Lake Chalice 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $17
Nicely ripened without being overripe, this rather soft Sauvignon marries peach and melon fruit with a dollop of grassy herbaceousness. Pretty and easy to drink; best yet from this winery. Imported by Via Pacifica Imports.

Lake Chalice 2009 Falcon Vineyard Riesling (Marlborough)
- $17
This wine’s ripeness and power are similar to many Rheingau Rieslings. Honey, apple, peach, spice and petrol all combine easily into a slightly broad, off-dry style.

Lake Chalice 2004 Riesling (Marlborough)
- $16
Reasonably full-bodied despite only 12.5% alcohol, this off-dry Riesling features aromas and flavors of ripe peaches and vanilla, while a shot of grapefruit cleans things up nicely, adding needed delineation to the finish. Imported by Via Pacifica Imports.

Lake Chalice 2006 New Zealand Falcon Riesling (Marlborough)
- $16
A plump, off-dry Riesling, this wine kicks off with scents of passion fruit as well as hints of honey and grapefruit. Honeyed citrus and green apple flavors take over on the palate, finishing long and clean.

Lake Chalice 2002 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $22
An easy-to-drink and easy-to-like Pinot, Lake Chalice’s 2002 melds smoky, herbal nuances with cola and black cherries in a tart, lightweight format. Try it with a simple, herb-rubbed roast chicken.

Lake Chalice 2009 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $23
A dark, savory style of Pinot Noir, with intense aromas and flavors of cedar, coffee and cola that turn a bit dry and astringent on the finish. It’s fairly big in the mouth, yet not particularly rich or textured. Drink it over the next few years.

Lake Chalice 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $16
Seems a bit soft on the finish, but otherwise packs in plenty of pink grapefruit and passion fruit. Herbal, vegetal hints provide extra kick, but this medium-weight wine is made to go down easy, without any sharp edges. Imported by Via Pacifica Imports.

Lake Chalice 2010 Eyrie Vineyard Pinot Gris (Marlborough)
- $17
Dry and medium bodied, this features ample apple and citrus notes, accented by hints of chalk dust and spice. Drink it over the next six months.
