Tasting
Notes: More restrained than your typical
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, Hunter's offers fresh, direct fruit flavors
with only a hint of grass. Complex on the nose, with aromas of melon
and dust as well as fresh cut grass, its full body offers an intensity
of flavor and a grip of spice. Although it lacks that gutsy acid we
expect to see from Marlborough area wines, Hunter's has created a distinctly
NZ wine with American palate appeal. (Date tasted 01/28/01)
