Front-loaded with gooseberry and feline aromas and flavors, this Sauvignon Blanc will appeal to those who like those New Zealand-like notes. It also has richer flavors of Meyer lemons and limes.——S.H.(3/1/2009)—— 84

Green grass, cat pee, gooseberry and lemons and limes are the flavors that mark this crisp white wine. These strong flavors won’t appeal to everyone. Nice with bruschetta with grilled veggies and chevre. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 84

Kenwood’s regular Sauvignon Blanc was a hard act to top. This one costs two bucks more, and while it’s richer in creamy oak and lees, it’s really not better, just different. It’s a yummy, complex wine, and this is a great price for this quality.——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 90

A rich, textured wine with a creamy mouthfeel and great depth of fruit, leading to a long complex finish. The wine manages the neat trick of focusing on fresh Sauvignon Blanc fruit but adding a complex, slightly oaky structure.——L.W.(9/1/1999)—— 87
