A lush Pinot Noir; the heavy black Muntok pepper, rose petal, dessert spices and cherry make for an elegant and romantic wine.
¡Salud!

This is a very dry Sauvignon Blanc; plenty of exotic notes; passion fruit, papaya, pineapple and gold kiwi; this wine is perfect for the most hearty of seafood dishes. A beautiful straw color is elegant and is as good as it tastes.

I love Pinot’s from New Zealand but that does not always like the vintage or producer. I expect a lot from Pinot’s regardless of where they are born. I always a knock my socks off Pinot. But this was not the love affair that I so dearly longed for–this wine had head from dusting of red peppers, some plum and a bit deprived on the medium red fruits, some leather and some underbrush.

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc exhibited fresh cut greens, allspice, apple pie and white nectarine. Good as a stand alone Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blancs are not always wines that need be served only with food; occasionally there are gorgeous wines like this that would make an excellent mid-summer wine as well as a wine to be served with just cooked crab.
K and L Wine Merchants - $17.99
