The 2018 Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc comes from the hilltops above Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. It shows 12.5% abv and sells for $22. Erica Crawford says, “New Zealand’s signature varietal tends to be bold and big,” thanks in no small part to her husband. This wine, she says, “focuses on texture rather than enhanced aromatics.” It went through 25% malolactic fermentation in order to soften the wine. Sure enough, it’s tamer and fruitier on the nose than their previous efforts. The minerals are still there, but the sometimes overwhelming greenness is replaced by a great fruit flavor. The 2017 vintage is a little grassier on the nose and palate, but still mild in comparison to the earlier profile. — 7 years ago

For $30, this is tremendous value. While a little lighter in style than the best Otago Pinot, it’s still got all the stuffing you could ask for. — 8 years ago

Solid Sauvignon blanc. Amazing fruits and berries yet retains some dryness. Smooth finish, no lingering bitterness whatsoever. Better than a Kim Crawford, maybe not quite a Cloudy Bay. $17.99 at Piazza — 10 years ago

2005- Dayum!! The oldest of the vertical has to sit and mellow a bit, but we love her cranky, crotchety attitude regardless Kim is tiring of these posts but remains sexy af- she can’t help it, it’s in her nature. — 8 years ago
