Kahurangi 2003 Late Harvest Riesling (Moutere)
- $20
This lush, dessert-style Riesling is impeccably balanced. It’s sweet but not overly so, with hints of dried apricot and honeyed peach on the nose and bergamot and orange marmalade flavors lingering on the finish. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Mt. Arthur Chardonnay (Moutere)
- $22
This top-of-the-line Chard gets the full Monty—barrel fermentation, lees-stirring, malolactic fermentation—resulting in a toasty, buttery wine that’s oaky from start to finish. Thankfully, there’s also decent pear and apple fruit underneath and a lingering finish. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Moutere Gewürztraminer (Nelson)
- $24
Not explosively aromatic, but that may make this Gewürz easier to warm up to for some consumers. It’s filled with pear and peach flavors, rounded out by a touch of residual sugar (to most tasters, it will come across as dry), and finishes with a pinch of peppery spice. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Unwooded Chardonnay (Nelson)
- $17
Unoaked, yet this wine still has a welcome creaminess in the midpalate that helps carry the ripe apple and trop ical fruit flavors. Nicely balanced, and it should be versatile at the table, pairing with a wide array of dishes. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Nelson)
- $18
Green from head to toe, with herbal, grassy notes, hints of bell pepper, and tangy passion fruit flavors barely rounded out by grapefruit. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Old Vines Riesling (Moutere)
- $20
This wine is distinctive, but not easy to cozy up to, with its dry, steely, lime and green apple aromas and flavors. On the finish, chalky, minerally notes seem almost tannic. A bit weird, but will have its fans. Imported by Cordon Selections.

Kahurangi 2004 Pinot Noir (Nelson)
- $24
Aims at a perfumed, elegant style and partially succeeds. There’s a bright, floral bouquet, but the flavors are tart, with shadings of cherry and chocolate that finish short. Imported by Cordon Selections.
