This was an unbelievable wine that we had at a dinner with friends.  I don't know why I loved it soooo much but the fruit was incredible and it was sooo easy to drink. Immediately I bought a case.

It's sooooo over the top, but I still love it.  The wine has beautiful fruit that covers your entire palate with melons, grapefruit, starfruit, lemon, and even some hints of pineapple.  This will turn a lot of people away for being to over the top on the fruit and coming across as sweet - but I love it!

Archetypical New Zealand sauvignon with aromas of grapefruit, grass and a slight whiff of cat urine. Decent acidity profile and nice long finish elevate this wine beyond the ordinary NZ sauvignon blanc and make it a good candidate for an everyday house wine.

Well Kim Crawford explodes with light fruits and it coats the palate with flavor, but is it a little too over the top? Just a tad. :)  Look - you either love or hate this wine.  I really enjoy it, but I've gotten bored with it.  Too immature to buy more than a bottle or two.  Switch to Mahi's Sav Blanc - and there you can get your moneys worth from a more sophisticated wine. 

86 Points.

Over-hyped
Score: 85 points
Drink by: Now to 2 years
Sampled 6/7/07. Very light color, closest to water I`ve seen in a while. Sugary apricot and green apples on nose that also show up on the palate with underripe lemons. A very weak mid palate and too much/unbalanced acid. Sure it`s relatively cheap, but still overpriced for what it is.
