It's always nice to sprinkle in these New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, especially as the weather heats up for summer.
This is a new one for us at Costco, and is a great find. The wine is delicious, and the price is the best we've seen at $15.99. Retail appears to be $25 and the bottle sells online from $18-22.
This one is a lot of what you expect with a wine from this region, but a slight step up from the usual bottles you'll find. (Allan Scott was another good recent one)
The wine pours a pale straw in the glass, aromas of passionfruit; medium bodied; grassy and acidic as these tend to go, but balanced nicely; flavors of white peach, grapefruit, lime and pineapple; great crisp, tarty finish with lingering minerality.
Marlborough fans will find a lot to like with this bottle, and even though it's a little higher in price than others from this region, this one is a clear step up. Hitting our Top Picks list too.

I read your review of this wine and found it at my local Costco in Waterbury CT. The price was $21.99, a far cry from your review price of $15.99. The $21.99 price is right in line with other on line retailers and local stores. No great deal here.
