Classy Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc Charms Business Week

Nick Passmore of Business Week’s current Wine of the Week is Shepherd’s Ridge Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough Region. At $14 it over shadows the popular but elitest Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
That’s why Nick’s current Wine of the Week, Shepherd’s Ridge Sauvignon Blanc ($14) is such a standout. It’s a finely made NZ sauvignon blanc that equals those at twice the price. It shows delicate, zesty fruit flavors balanced by just a hint of those hallmark herbaceous elements without being overwhelmed by them. Cool fermentation and sur lie aging result in a full, rich mouth-feel without any oak contact, and wine that’s a pure delight at a very moderate price.
Crafted at the Wither Hills Winery, the first Shepherds Ridge wine was Shepherds Ridge Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 1999. This wine was selected by Wine Spectator Magazine in their Top 100 wines of the year and awarded 90 points. Subsequent vintages also achieved 90 points, and the Shepherds Ridge Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2002 was awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious International Wine Challenge.
Shepherds Ridge is to the South East of Blenheim:

I’ll have to check my local stores and see if they have a bottle. $14.00 won’t break the bank

Cash is king and it’s vital keep a close eye on it as there’s plenty of businesses going bust not because they are unprofitable but because they run out of cash.
