title: Villa Maria 2001 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
description: Fans of New Zealand's SBs will like this wine's racy nose, which is packed with minerals, some stoniness, melon, and a hint of grassiness. Citrus is in full force in the mouth, aided by a touch of green herbs and a white-pepper spice. The finish is elegant and offers hints of grapefruit. It's a youthful, fresh wine; one that will go well with salads or fish.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Private Bin
