An Overview of Crown Range Cellar from New Zealand

Grant P Taylor 2015 Pinot Noir Central Otago: This is brilliant Kiwi Pinot Noir. Stuffed with ripe boysenberries and tart cranberries, it runs through the full range of red and black fruits from the time you crack the capsule until you pour the last dribble.

Hit & Miss: Steininger 2010 Sauvignon Blanc with Pickles & Seaweed Salad

The pickles’ vinegar notes mimic the wine’s acidic punch while the garlic and savory spices harmonize with the wine’s mineral undertones. Best of all, the jalapeño flavor in the pickles echos the hints of green bell pepper in the wine.
