• 2004 Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc Icon - New Zealand, South Island, Marlborough (2/25/2005)
  Purchased for $12 at Sam's. Fresh and juicy tropical fruit flavors, with some lime zest on the finish. Smooth and mouth-filling. Not as zingy as I was expecting. I like my NZ sauvies a little more bracing. Nonetheless, a nice starter wine to an evening and a decent value. (88 pts.)

I've stopped dead on this because I had one decent vintage and the rest have been over-priced. Take into account I paid the same £s as you did $s.

For $12 I might buy this. But it is usually a bit higher around these parts --I think $15 or so. At that point, I think I can find better NZ SBs.

  Not too shabby. JUicy, limey, maybe some kiwi, too and a bit of sour apple. I liked it. (88 pts.)

I think I paid $14.
