2008 Kim Crawford Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Wow, this is a fantastic bottle, and a ridiculous value. Costco had 100 cases of this piled up and they were selling them for $13 so I'll be stopping back for some more soon. And it's another one that is highly rated - a 91 pointer from Wine Spectator - so please check out my series on 90+ point rated wines for under $20 for other bottles that fit the bill. This one is among the least expensive of the group, but I rated it very high.
This wine just blows away almost any other Sauvignon Blanc that I can remember having in this price range. Almost makes shopping the white aisle in the store a joke, as these other bottles can't live up to what this one offers. Just a perfect structure and balance. Nose is grapefruit, lime, pear. Nice flavor throughout. Finish stands up strong. It's a bottle that knows exactly what it wants to be and then decides to be a bit more.
Highly enjoyable, and highly recommended. I would drink this every week if I could, particularly in the summertime, as it's a perfect back porch companion. Let me know what you think on this one.
