WINE OF THE WEEK 06 19 07

Wine of the Week

By Brenda Maitland

2006 Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, New Zealand
$9-$12 Retail
The Nobilo family, whose wine history dates back 300 years, migrated from Croatia to New Zealand in the 1940s. Expressing the varietal character of classic Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the Nobilo offers a medium-bodied, racy and refreshing style. Intense aromas of tropical fruit, citrus and grassy notes jump out of the glass. In the mouth, luscious ripe grapefruit with undertones of papaya and passion fruit dazzle the palate with hints of pear, lime, savory herbs and a zingy, balanced acidity. Good with seafood, asparagus, artichoke, light meats, pasta and rice dishes and mild cheese. Where to buy it: The Wine Seller, Whole Foods Market Uptown, most Sav-A-Center locations, DorignacÕs, LangensteinÕs in Metairie and Breaux Mart on Severn. Where to drink it: LolaÕs, MandinaÕs, Sun Ray Grill and DeanieÕs. (Listings current at press time.)
