2005 NZ SB

[Bucko]

2005 Villa Maria, Sauvignon Blanc, Cellar Selection, Marlborough, New Zealand, $16. A definite step up from their Private Bin offering, the nose is an inviting mix of gooseberries and exotic tropicals. Gooseberries, herbs, and limes dominate the palate, with tangy acidity giving lift to the wine. Classic NZ SB; 90/90.
