Isabel has been mentioned here of late as well as St Claire but what about Brancott, Kim Crawford, Jackson or even Villa Maria. Cheers everyone!

Bob Parsons Alberta. wrote:Randy, thanks for getting the ball rolling! Nice to hear from you Sue. We have only just received the `05s and have seen many I am familar with. Yup, the Matua highend is here! I mentioned the `04 Selaks cos it seems to have been hidden in the cellar and it turned up during a cleanup. Just opened it, still has some zip but agree wine has lost that edge.Was there some barrel fermentation with this one, Sue?

Shame. 2005 Shingle Peak Sauvignon Blanc was one fantastic wine.

Might be gone though, now that it's on the Wine Speculator's Top 100.

color: pale yellow-green
nose: lots of tropical fruits, minerals and a hint of grass
palate: powerful, tropical fruit, grapefruit, clean finish
Not a label I'm familiar with, we found this in a sushi restaurant while on vacation in Florida. It's quite similar to the most flamboyant NZ SBs such as Palliser Estate's (Michael Cooper MW: "Marlborough Sauvignon in drag") and paired quite successfully with the sushi.
