Multi gold medal winner. Grapefruit and lemon. Very atypical for Marlborough. Could pass for a nice but dull £4.99 Chilean. 5.5/10 for the wine...1/10 for the value. Do not buy. Baffled of Wales |

Baffled of Wales Damning reports for Saint Clair ! Goose, what therefore, am I to do with this wine ? Saint Clair Pioneer Block 6 "Oh! Block" Marlborough NZ Sauvignon Blanc 2008. I have 3 in stock, bought on recommendations made on this forum, and cross referenced to Bob Campbel's tasting notes. These are currently being saved for Spring 2010 drinking. Hmnnn , not impressed, they were expensive SB wines ! Do they go back to Majestic ? Or do I hang on to them. I'm not in the habit of buying duff bottles at £12 a go. It goes against the grain |

The Oh 6 is a better wine than the lightweight 18. I'd keep them. I have two as well. |

I think the Oh! Block 08 is a stunner, but I like the crisp acidicity and I won't be keeping mine but drinking and enjoying the freshness. |
