* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A nice, all-around sipping wine. Strikes a middle path, with well-ripened apple and citrus fruit flavors and crisp acidity, and just a touch of balancing sweetness. This versatile wine is wonderful now in its expressive youth.

Loaded with gooseberry, grass, smoke, and herbs in the nose. Grassy, bold and tart, with lemony flavors. Clean, vibrant, sharp and very dry.

Steer clear of this one if you like your Sauvignons done in stainless. This one is 100% barrel fermented, yielding some toasty, smoky aromas that blend well with the forceful tropical fruit flavors. There’s guava and pineapple, smoke and menthol on the long finish.

Rich cassis aromas also carry a leafy, tobacco-like note. Then some chocolate emerges on the palate, along with dried herbs. Despite this wine’s Cabernet content, it’s ready to drink now.

Pretty aromas of wildflower, apple, peach, butter, smoke and mineral. A dry, fruity wine, with low oak, high acidity and some complexity. Grows on you with each sip. Lots of terroir. Best Buy.

Toasty, with menthol overtones from French oak (50% new), but the new wood is well balanced by intensely musky pear fruit. The long finish shows off complex nuances of oatmeal, lees and hazelnuts.

Hawkes Bay’s slighter warmer temperatures have given this N.Z. Riesling a softer, more approachable nature than many of its compatriots. With its barely perceptible residual sugar, it almost tastes “fuzzy” like peach or apricot skins, but with a core of pear and spice flavors. Best Buy.

Oregano and thyme notes that add complexity without becoming overwhelming mark the bright cherry fruit in this medium-weight wine. For current consumption.

This wine features toasty, cedary elements over cherry fruit, with some distinctly earthy notes that provide depth and interest.

Plump and soft in the mouth, with ripe apple and pear flavors underscored by tangy notes of passion fruit.
