Breaking our usual rule of thumb (well, actually, it's Ed's brother's rule of thumb) that the best sauvignon blancs from New Zealand are those that have "Bay" somewhere in the name, we tried this Staete Landt Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc on the recommendation of staff at the big Willow Heights main liquor store in Calgary. We got grapefruit and floral notes on the nose, and then grapefruit, grapefruit, grapefruit and more grapefruit on the palate. Very refreshing, but very, very citrusy.
