Crossroads 2006 Destination Series Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $14

This Hawkes Bay-based winery has turned in an impressive effort from Marlborough-grown grapes, matching hints of green pea and mint with ripe melon and fig flavors. It’s a bit broad on the palate, but regains focus and shows admirable length on the finish. — J.C. (3/1/2008)

Crossroads 2002 RGF Red (Hawke's Bay)

Price $30

Crossroads’ top-of-the-line red delivers really good fruit—notably black cherries—garnished with vanilla and toast from new oak. Could use a richer mouthfeel, but offers nice flavors before turning a bit tart on the finish. Imported by South Pacific Wines. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

Crossroads 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Fresh, clean and easy, this is a well made, if somewhat basic, example of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Hints of grass and celery leaf accent grapefruit notes. Drink now. — J.C. (9/1/2010)

Crossroads 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Price $15

This Marlborough Sauvignon from a Hawke’s Bay winery is a little on the herbal side—even close to vegetal, although it doesn’t quite go that far. A trace of sweetness lingers to balance out the tobacco- and tomato-leaf elements. — J.C. (9/1/2011)

Crossroads 2004 Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)

Price $17

This is 100% barrel-fermented, which has left its mark on the wine. There’s some crisp apple and citrus fruit flavors, but toast and butter notes play the starring role. It’s a well-made, New World, oaky Chardonnay. Imported by South Pacific Wines. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

Crossroads 2006 Destination Series Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

This easygoing Chard starts off with hints of toasted cashew and pineapple, then folds in flavors of melon and citrus. It’s medium-bodied and well-made, just thins out a little on the finish. Drink now. — J.C. (11/1/2009)
