Knot, knotty, knotted. Any tighter and this could winch up the Titanic. Think SB in a straight-jacket. Slick in its near perfection of that green, hay, gooseberry Sauv Blanc predominant down under Kiwi style, and with the Decanter scores to prove it. Sure they have, I don’t know, perfected the classic New Zealand Sauv Bl; but is it just really good Sauv Bl or a true pleasure to drink? In our household the jury is out on that.
There was a time when NZ was cutting edge for their forward, acidic and deeply complex Sauv Blanc. I really couldn’t get enough. Nowadays, it’s as though they’re just making the same thing over and over; highs and lows of a repetitive theme. Halloween 12 anyone? Some of us have gone back to the muted, floral notes of Sancerre. Others are reveling in the newbie upstarts; try the gray label Haywire for starters.
Price: A rather hefty $35 at BC Liquor before taxes.
Market Liquidity: Good (but predictably good).
