title: Villa Maria 2007 Clifford Bay Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
description: Nearly always one of New Zealand's top Sauvignons, this wine makes a big, bold statement. Aromas are herbal and leafy, with undertones of tomato and nettles, but buffered by gooseberries and minerality. It's rich and weighty on the palate, with a creamy texture that brings ripe stone fruit flavors to the fore. Long and mouthcoating on the finish.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Clifford Bay Reserve
