I bought this because I like the Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc from the same Marlborough region, and Monkey Bay is bottled by Nobilo, so I thought it might be similar. It's OK, not even really good. When you can get the Nobilo Sauv Blanc at about the same price why go for Monkey Bay instead, except for maybe the cool monkey name?

Edit - I just tried it again after letting it air out a lot and it was better. Still not even good, but I am changing from 1 glass to 1.5 glasses since I wouldn't avoid it anymore.

Only slightly sweet, very fruity, but dry and with good mouth feel for a white wine. Very good value for the price.
