Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2018 (SKU168054,
WS90, $13.79 tax included/375 ml.)
I found this sitting on the LDB shelf in the
half bottle section. I normally do not buy half bottles since wines age better
in full bottles. But since I cannot finish a whole bottle and the Wine
Spectator rating on this vintage was decent, I thought I would give it a try. It
had a fresh nose upon opening and a medium body. The palate had tastes of
citrus fruits. It went well with seafood and even tasted good with mild curry. The
finish was medium. Compared to the 2019 Cloudy Bay,
it was slightly less appealing. But at one third the price, it was still a
decent dinner wine for any Chinese dinner. Note that the price is for half a
bottle. The full bottles at the LDB stores were all 2019 vintage and was rated
at 89 points by Wine Spectator. There is ample stock in various LDB stores.
This wine is also on the wine list of a lot of restaurants since the price
point is affordable.
