Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This Sauvignon ticks all the boxes for an herbal New Zealand style Sauvignon Blanc. The nose shows typical grassy notes with some undertones of tropical fruit. The palate is savoury and smooth with tangy grapefruit and grassiness. Nice tension keeps it lively and interesting. Excellent value. Serve with marinated, herbed goat cheese. Tasted October 2019 www.thewineloverskitchen.com
Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A great quality Sauvignon for a good price. Lovely ripe style with tropical fruit, melon, pineapple and grapefruit. The palate is balanced with acidity that is present but not overt. The length is persistent. A more serious style than most. Try it with a three cheese soufflé. @wrightwineblog
Russian Jack 2018 is a bright New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough with a wide range of tropical fruit, honeydew melon and stone fruit flavours on the palate. Dry and fruity with vibrant acidity on the palate. So good now. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

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.
