Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Private Bin 2012

2010: 88 Points - Steve Tanzer, International Wine Cellars: "Precise, perfumed aromas of lemon, lime, gooseberry, pepper and spices. Sweet, round and generous, with fruit-driven flavors of pink grapefruit, lemon and pepper. A rather easygoing style of sauvignon, especially for such a young example, but rich and stuffed with fruit."

2010: - Tom Lewis, Cambridge Wine Blogger: "Intense nose of gooseberry, passionfruit and a distinct hint of Galia melon skin. The palate has all the up-front herbaceous, nettley aromas I have come to expect with melon, citrus and lots of mouthwateringly ripe, juicy, tropical fruit acidity. The finish shows a balance of acidity, residual sweetness and minerality… clean, well-made, approachable and familiar and, if you're new to kiwi Sauvignon, this is as good a place as any to start."
