Redcliffe 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $11

New Zealand Sauvignons near the $10 mark that aren’t being churned out by a huge multinational corporation are getting hard to find, but here’s one example, and it’s available in magnums too, which should be even more economical—provided you’ve got a big enough thirst or enough guests to down all that wine.

Redcliffe 2007 Riesling (South Island)

Best Buy

Price $12

Light and lithe, with quintessential Riesling aromas and flavors of green apple, pineapple and lime, all wrapped up by a crisp, refreshing finish. A nice quaffer for the warm months ahead. — J.C. (5/1/2008)

Redcliffe 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Best Buy

Price $10

Quite pungent on the nose, with aggressive Sauvignon character: green pepper, passion fruit, even a bit of cat pee. Fans of the style will find a lot to like for the price. Flavors are softer and easier, with the focus shifting to melon and peach. Imported by Palm Bay Imports. — J.C. (7/1/2005)

Redcliffe 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Price $12

Lightweight and fresh, this is a crisp, peppery Sauvignon Blanc with a core of grapefruit and a touch of sweatiness to its aromas. Probably best with potent shellfish preparations, like mussels steamed in white wine and herbs. — J.C. (12/1/2007)

Online Exclusive

This is a light- to medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc that’s clean and fresh, but not particularly intense or characterful—the kind you can comfortably serve to a non-wine crowd and expect accolades for your choice. Drink now. — J.C. (3/1/2009)
