Natalie's Score: 90/100

One of New Zealand's best known (and most loved) Sauvignon Blancs, Kim Crawford delivers well above it's price point. This half bottle size is great when you only want a couple of glasses of wine, and it offers terrific lemon and lime brightness. The full bottle size is also available in liquor stores now. Winemaker Anthony blends different vineyard parcels of the grapes, like they do in Champagne to create more complexity and interesting flavours.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: cheese, shellfish, Caesar salad, corned beef and cabbage, pork chops.

Smooth
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Aromas of grass and green tea with lemon, lime, and grapefruit flavors accented by a nice crisp acidity.
Signature New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with laser balance and refreshment. Classic aromas of chives, lime, lemon and fresh-cut grass. Perfect for a wide range of dishes, from vegetarian to shellfish. - Community Wine reviews
