2002 Matariki Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc.

Nice, crisp sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Not quite as citrusy as I've come to expect from a New Zealand sauvignon blanc, but still delicious.

Pale straw in color, absolutely clear. Green pepper and feline aromas. Vibrant, sharp acidity. Intense grassy, green pepper, melon flavors.

Good by itself, with salads, seafood. I had it with a a shrimp pasta with a white sauce; great choice.

$12 - 14, I think (misplaced the receipt), Richmond.
