Paradoxically, the 2017 Single Vineyard Southern Clays Sauvignon Blanc is the most restrained and the most powerful of the 2017 Sauvignon Blancs from Villa Maria. Subtle herbal hints add interest to notes of stone fruit, fig and passion fruit, while there's a creaminess to the mid-palate that imparts an extra layer of depth to this medium-bodied wine. It's mouth-filling and ripe, with a long, subtle finish.
