93 Points for the Hidden Garden.
The Independent Weekly, June 16-22
Philip White - what is it with wine scribes with that surname? It's like a guarantee of good food, wine and spirited conversation.
"This is bigger, more thought-out sauvignon than your average Kiwi, and certainly a lot more chop than your average Adelaide Hillsby. Rather than simple grass and acid, it offers layers of complex tropical fruits, with cantalope, banana, custard apple, and jackfruit predominant. There's a cheeky top note of phosphate and burlap, and a neat turn of Chinese gooseberry acid in the finish, but it's really a grand, healthy, viscous beauty. All that plush yellow flesh!" 93 points.
