$11, 5 stars, 91 points, marlborough, new zealand, Sauvignon blanc
Pale lemon colored, with a watery sheen (13% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of lemon verbena, cut grass, jalapeño, white blossom, papaya, grapefruit, and lime zest. The palate is dry, with high acidity and a medium (-) body. Medium (+) intensity flavors that mirror the nose are sharpened up by the cutting acidity. The finish is medium (+) in length. What a shockingly good value wine that is so consistent and tasty. I paid $10 for this 91 point effort which makes it a 5 star bottle to buy en mass. Drink till 2028 (would be interesting to see how it matures and what cellaring capacity it may have). I’m pairing it with seared scallops and garlic linguine. Salut….
