2002 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand

[wondersofwine]

Enjoyed this at a wine bar in Charlotte.
Pale straw color with a nose only slightly grassy and suggesting also white grapefruit and possibly verbena. On the palate a refreshing citrus tingle, lingering flavor. It tastes quite pure with grapefruit notes, lemon and grass. Would match nicely with many seafood dishes, maybe even sushi. (This restaurant is noted for seafood and sushi so their wines are generally chosen to complement that type of cuisine.) I liked it (better than the Selaks Sauvignon Blanc I had in Florida although that was not bad either).
