (made with added lime juice) and tortilla chips and found it quite pleasant.

Wine Nerd Tip: Acidity in a dish often decreases your perception of acidity in wine.
Heather Wall rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Herbal, grassy, catty, citrus, dill, gooseberry. Points for typicity. Light-bodied. Mouthwatering acidity. Good salad wine.
Tasted: March 2015
Jane Staples rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A crisp Marlborough, NZ Sauv Blanc with lime and gooseberry on the nose. The palate shows citrus lime, gooseberry, vegetal grassy notes and asparagus.. Dry with a long lime finish.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
