92 points Wine Spectator: "[$23 list] A vibrant mix of pineapple, mango and citrus flavors on a smooth, medium body, with plenty of vibrant acidity. Appealing details of orange zest and green apple skin add complexity. Drink now. (3/31/19)"
92 points James Suckling: "This youthful sauvignon has attractive lime-leaf and fresh-herb aromas with passion fruit and a succulent, fine and fresh lime finish. Immediate enjoyment here. Drink now. Screw cap. (10/8/18)"
91 points Decanter: "The warmest vintage on record in Marlborough, 2018 also saw plenty of rain, including three inches during harvest. This Sauvignon is perhaps the most 'typical' wine in the range, using mostly cultured yeasts and stainless steel for a fresh, zesty Sauvignon with lime and nettle scents. The subtly textured palate is crisp and full of guava, blackcurrant leaf and a touch of passion fruit. There's a nice stony quality on the finish, with good length. Drinking Window: 2019-2026. (1/17/19)"
91 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc shows restrained aromas of fig and melon on the nose, followed by ripe notes of nectarine on the palate. It's medium to full-bodied and richly textured, with a long, silky finish. It may age a bit better than some other classic Marlborough Sauvignons, but don't hold it beyond about 2021. Drink: 2019-2021. (Mar 2019)"
