The 2008 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc displays a light grassy nose, touches of nettle and white flowers. The palate is well balanced with lively green apple, touch of green lemon and good acidity, soft landing on the finish. A very well made commercial Savvy. 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
