title: Villa Maria 2008 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
description: Over the years, Villa Maria has been working hard on upping the quality (and the price) of its entry-level Sauvignon Blanc. No longer a Best Buy candidate, the 2008 Private Bin is still a top value, offering slightly pungent, sweaty aromas but flavors of stone fruit accented by grassy-herbal notes. There's ample weight without heaviness and a zesty, fresh finish.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Private Bin
