"Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2006! Color: Pale straw with touches of green. Aroma: Classic Sauvignon characters of cut grass and tropical fruits are dominant on the nose. Palate: Unfolds with flavors of passionfruit, gooseberry and subtle herbaceousness. The wine is mouthfilling with good texture and finishes well with cleansing acidity and great length. Food Match: Ideally suited to asparagus, oysters and summer salads. Cellar: A wine to drink now and, with careful cellaring, will last up to five years. "

- Citrus, crisp, totally refreshing. Went through 4 cases at my wedding, but who cares since I got it on sale in NJ for $12.99 a bottle! One of the best deals in the wine world in 2007.

- intense tropical fruit while refraining from being unctious or cloying, a great price, a great choice for a novice wine drinker, a real people pleaser

- People that say they can't find different fruit flavors in wine need to try this. KILLER grapefruit nose. Great acidity makes it a dream to drink with food. Nice vibrant finish with hints of lime. A gorgeous wine at a gorgeous price. I DARE you not to like it.

- Lush tropical fruit with key lime and a touch of green bell pepper, evenly balanced with good acidity to keep it fresh.

- The way a New Zealand SB should taste. Grapefruit, lime, herbal flavors and aromas.

- A perennial favorite, this vintage may be one of the best in recent years. With focused citrus and gooseberry aromas and flavors playing off lush nectarine and mango. Generous, bright finish. Ready to drink now.

- This wine is a fabulous tropical fruit bomb. Passionfruit and pineapple are the dominant flavors. (I love passionfruit) with well balanced acid. A steal at the price.

- Great concetration of tropical fruits - pineapple, mango. Sweet but with enough acidity to hold itself without being cloying. Excellent for price, price is escalating.

If you like your Sauvignon Blanc with a bit of grapefruit, it doesn't get much better than the Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2006 from Marlborough, New Zealand.
This wine is fresh, clean and crisp, and filled with flavors of grapefruit and lime. It's medium-bodied, low in acidity and has a moderate alcohol level of 13 percent -- a good thing, because it's a very easy wine to drink.
It usually hits the shelf at just under $20 a bottle, but every now and then it goes on sale for about $15 -- when it does, stock up!
