Brisk acidity gives this ripe, honeyed wine a much-needed hit of crispness. The flavors are very rich, of tangerines, papayas and the sweet taste of Meyer lemons. Delightful and satisfying for a cocktail sipper, or with Thai, Vietnamese or Chinese pork and chicken dishes. ——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 88

New Zealand-style gooseberry and citrus fruit notes give this wine a rather tart taste, but it’s dry, and gets the mouth watering. Pair with salty tapas foods.——S.H.(12/15/2011)—— 85
