Big and ripe, the 2015 Single Vineyard The Alias Sauvignon Blanc is a full-bodied, round wine that delivers plenty of flavor and texture. Hints of smoke and struck flint accent melon and fig notes, all carried along on a creamy joyride into a long, pink-grapefruit finish. Yes, it spent 15 months in barrel, but it's not oaky, just rich, layered and complex. One of the best New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs I've ever tasted.
