Riverside 1999 Sauvignon Blanc (Hawke's Bay)
- $12
Ripe, verging on sweet, aromas of green apples and citrus show only a little of the gooseberry fragrance normally associated with Kiwi Sauvignons. Fairly round and soft in the mouth, it does have a hint of jalapeño on the finish that adds varietal spice.

Riverside 2004 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $8
There’s plenty of Chard character in this wine, including upfront peach, pear and pineapple flavors, a creamy texture and some nice buttered toast from oak.

Riverside 2004 White Zinfandel
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $6
Simple, fruity and pretty sweet, with dessert-type raspberry, vanilla and spice flavors. The sweetness benefits from excellent acidity. This is a nice beach or picnic-type wine.

Riverside 1997 Reserve Chardonnay (Stirling)
- $20
A rich, creamy oak bomb that’s loaded with vanilla, toast and butterscotch. Some additional dairy notes creep in on the finish. For wood fans only.

Riverside 1997 Syrah
- $8
Another narrow, cranberry-tomato tartly-fruited red. A hint of sweet, sweaty leather (nicer than it sounds) and the round, smooth mouthfeel add some character here. But this finishes with prickly tannins and a slight metallic note. It needs more and deeper fruit.

Riverside NV White Zinfandel
- $6
Frankly sweet, this simple wine is ripe in strawberry and raspberry flavors, and has decent acidity.

Riverside 1998 Chardonnay (Gisborne)
- $13
Sickly sweet vanilla oak is tempered by some light, tart pineapple fruit, but ultimately it comes across as simple and one-dimensional.

Riverside 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $8
Heavy and gluey, with an odd medicinal flavor and a cherry cough drop finish.
