90 points "2006 Lake Chalice Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand -- I generally love SBs from New Zealand, and this one doesn't disappoint. The color is pale Silver Award and yellow, the aroma a fresh burst of grapefruit: POW! The taste is what we love about wine from this country ... all there, big but balanced, tons of grapefruit citrus and a little smoke on the finish."
