Sileni Marlborough 2013 Sauvignon Blanc





Sileni Marlborough 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $10.99-$12.99, 91 points, appeared a very light brass color trending almost water clear toward the glass wall.
Bright aromas of white grapefruit, lemon grass, and orange blossoms were lovely.
The light crisp body of good acidity and medium Sauvignon Blanc typical texture carried all the good flavor notes of Gooseberries (the aroma notes), and carried those into a long finish with a touch of black pepper and ginger with a hint of the 12.5% alcohol.
This is why Sauvignon Blanc is the Premiere wine of New Zealand.

Ferrari Carano 2013 Flume Blanc



Ferrari Carano 2013 Flume Blanc, $9.98-$18.99, 89 points, poured a bright gold color. The nose was a simple toasty apple and honeysuckle.
Light-plus body was a bit creamy, yet coarse when cold, with good acidity, and flavors of kiwi, citrus, grassy notes, and green melon.
Finished long on the trailing palate with hints of ginger, the 13.8% alcohol, and tangerine.

Frei Brothers Dry Creek Valley 2012 Zinfandel Reserve


 
Frei Brothers Dry Creek Valley 2012 Zinfandel Reserve, $13.60-$20.99, 90 points, began with a deep lovely Shiraz purple which tapered maroon toward the broad clear rim and leggy glass wall.
Aromatic cinnamon, cedar, and a gentle hint of clove complimented a spicy red cherry with hints of other red fruits.
Medium body with what is sometimes referred to as a dusty texture, which I added: dry-dusty texture with good acidity, and mulberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors.
Finished long on white and black pepper, a hint of heat (14.8% alcohol), and slight vegetative note.
I bought this Zinfandel as a 'close-out' at the Londonderry Hannaford's Super Market.

Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc






Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $10.64, 88 points, poured a very light lime green trending gray to water-clear at the glass wall.
Bright aromas of apple, tangerine, grapefruit, and honeysuckle were quite good.
Light and crisp body carried good mouth-watering acidity, a bit tart, and flavors that faithfully mirrored the aromas with a hint of lemon grass.
Finished fair on the trailing palate with a dominant grapefruit and a touch of the 13% alcohol.
I found this 2013 SB at Walmart of Derry.

Mezzacorona Trentino D.O.C. Riesling



Mezzacorona Trentino D.O.C. Riesling,
2 for $10.00-$10.99 each, 86 points, appeared a yellow/green color, and smelled of petrol, caramel, and green apple.
The near medium body, was acidic, dry, and tart.
Flavors reflected the nose.
Finished well on the trailing palate and a hint of the 12.5% alcohol.
This was the first Italian Riesling I've come across, and at this price point I was not disappointed, though definitely a white table wine; paired well with my Australian sea bass.
