New Zealand Blanc

Just a brief note (before I do some more interesting posts) about some white wines that I've been trying, namely Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. These wines tend to have strong citrus and mineral flavors and are not recommended for drinking "solo", that is without food. I kind of like them even though I'm not a great fan of white wine. Each sip is a bit of an adventure.

The Nobilo Icon is a fairly pricey (>$15) representative. A powerful aroma of grapefruit and peach promises tongue-twanging sips, which are delivered with more grace than is typical of the group. Drink cold with desert!
