Still admirably fresh, Delta’s 2009 Sauvignon Blanc features pretty straightforward Marlborough traits of red bell pepper, passion fruit and grapefruit in a medium-bodied format. Drink up.——J.C.(4/1/2011)—— 86

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc gives subtle lemongrass and straw aromas with lime leaf. Crisp, dry and zesty in the mouth, this very drinkable light to medium bodied wine has a long refreshing finish. Drink it now to 2012. Delta is a label I’ve admired for the value it has consistently offered since its inception. A joint venture between UK based importer/wholesaler David Gleave MW and locally based flying winemaker Matt Thomson, this pair has yet to put a foot wrong across their various ventures in the wine world.No known USA importer.

Typical Sauvignon, well executed. Struck flint aromas add an intriguing aspect to this wine, which otherwise delivers melon and fig notes on the midpalate and a zesty, citrusy finish.——J.C.(9/1/2010)—— 87
