Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Winemaker Anthony blends different vineyard parcels of the grapes, like they do in Champagne to create more complexity and interesting flavours. Well-priced at $10 for this benchmark Sauvignon Blanc produced from grapes sourced from the Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valley. This is a lovely summer sipper for one on the patio on a sunny afternoon or an appie wine for two prior to the main course. Drink: 2018-2020. 160085 13% XD 375 mL  $9.95 Score: 88/100.
