We had this bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand last night with grilled mahi filets. We've had it before and really enjoy it. It's crisp, clean, and refreshing. The 2008 vintage that we had last night was not quite as bracingly acidic as I remember the 2007 being.
The Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is often rated as a Top 100 value by Wine Spectator, and the 2008 was no exception. It was very good, with a nose of tropical fruits and grass. I tasted grapefruit, tropical fruit, and pear. It paired well with the fish and also was very good on its own.
