2002 Montana Timara Sav Blanc

[Skeeter]

Well, what can i tell you about this one? It's the lower-end rnge from Montana, one of the biggest producers in Kiwiland. Made from Chilean and New Zealand grapes, and retails for about NZ$10. I'm drinking a bottle my mother brought over for dinner a few weeks back. (And which we never opened, finishing off my Westbrook Chardonnay instead.)

Oddly, it's not too bad for a budget label. Quite crisp, dry and citrusy. Kind of like biting into a crisp green apple at first. The Montana website mentions gooseberry aromas... I'll have to take their word for it, since I wouldn't know the scent of a gooseberry if it fell out of the sky, landed on my face and started to wiggle. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]

On the whole, a nice easy-drinker that's easy on the wallet. It'd probably go down well at a summer barbie.

Skeeters tasting notes say: "You buy it, I'll help you drink it!"
