Marlborough Sauvingon Blanc 2002, Oyster Bay New Zealand, Wine

12 March 2007

Of late I have become a big fan of Sauvingon Blanc’s, for the fruity flavors, and lack of wood flavor. I had read about this wine in FODD AND WINE magazine, so I wanted to give it a try. This is a dry wine, but still with some enjoyable fruity flavors.

Guenoc lake County Sauvignon Blanc 2005

11 August 2006
