The Loop, Marlborough 2017 Sauvignon Blanc (New Zealand, $4.76-$14.99, 87 points, was a very pale yellow/gold color grading gray to clear toward the rim.
Bright aromas of grapefruit, gooseberry, and fresh-cut grass were excellent.
Light-bodied with exuberant acids and rich balanced flavors reflective of the aromas pleased me.The rather short finish did add a bit of cantaloupe along with the fading palate and the well-integrated 12.5% alcohol.
Paired fair with my chicken salad.
Smokey, our rescue cat, wants to get in on the photographic fun; he's always welcome to join the party.

With your blue-cat around, I'm surprised you didn't get any 'civet' in this Kiwi SB :)
