WINE REVIEW ONLINE FOR 2006

NEW ZEALAND

White: 

Giesen, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2006 ($16, Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.):

It is not easy to find a bad wine from Marlborough or even a boring one, and this bottling proves no exception. Classic styling shows in the forms of expressive aromatics, bright flavors, and an energetically refreshing finish, with grapefruit and cut grass notes marking each phase of the tasting experience.
