A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Part of the Lion wine portfolio, Huntaway is made at Wither Hills by Matt Large, fourth generation of a family of rose growers in Marlborough; he previously worked as head winemaker at Kim Crawford. This hits the stylistic mark of Marlborough sauvignon blanc, rounded by ripe sweetness, feeling rich rather than sugary, with plenty of passion fruit, orange and grapefruit flavor. It's layered, open and ready to enjoy. Score - 90 (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Feb. 2017) |
