New Zealand

Varieties/Regions:

New Zealand

New Zealand is best known for its unique style of Sauvignon Blanc. Mark Oldman wrote in his "Guide to Outsmarting Wine," "New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is like a child who inherits the best of both parents -- exotic aromas found in certain Sauvignon Blancs from the New World and the pungency and limy acidity of an Old World Sauvignon Blanc like Sancerre from the Loire Valley." New Zealand also produces quality Rieslings and Pinot Noirs. Last updated 10/08/09.

07 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Suavignon Blanc "Sourced from Martinborough, 28% whole bunch pressed and matured in 10% new oak with four months on lees, the 2007 Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc exhibits an attractive nose of cut grass and lime, then concentrated palate with grassy overtones leading to a citrus, off-dry finish." 89 points. — Wine Advocate	19.99	qty:
06 Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir, Marlborough "The 2006 Pinot Noir has a lovely nose with superb delineation: black cherries, talcum, plum and a touch of violets (far superior to the somewhat disappointing 2005). The palate is medium-bodied, very well-balanced with very good acidity. There is a natural quality to this wine, a personality that I find difficult to find in other Cloudy Bay releases. Crisp cherry, strawberry and a little iodine on the finish, nice and crisp, this is a great Pinot Noir that should drink over the next 3-5 years." 90 points. — Wine Advocate	39.99	qty:

08 Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough "With more than a quarter of a million cases of this wine coming to the U.S., Nobilo’s Regional Collection SB will turn up on a lot of tables over the summer—and justifiably so. It’s a very good rendition of Marlborough Sauvignon, offering grassy aromas and flavors backed by lime and grapefruit. It’s plump enough to have mass appeal, with a refreshingly crisp finish. Like almost all NZ Savvies, it should be consumed over the next 6–9 months." 87 points — Wine Enthusiast	11.99	qty:

05 Whitehaven Pinot Noir, Marlborough "This may not have the complexity of some of the country’s best Pinots, but this is still a fine example of what New Zealand can do with the variety. Clean black cherry fruit is accented by touches of vanilla and dried spices, while the mouthfeel is soft, with well-concealed tannins. The finish is finely textured, adding lingering notes of cinnamon and clove." 88 points. — Wine Enthusiast	27.99	qty:
07 Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc "Sourced from 15 parcels in the Wairau Valley and vinified separately before blending, their 2007 Sauvignon Blanc is everything you could wish for in terms of a commercial label: a fine grassy nose with good definition and a judicious amount of new oak. The palate is well-balanced with good acidity, full of vitality and vibrancy with crisp apple and light gooseberry on the finish. It does not set out to do anything spectacular – it does not need to." 89 points. — Wine Advocate	11.99 reg. 14.99	qty:
