Mount Cass 2004 Chardonnay (Waipara)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Not that expressive on the nose, giving up little more than some faintly nutty-leesy scents. But this is nicely weighty on the palate without being heavy, with custardy accents to its complex citrus and tropical flavors. Long on the finish, where it picks up hints of dried spices.

Mount Cass 2004 Waipara Gravels Reserve Riesling (Waipara)
- $18
A bit floral on the nose, then that gives way to pear and apple fruit aromas. It’s medium-bodied, nicely balancing the 7g/L residual sugar with crisp acidity that makes it appear virtually dry. Tart and appley on the finish. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Mount Cass 2004 Unoaked Chardonnay (Waipara)
- Online Exclusive
Quite attractive, with flinty aromas backed by scents of apple and pear. More fleshy and ripely tropical in the mouth, giving an impression of richness without oak.

Mount Cass 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Waipara)
- $17
Bits of boxwood and sweet pea add layers of green to this nicely harmonious and well-balanced effort from Marlborough. Not particularly intense or concentrated, but a pretty rendition of Sauvignon Blanc. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Mount Cass 2003 Pinot Noir (Waipara)
- $27
A rather delicate style, with bits of smoke, dried herbs and spice accenting cherry fruit. Light-bodied, but with pretty aromatics and good flavor intensity. Drink now–2008. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Mount Cass 2004 Late Harvest Chardonnay (Waipara)
- $20
Quite sweet, but ultimately a bit simple, this partially botrytized Chardonnay clocks in at 12% residual sugar. A fleeting whiff of volatile acidity might bother sensitive tasters, but there’s also plenty of ripe pineapple and dried apricot flavors. Imported by DC Imports LLC.

Mount Cass 2002 Pinot Noir (Waipara)
- Online Exclusive
Features a delicate and pretty bouquet, offering up hints of smoke, dried herbs and cherries, but turns a bit blocky and chunky on the palate, with powerful chocolate notes.
