Framingham 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $20
Framingham is one of New Zealand’s Riesling pioneers, but this shows the winery is serious about Sauvignon Blanc as well. There’s a smoky, struck-flint character on the nose, then layers of citrusy fruit on the palate. It’s medium bodied, with a long, grapefruity finish.

Framingham 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $14

Framingham 2001 Classic Riesling (Marlborough)
- $15
With almost 2% residual sugar, you might expect this wine to taste sweet. It does—to a point. The strong lime-like finish provides a balancing counterpoint that makes this floral wine very drinkable with food. Clove and cinnamon notes add complexity to ripe pear fruit.

Combines dusky peach and passion fruit aromas and flavors in a wine that’s a bit softer and sweeter-tasting than many Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, yet still carries a refreshing touch of acid on the finish. Imported by New Zealand Wine Imports.

Framingham 2004 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $26
Light but pretty, offer-ing up floral, cola and cherry scents. It’s a soft, easy-drinking style, with a tart, pie-cherry note on the finish. Imported by New Zealand Wine Imports.

Framingham 2010 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Despite this estate remaining among the top echelon of New Zealand Riesling producers, Framingham’s Pinot Noir is solid but unexciting. It’s plump and medium bodied, and it offers modest cherry fruit and a touch of bitterness on the finish.
