Wine Folly Review: Page 262 is about New Zealand wines. Sauvignon Blanc is about 50% of the wine produced in the region. The book mentions passionfruit aromas and high acidity. I taste the high acidity but not the passionfruit. Page 165 talks about Sauvignon Blancs in general and also talks about the high acidity. It also mentions pairing it with salty cheeses and light meats which I will do in the future. Of all the fruits mentioned I can taste the hints of white peach.
Winery Review: The 2022 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is on target in its varietal category. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of slight pungent notes, dried herbs, rustic earth, and grapefruit peel. Pair it with a dozen or two raw oysters. (Tasted 11/24/2022) - 91
Personal Review: I love this wine! I definitely enjoy dry wines especially the acidic flavor. I also taste a bit of white peach and herbs. It is a great wine to enjoy by itself and I will make sure to try it with cheese and meats. It is very enjoyable. The chilled wine gives it a crisp finish.
I tasted this chilled and without food.
