Kemblefield 2002 Reserve Zinfandel (Hawke's Bay)

Price $25

With its medium body and berry-tea flavors, this is more a claret-style Zin than is the current rage in California, but it nicely balances ripe berry flavors with peppery, leafy and rhubarb notes. Drink now. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

Kemblefield 2005 Winemakers Signature Sauvignon Blanc (Hawke's Bay)

Price $14

Ripe pink grapefruit aromas and flavors are almost red-berryish, really, but balanced by crisp acids. Plump in the mouth and very easy to drink, this should be a picnic staple. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

points

Kemblefield 2005 Distinction Pinot Gris (Hawke's Bay)

Price $15

Smells attractively fruity, like ripe peaches and melons. This medium-bodied Pinot Gris is broad and fat in the mouth, then turns dry and zippy on the finish. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (2/1/2006)

points

Kemblefield 2004 Winemakers Signature Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)

Price $13

Fruit-forward, with green apple and lime aromas that are rounded out on the palate by a bit of peach. Light to medium in body, this fresh, crisp Chardonnay picks up citrusy notes on the finish. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

Kemblefield 2002 Distinction Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)

Price $16

Not overly toasty or buttery, but there’s enough of each to make a statement. Honey and peach flavors end on lingering notes of lime and dried spices. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

points

Kemblefield 2002 Reserve Malbec-Merlot (Hawke's Bay)

Price $16

Tastes exactly like you might expect a blend of these two grapes to taste, with blackberry and spice notes from the Malbec (55%) and black-cherry and dried-herb shadings from the Merlot (45%). Although not hugely complex or rich, it’s a pretty wine that shouldn’t be overlooked. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

points

Kemblefield 2004 Distinction Sémillon (Hawke's Bay)

Online Exclusive

Price $16

Slightly nutty and leesy on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied, peach and orange-flavored midpalate. Turns very citrusy and tight on the finish, much like some Hunter Valley Sémillons. Not imported in the U.S. — J.C. (5/1/2006)

points

Kemblefield 2004 Distinction Gewürztraminer (Hawke's Bay)

Price $14

Starts off with lovely rose petal and spice aromas, then delivers broad, mouthfilling flavors without being heavy. On the dry side for NZ Gewürz; finishes clean but a bit short. Imported by Total Beverage Solution. — J.C. (5/1/2006)
