2008 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
This is clean and vibrant, with scents of lemon, fresh–cut apple and an earthier, bitter melon note. It finishes dry, with a hint of lemon–butter richness for roast fish.

2007 Maipo Valley Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
Morandé’s Chena Vineyard, on the north bank of the Maipo River, marked this wine with clear scents of mint and flavors of sour cherries. There’s some heat on the palate, along with firm tannins that project into the finish. While those tannins are youthful, the wine feels balanced enough for a quail stew.
