twitterSavvy wine buy: Sauvignon Blanc ‘97
Wednesday, April 26, 2000 | 10:39 a.m.
Max Jacobson
New Zealand has been wowing wine enthusiasts for more than a decade with its own brand of Sauvignon Blanc. Cloudy Bay is a popular example. But Allan Scott, a small specialty producer who puts out less than 10,000 cases per year, is giving his competitors a good run with this steely, austere wine. It's less grassy than a California Sauvignon Blanc, and it has a graciously herbal character. And because it is so well balanced, it is a friendlier food wine than your typical oak-heavy Chardonnay.
Available at Spirits Plus, $12.99, and Lee's Discount Sunset, $11.99.
