Country: New Zealand / Marlborough
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Saint Clair / Pioneer Block 20 Cash Block
Among St. Clair’s 2009 range of block Savvies, this is among the sweatiest, with pungent nettle and almost-asparagus notes on the nose. Yet on the palate, the wine is full-bodied, round and concentrated, with nectarine and honey elements punched up by bright herbal tones. Long and intense on the finish. Drink now.
