"The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc has soft gooseberry notes with wonderfully vibrant intensity, leading into a ripe and nicely textured mid-palate. Lime zest flavours play against the signature minerality of the Awatere Valley, with a pleasant, persistent finish."

"The 2012 Mohua Sauvignon Blanc exhibits lifted aromatics of lime and citrus zest, melon and lemongrass. The palate has pure intense flavours of passion fruit and white peach, ripe lemon and fresh herb."

"An enticing bouquet of citrus, passion-fruit, and guava. Its crisp finish is characteristic of Marlborough, New Zealand's premier winegrowing region, and makes this wine a perfect pairing for summer salads, roasted chicken, pan-fried prawns and seafood dishes."

"This wine has a deep plum tint. As I write this 2 months after bottling in February, this Pinot Noir is showing cocoa and morello cherry aromas layered over subtle hints of oak. The wild fermentation along with extended lees maturation in barrel have added complexity and texture to the bright fruit characters found of the palate. This is a supple wine with good weight and fine tannins. It will continue to drink well over the next three to five years."

"A medium ruby-purple color and expressive notes of black cherries, black raspberries and mulberries over allspice, cinnamon stick and milk chocolate. Full bodied with a medium level of finely grained tannins, it has a generous amount of berry and spice flavors in the mouth nicely offset by crisp acid. It finishes long with lingering baking spice and mulberry notes."

"Vividly juicy, with a core of grapefruit and green papaya, revealing nuances of peach, lime and herb. Aromatic and juicy on the finish."
