Caroline Bay 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Pink grapefruit is most pronounced on the otherwise soft, sweet bouquet. The mouth is tangy, with green apple and crisp pear and green melon. In the mouth, there’s a welcome creaminess, then a long citrusy finish that offers plenty of sweetness closes things out.

Caroline Bay 2002 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $16
This is a softer, rounder style of Sauvignon Blanc than many Marlborough versions, with sweet pink grapefruit flavors creamily sweeping across the palate. Yet there are enough lively, zesty character and hints of pepper to provide varietal and regional identity.

Caroline Bay 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $18
Plump, rounded and a bit soft overall, with musky, ripe melon and stone fruits. A pleasant mouthful that lacks the zip and freshness of the very best examples.

Caroline Bay 2000 Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)
- $16
An oaky style, yet one that doesn’t seem heavy or overdone. Buttered apple and toast aromas set off cinnamon and cashew flavors and a long, spicy-nutty finish.

Caroline Bay 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Hawke's Bay)
- $20
The nose is an interesting blend of cocoa, dill, cassis and lemon. Flavors pretty much follow suit, sneaking in some tobacco and cedar shadings before turning lean and lemony. The finish shows off a whack of dry, cedary French oak. Hard to know where this will be in five years—might dry out, might get interestingly complex.
