All this being said, I am rather fond of Cloudy Bay's Te Koko (oaked SB). Unfortunately, it's impossible to find in the States.

Nautilus Marlborough SB is one of my picks of the region; I've not tried oaked SB and will look out for the Cloudy Bay, Crawford-family brands and some others. Have you seen this SB variety from other prominent Kiwi makers?
