85
Tasted by:
(at Decanter's August 2017 New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Panel Tasting, 20 Apr 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2020
A rich, fleshy, oak-aged Sauvignon with the strong oak influence adding weight and dominating the fruit character. Wildness playfully sits amongst ripe fruit with an edge of personality. Simple, but with loads of energy and well balanced.
