Ngatarawa 2007 Alwyn Merlot-Cabernet (Hawke's Bay)

  • Editors' Choice
The top wine from Ngatarawa isn’t available in the U.S., but it is a benchmark Bordeaux-styled blend from Hawkes Bay. The chocolate, cedar and plum flavors are carried by a big, expansive mouthfeel, and the intensity and length are world class. Drink 2012–2020.  — J.C.  (6/1/2010)

Ngatarawa 2004 Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

  1. $14
Grassy and herbal-smelling, but there’s also lots of grapefruit and nectarines to provide a fruity counterbalance. Light in weight, with a hint of unreleased CO2 to provide additional freshness, this is a mouthwatering summer refresher. Imported by Frederick Wildman and Sons, Ltd.  — J.C.  (7/1/2005)

Ngatarawa 2006 Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

  1. $15
Grassy and herbal on the nose, but those elements are balanced by stone fruit and citrus notes. On the palate, there’s the merest hint of asparagus, but ultimately, this is a soft, fruit-driven style, round and easy to drink.  — J.C.  (11/1/2007)

Ngatarawa 2005 Glazebrook Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

  1. $14
Grassy and herbal on the nose, this medium-weight Sauvignon epitomizes the Marlborough style, blending hints of tropical fruit with grapefruit and herbs in an easy-to-drink wine. Crisp and clean on the finish. Steam some mussels in herbed stock and let the Sauvignon flow.  — J.C.  (9/1/2006)
