title: Saint Clair 2013 Pioneer Block 3 43 Degrees Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
description: The Pioneer Block series from Saint Clair remains a reference point for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This year, I had a slight preference for Block 3 from the low-lying Dillons Point subregion. It's grassy yet ripe, with flamboyant nectarine and gooseberry notes, plenty of weight and textural interest and a long, mouth coating finish.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Pioneer Block 3 43 Degrees Dillons Point
