winemaker's notes:

Icon Sauvignon Blanc is a complex, powerful wine, with excellent structure and palate weight. Displaying distinct Marlborough characters of pineapple, grapefruit and nettles, this wine has a smooth, viscous mouth feel with a refreshing balance of tangy acidity and natural grape sugars.

critical acclaim:

"A brilliant burst of lime, grapefruit and green apple rides easily on a racy, acidity-fueled texture, persisting into the long, vibrant finish with hints of wet stone and citrus peel. Drink now."

rating (9/28/2010):

The winemaker says this has flavors of "passion fruit, gooseberry and nettles. Having never tasted nettles, I can't disagree. But I also get wet saddle and compost in the bouquet and aftertaste. This wine is complex, but it is not pleasing!

rating (9/27/2010):

The wine has an intensely fruity nose with hints of lime and grapefruit with a wonderfully acidity feel on the palate. Worth the buy.
