It’s easy to see why Kim Crawford is the No. 1 Sauvignon Blanc sold in America. It has the zing of other New Zealand Sauvignons but with round, soft edges instead of sharp elbows. The 2018 is classic, showing notes of grapefruit and gooseberry and just the right touch of tartness for which Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs are famous. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
