House of Nobilo 1998 Fall Harvest Chardonnay (Gisborne)
- Best Buy
- $12
A great value from this old winery, founded more than 50 years ago. Ample aromas of green apple, ripe peach, butter and smoke, with fig and melon. Lively acidity dominates the fresh, young, green-apple and peach flavors. Complex and interesting, hard to put down. Best Buy.

House of Nobilo 2007 Icon Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
A pleasant step up for Nobilo’s top-of-the-line Sauvignon, offering slightly smoky, herbal but balanced aromas and plenty of melon and stone fruit flavors. It’s full-bodied and rich, with a long, refreshing, slightly herbal finish.

House of Nobilo 2005 Icon Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $20
Produced off dry, bony sites in the Wairau, resulting in a ripe wine that retains the sweaty, passion fruit and gooseberry flavors that make Marlborough Sauvignon so unique, while adding layers of peach and pink grapefruit. Round in the mouth and easy to drink. Imported by Pacific Wine Partners.

House of Nobilo 2006 Regional Collection Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Best Buy
- $12
This is crisp, stylish Marlborough SB. Markedly pungent on the nose, but then it settles down a bit to offer a blend of pink grapefruit and gooseberry fruit with some leafy, herbal nuances. Clean and fresh on the finish. Drink now.

House of Nobilo 2007 Icon Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $22
As all the Icon Pinot Noirs have over the years, this one shows a fair amount of oak: cinnamon, toast and vanilla all mark the nose. But this medium-bodied wine also shows layers of soft, supple fruit underneath. Give it another year to integrate, then drink it over the next 3–4.

- $11
Opens with buttery, citrus and smoky aromas. Rich and creamy, with great texture: steely, crisp and bold. Washes the palate with waves of citrus and spice flavors. Clean as a whistle, and what a bargain. Best Buy.

House of Nobilo 2005 Icon Pinot Gris (Marlborough)
- $22
There’s a copper tinge to this wine’s color, the result some skin contact. The result is a richly fruity wine blessed with layers of ripe apples and berries. Zesty and a bit phenolic on the finish, helping to balance the .8% residual sugar. Imported by Pacific Wine Partners.
