Nikau Point Marlborough 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, $6.99 (Trader Joe's), 86 points, was a light brass color with palladium highlights and a graying penumbra.
Aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit, and lemongrass were robust and pleasant.
Nikau Point gave us a light-bodied, not quite dry white wine with an upfront explosion of acid-driven flavor reflective of the aromas but declined midterm; still it finished okay with a hint of lemon oil, ginger, and a well-balanced 12% alcohol.
Paired fine with my Atlantic lobster roll.
Once again, Trader Joe's delivers a Q/P/R wine.
