This unique Sauvignon Blanc has gooseberry aromas and flavors suggestive of those Marlborough wines from New Zealand, but also a pickleweed note that veers into cat pee. Yet it's not quite dry, but has a honeyed finish. Try with a spinach salad with shrimp and pink grapefruit.——S.H.(7/1/2006)—— 84

Opens with a great big burst of freshly sliced grapefruit sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg, and tastes just as crisply refreshing. The citrusy fruit and bright acidity clean the palate, preparing it for food. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 88
