Fresh and zippy, this is one 2005 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that held onto the variety’s typical racy edge. If you’re one of those consumers who frown on the round, ripe flavors achieved by some in 2005, this is one to seek out. Brisk passion fruit, grapefruit and herb flavors finish crisp and clean. ——J.C.(12/15/2006)—— 88
