Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

An aromatic and flavourful Sauvignon Blanc from the Awatere Valley region of Marlborough. Balanced, bright notes of pear, delicate minerals and gooseberry with a touch of fresh herbs.
Flavours are gorgeous, offering zesty citrus and crops apple with a mineral follow-through. Mouthwatering and refreshing. Well structured with a light body and finish. A great pairing for any kind of seafood and herbed chicken. - tasted June 2022

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This wine has all the bold and vibrant aromas of typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc, with a refined, and smooth palate. Aromas of gooseberry, lemon-lime, and golden pear with hints of fresh grass and green herbs. On the palate there is a nice balance between creamy texture, bright citrus notes, fresh herbal hints and mouthwatering acidity. Enjoy with butter basted halibut or a sping pea risotto.
