Villa Maria's 1999 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve Clifford Bay offers subdued honeydew melon aromas. This powerful, concentrated, rich, and medium to full-bodied wine has a complex, silky-textured character crammed with pineapples, melon, gooseberry, and passion fruit. It is intensely rich and extroverted, yet possesses a gustatory refinement rarely found in Sauvignon Blancs as flavorful as this one. Drink it over the next year or two.
