Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pale lemon in color with a light golden hue.
Nice nose of citrus, grapefruits, lime juice, gooseberry, spices, green apples, minerals, light tropical fruits and bitter herbs.
Medium plus in body with high acidity, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with grapefruits, limes, spices, herbs, green apples, bitter vegetables, citrus and white pepper.
Medium plus in finish with bitter almond.
This is a nice Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, made by Kim Crawford. Not very complex, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Good by itself or with food, a little bitter on the finish and better when properly chilled.
90 points Wine Enthusiasts, but I couldn't get there. I prefer the less expensive Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc.
I paired it with cheeses, crackers and all kinds of different jams.
13.7% alcohol by volume.
86 points.
$19.

Light, clear, pure color. Crisp and snappy with citrus on a tangy palate.

Bit of pepper (green/jalapeño?) on the palette. Good citrus (lime? Pineapple?). Great acidity that I’ve been told to expect to come with NZ Sauv. Needs more “investigation”

90 points Wine Enthusiasts- clear straw color, aromas of a vegetable garden, jalapeño skin and lemongrass. Flavors of white tea and citrus- interesting sharp, dry finish, not like most Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs.

100% Sauvignon Blanc
Pale/light straw yellow, transparent.
The nose of freshly cut grass, green apple,
Light bodied, high acidity, dry. Explosive notes of exotic fruits - honeydew melon, ripe Thai papaya, juicy pineapple, grapefruit. Spring leaves. Sea salt and mineral profile adds complexity. Refreshing and crisp.
This is NZ SB as it should be. Très très bien! 89
