Coopers Creek 1998 Swamp Reserve Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)
- $26
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.

Coopers Creek 1999 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $18
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.

Coopers Creek 1998 Riesling (Hawke's Bay)
- Best Buy
- $9
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.

Coopers Creek 1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Hawke's Bay)
- $24
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.

Coopers Creek 2001 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $15
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.

Coopers Creek 1997 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Best Buy
- $11
Loaded with gooseberry, grass, smoke, and herbs in the nose. Grassy, bold and tart, with lemony flavors. Clean, vibrant, sharp and very dry.

Coopers Creek 2000 Riesling (Hawke's Bay)
- Best Buy
- $12
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.

Coopers Creek 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $15
Lean and tart, this wine shows notes of green pepper, herb and passion fruit at the core. Finishes crisp and citrusy, marrying lime and grapefruit. Imported by Winebow.
