Surprisingly ripe and creamy for a Sauvignon Blanc in this price range, with stone fruit aromas and flavors backed by citrus and mild herbs. The warm, rich nature of this wine underscores the differences between most Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs. Best Buy.

Relative to this producer’s fine Sauvignon Blanc, this lightweight Merlot is a bit of a disappointment. Herbal and a bit briary, with tomato-leaf and cherry flavors.
