Allan Scott 2004 Vineyard Select Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $15

Delivers really nice complexity and balance at a bargain price. The nose combines green leafy notes, a bit of asparagus and a hint of jalapeño with riper notes suggestive of honey and stone fruits. Round in the mouth, with nectarine flavors that turn citrusy and grassy on the finish. Imported by Uniqco Inc. — J.C. (7/1/2005)

Allan Scott 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $14

A crisp, lean style, with herb and citrus aromas with the emphasis on white grapefruit. Shows more intensity and freshness than many Marlbortough Savvies in the price range, with an almost saline quality on the finish. Drink now. — J.C. (3/1/2007)

Allan Scott 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $14

Wines like this are why Americans can’t get enough Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Passion fruit and nectarine are joined by spicy hints of jalapeño, creating a fine balance of round, tropical fruit with peppery piquancy that leaves the mouth watering. — J.C. (12/1/2007)

Allan Scott 1999 Chardonnay (Marlborough)

Price $18

Not shy on the oak, this full-bore wine features toast, butter and oak-imparted spice, backed up by baked pears garnished with cinnamon. Yet it manages to hold together with a finish that echoes with pineapple and citrus. — J.C. (5/1/2001)

Allan Scott 2002 Vineyard Select Chardonnay (Marlborough)

Price $15

I suspect there will be those who criticize this wine for being too fruity—too full of pear and nectarine aromas, too full of ripe, fruity flavors. Where’s the minerality, the terroir? they’ll ask. And, in fairness, that’s what keeps this wine from achieving a higher rating. Still, its lush fruit, combined with a long, mouthwatering finish, make this a winning… — J.C. (7/1/2005)

Allan Scott 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Price $15

The proprietor—you guessed it, Allan Scott—doesn’t like herbaceousness in Sauvignon Blanc and you can tell from the ripeness and lack of green flavors in his wine. Instead, there’s mild grapefruit coupled with melon and passion fruit. — J.C. (5/1/2001)

Allan Scott 2000 Chardonnay (Marlborough)

Price $20

Medium-weight and structured, this Marlborough Chardonnay shows light aromas of baked apple (or applesauce?) and toast on the nose, and mealy banana and caramel flavors in the mouth. Its profile makes sense--it's aged in French oak barrels and goes through partial mallactic fermentation. Lemon, pineapple, chalk and sage perk up the finish. — D.T. (12/15/2001)

Allan Scott 2001 Riesling (Marlborough)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

Medium-weight, with a touch of apparent sweetness, this tart-apple and lime-scented wine should prove versatile at the table. Pair it with anything from wursts and kraut to Thai dishes. — J.C. (8/1/2003)
