Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Marlborough, New Zealand
12.5% alc/vol $16.99 (BC) 
This clean, crisp Sauvignon Blanc shows ripe aromas of green pear, passionfruit, papaya and canned peaches along with the traditional New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grassiness, gooseberry and asparagus. On the palate, it starts out ripe, with pear, grapefruit and gooseberry, then grassy notes and hints of banana and canned fruit salad. Acidity and alcohol are well-integrated, making this an easy-drinking, crowd-pleasing Sauvignon Blanc. At $16.99, it is priced at the low end of the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc scale and combines typical New Zealand characteristics with riper, fruitier Okanagan-style juciness. Good value. Drink now.
