The 2008 Clifford Bay Reserve Sauvignon Blanc has a subtle nose: freshly mown grass, apple with touches of lemon zest. Good definition. The palate has a crisp entry, zesty citrus fruit, fine definition with subtle tropical touches of passion fruit and white peach. Elegant finish and fine length. Excellent. Villa Maria continues to serve as the great ambassadors to New Zealand wine, appealing to both supermarket consumers and connoisseurs. Importer: Vineyard Brands Inc., Birmingham, AL; (205) 980-8802
