Kim Crawford Pansy! Rosé 2013, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: This Rosé has an almost neon pink hue, and is just as vibrant on the palate with strawberry jam notes, even though it is bone-dry. It is a blend of Merlot and Malbec grapes that won a gold medal in the New Zealand International Wine Show. Fun and delightful with a playful sense of style. Fleshy ripe raspberries with sun-dappled goodness. Medium-bodied. Try it with seared tuna or salmon. Drink: 2014-2016. 650325 13% XD 750 mL  $17.99 Score: 90/100. March 29, 2014 Best Value Rosé Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
Kim Crawford Unoaked Chardonnay 2013, Marlborough, Hawke's Bay, East Coast, New Zealand: Fresh and crisp with no oak. Citrus character from Hawke's Bay combines with tropical fruit from Marlborough. Malolactic fermentation with 7 months on the lees to impart richness and creaminess: gives the impression of oak without the heaviness. Butterscotch notes but still ultra-fresh fruit.  Refute the notion of ABC (Anything But Chardonnay), a movement started against Chardonnay for being too heavy: this wine will convince you otherwise. Try it with fresh seafood. Drink: 2014-2017. 991950 14% XD 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 91/100. August 15, 2014 Best Value White Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review

The Dreaming Tree Chardonnay 2013, Central Coast California, United States: Fleshy ripe peaches and pears on the nose and palate wrapped in toasty oak. Full-bodied, juicy and very pleasant. Pair with veal chops. Drink: 2013-2016. 364265 13% D 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 88/100. September 27, 2014 Full Review

Sokol Blosser Winery Evolution Lucky No 9 White Blend 2019, Oregon, United States: A lovely profusion of white field flowers, white peach and lychee. Reminds me of Conumdrum and Irstone's Symphony. So exotic yet ultimately pleasing. Drink: 2021-2023. 206870 12% MD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 89/100. July 6, 2011 Best Value White Wine. Full Review
