Kumeu River

Estate Chardonnay 2011

Trite to say, perhaps, but having just ate kiwi, this wine is surprisingly reminiscent. Wonderful stones, apples, grass, and toffee on the nose. I taste something astringent, almost kiwi-like, and slightly like petrol. Don't know what this was like in its youth but I like it now. There is a touch more butter than I'd like it the freshness of the nose carries through with nice acid and that astringency. Drink up! — 9 years ago

Domaine de Chantepierre

Tavel Rosé Blend 2015

The color of this tickles me--a bright, almost neon pink. Nose takes me straight to strawberry-kiwi starburst. Lemon oil and gravelly mineral notes. Palate is juicy, oily, and a bit grippy. — 9 years ago

Domaine Pascal Cotat

La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Light straw color. Very tight in the nose, even after being open for a couple of hours. Notes of light citrus, kiwi and white flowers. Not much else. High pitched and fruit abundant in the mouth. Light acidity and structure, almost to a flaw. Closed down? Needs more age? Will wait a few years more and check in on this one down the road. — 7 years ago

Wow. I’ve had a lot of kiwi SBs in my day but this wine is completely different. Super elegant on the nose, elderflower and hay on the nose with subtle pear skin and muted grapefruit. Med + / med acid toned down and balanced. Ripe citrus turned down to a 6 and a touch of lees to provide structure. Finish is vibrant, clean and strong on the fruit — 8 years ago

Conn Creek

Anthology Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Conn Creek is a boutique winery on the Silverado Trail in the Rutherford district headed by winemaker Mike McGrath. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep red with aromas of currants and floral notes. On the palate juicy blackberry and raspberry flavors with espresso and tobacco tones with big well integrated tannins. Lingering finish ending with cedar and mineral ending. Will benefit from aging. — 9 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2016

This is the 2016 and it is as good as the prior growths if not better, the reason I keep it stocked. Mild floral with excellent kiwi and citrus taste that just lingers in your mouth. Never been disappointed and this a step ahead. Buy for cocktails, chicken or fish, you won't go wrong!! — 9 years ago

Red Cap Vineyards

Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc 2014

This brawny Rutherford SB is much like that kid that joined the marines just for fun. Bronzed pear color. Fat legs coat the glass upon initial swirl. Robust, rich and perhaps almost pine-tinged flavors of lime and kiwi. Bold, with a nice, weighty mouthfeel. Has body and bite. Was very lucky to find this wine indeed. Yellow flowers and a slight honeyed essence from the Semillion with a present minerality. I think zesty is a great adjective for this Rutherford SB — 9 years ago

@Shawn G. Rose : Indeed it does! I'm super picky about SBs, so if I come across, I'll pick it up.

@Shay Aldriedge same here, I'm picky about price point as well. I believe some of the best can be had for under $25.
