2006 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc


Winery: Kim Crawford

Wine: Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Retail: $17.49


Description: "The wine is mouth filling with good texture and finishes well with crisp acidity and great length. Tangy in style, with plenty of fresh green apple character adding depth to the grapefruit and guava flavors, lingering nicely."


Ratings: Wine Spectator - 92 points

#40, THE TOP 100 OF 2006, Wine Spectator


Review: 92. My favourite sauv blanc so far. Lush pears and some peach in the inital pallet lead nicely to a citrus lemon finish, which is very clean and long. Wonderful balance. Developes like a cab, very nice. Some spice flavors compacted in the midpallet make it more interesting. One of the great ones coming out of New Zealand. Peaches stay long after you're done.
