Should you consider a New Zealand Savignon Blanc, I have one to be a little careful of. (ewww!)

Until today I'd have given almost all SBs from NZ's Marlborough region a ^ but this one was both a little disappointing and an example that generalising praise for a whole region and vintage is dangerous.

Should you have a preconceived idea of NZ Sauv Blanc, beware the 2006 Monkey Bay Marlborough Sauvingon Blanc- it has none of the fruity bouquet nor the fruity taste sensation of many others from the region.

I had a couple of other SBs tonight from the same region and they were much closer to my very happy experience with this excellent Kiwi export.
