Stunning NZ Values

[Bucko]

2000 Brancott, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, $11, 20,000 cases. Big, beautiful aromas of gardenias, peaches and gooseberries highlight this medium to full-bodied wine. Gooseberry flavors dominate, with apricots and spice on the substantial finish. A nice match with roasted, herbed chicken and sorrel. 89/94.

1999 Brancott, Pinot Noir, Reserve, Marlborough, New Zealand, $16. A classic Pinot Noir nose on this sparkling ruby wine. You’ll appreciate red berries, spice, black tea, very brisk acidity, and a long finish. 90/93.

2000 Brancott, Chardonnay, Gisborne, New Zealand, $11, 12,000 cases. Apples and pears prevail on the nose. This golden straw wine has lively acidity, with apple, pear and apricot fruit and just a touch of clove for added complexity. A Seagram Estate Import. 89/93.
