Wine & Spirits - July 2007

WHITE
Icon Sauvignon Blanc 2005
New Zealand
$7

New Zealand’s Marlborough-based House of Nobilo’s Icon label indicates the grapes processed were the best from the best vines of that vintage. The 2005 Sauvignon Blanc has a taste of gooseberries, nettles and rich herbal characters complemented by ripe tropical fruit.

RED
Icon Pinot Noir 2005
New Zealand
$22

From the same House of Nobilo comes the Icon label 2005 Pinot Noir, a deep ruby with exotic lush aroma of blackberry, cherry and plum (imported by International Cellars, Gonzales, Calif.).

RUM
Rhum Barbancourt Estate Reserve
Haiti
$34

The best of Haitian rums, aged 15 years to produce a nice caramel color and oh-so-smoothly balanced taste.
