TOHU Marlborough, New Zealand 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, $14.99-$16.99, 91 points, was the lightest of yellow-gold colors, but water clear toward the glass shallows.
Aromatic fresh-cut grass, sweet hay, lime, ripe pear, and floral citrus zest were outstanding.
Light-bodied white wine, crisp, spicy, desirably tart, dry, acidic, and bestowed a straight forward unabashed grassy flavor.
Finished long and warm on a 13% alcohol-inspirited ginger and green melon rind.
Paired perfectly with my Gulf of Maine lobster in drawn butter, as well as salt and vinegar marinated chicken wings.
It's been eight years since I tasted the last TOHU SB, but this one was outstanding from stem to stern.

Sounds lovely...looking for new SBs seeing as I won't drink SB from you-know-who!
