Boro Hills Marlborough 2008 Sauvignon Blanc - ~$10

A Sauvignon Blanc is not the most obvious mid-winter choice, even here in the ever-delightfully warm southwest, but I'd been meaning to try this Marlborough offering for some time.  Turns out it is the definition - one of the many, true - of a refreshing white, with bracing grapefruit astringency backed by some pineapple sweetness. 

It lacks the finesse of, say, a typical Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc, but it is easily in his ballpark.  Nice for the price, too.


Score

Drinkability: 8.5/10
Price: 4.5/5
Total value: 13/15
