The finish offers a big mouthfeel that\u2019s balanced by leaner, crisper notes of ruby red grapefruit. A must for pairing with fresh shellfish and seafood. Outstanding!<\/p>\n<p><strong>2016 Pinot Noir<\/strong> (about $19) \u2013 The savory, umami qualities of this delicious New Zealand red wine are complemented by an ample portion of dark cherry and berry fruit. Subtle, earthy nuances underneath it all remind you that you\u2019re indeed drinking Pinot Noir, even if it comes across as a bit more full-bodied than most. A great value at the under-$20-a-bottle price point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2017 Sauvignon Blanc<\/strong> (about $18) \u2013 As you might expect, this Marlborough-based white wine provides tangy, citrus aromas along with savory green herbs and lemongrass. On the palate, there\u2019s even more citrusy lime and grapefruit, with tropical fruit and candied lemon flavors that work together with the wine\u2019s laser-sharp acidity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Zealand wines have earned a reputation for being expressive, flavorful, and highly affordable.
