Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style. "Soft and juicy, with mouthwatering balance to the pear and grapefruit flavors, hinting at pineapple as the finish goes on. Drink now." May 2010

Winery  "This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc shows a mixture of citrus, capsicum and ripe tropical fruit aromas. These aromas carry onto the palate which is crisp, multi layered and has a long lingering finish – a very well balanced wine."

Wired For Wine:  In the mood for a staggeringly refreshing, crisp New Zealand white?  Look no further because the Hunter's Sauvignon Blanc by Jane Hunter is just the ticket.  Get things off and running with that first bottle when you bring out the crostini with sea scallops and leek fondue.  This Hunter's is made for all things from the sea...  When thinking about the next step, be comforted by the many terrific options.  Chicken, fish, shellfish and grilled pork will delight, as will most herbs and many vegetables.  For special occasions, we love the citrus and wonderful balance of this Sauvignon Blanc with fresh oysters in champagne.  What are we celebrating??  A first course of frisee salad with grilled pears tossed with a mustardy classic vinaigrette will only serve to revv everybody's appetites.  The many juicy layers of this New Zealand treasure will go hand in hand with pasta a la Louisiana and its delicious combination of shrimp, crab and a rainbow of bell peppers.  Not craving seafood?  Not to worry; chicken legs stuffed with prosciutto, lemon zest and basil bread crumbs are another dreamy option for this soft white.  After a short break, open just one more bottle and get lost in a French Fleur de Maquis cheese.  Pressed into its outer edge are rosemary, fennel seeds and juniper berries, which result in the most addictively irresistable herbal nuances.  Oh alright; let's open another bottle!!
