90 pts. Wine Spectator: December 31, 2010
Softly juicy, with an elegant display of ripe pear, nectarine and citrus flavors. Features a terrific texture, and the intensity kicks in on the detailed finish. Drink now.

“Hey, hey, Coopers Creek win’ry
Bouquet of passionfruit and gooseberry
Make way, for Coopers Creek win’ry
Grapefruit on the palate, with brisk acidity
All alone, New Zealand stands
Best Sauv Blanc in all the lands
Classic Marlborough; a place you can’t ignore
This ’09 is colored pale yellow-green
With a delightful finish that is crisp and clean”
This Sauvignon Blanc pairs well with most seafood, particularly oysters on the half shell, or ceviche; but I enjoy it most with either dolmades or sashimi and, of course, Neil Young (preferably Harvest, On The Beach or American Stars ’N Bars, given that these albums came out around the time Sauvignon Blanc was first planted in Marlborough). Drink now and often.
