What the heck is going on here?

I went to one of our PA State stores where they offer more wines than the usual allowed by our silly (stupid) PA laws and bought a bottle of Kim Crawford Marlborough sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. It was on sale from ~$19 to ~$13 and the sign next to it said that it scored 91 points somewhere (whatever that means). Plus, the Asylum's own AOK_Farmer recommended NZ sauv. blanc to me some weeks ago.

I was shocked when I got it home and went to cut the foil off to get out the cork. There was NO cork! This was a screw-top bottle - for $13!! What the...?

Then I tasted it - WOW! This was a nice - really nice wine: complex and fruity with a lot going on in the glass and the nose. All this in what was, I assume, supposed to be a cheap bottle.

Do any of you know this wine? I would appreciate your comments, please.
