This wine is a fine example of what to expect from
Marlborough sauvignon blancs. Compared to Mondavi Woodbridge sauvignon blanc (from California),
the wine is more noticeably aromatic and has a brighter, fruitier and more acidic
taste than the Woodbridge wine, which is earthier and has a slight sulfur taste
(but still a very good wine for the money). Interestingly, the Starborough was
enhanced by a rigatoni in cream sauce – the creamy pasta draws out the finish
of the wine and makes each sip a long enjoyment.
Paid $12.99 at Kings Cellars in Brooklyn
P.S. The all green bottle, screw cap and starfish insignia
make this a nice bottle to bring to a summer party.
