Stoneleigh Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2004
We both like New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, and have ever since we had the chance to attend a tasting of Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blancs at the International Wine and Food Festival in Banff a few years ago. This 2004 Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc isn't quite up to a Cloudy Bay, but it is very, very good. Ed's brother and sister-in-law Dwight and Laurel and nieces Denae and Kamara brought it along when they came over for dinner a few days ago. Lots of grapefruit and other citrus flavors, crisp but not tart or astringent, it was very pleasant both by itself and with food.
Margaret Anne recognized the wine as one a friend gave her for her 40th birthday last year. We enjoyed it very much then, too!
