Cloudy Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Intense green characters, like cutting grass in the summer on a windy day with plenty of acidity. There is full concentration on the palate. Machine harvested, fermented in stainless and aged on the lees for two months. P&B in Blenheim 13.5% $19.99 at Bottle Barn Cloudy Bay
Spinyback Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Green characters and lighter acidity and overall concentration than the Cloudy Bay. But that’s OK given the value price orientation. Produced by Waimea Estates in Nelson 13% $6.99 at K&L Spinyback
