Part of a new line of single-vineyard wines from New Zealand’s largest winery, this Rapaura-grown Sauvignon Blanc is herbal upfront, verging on peppery, but balances that component with flavors of underripe stone fruit and white grapefruit. It’s full-bodied and creamy without being heavy, finishing long and fresh despite the weight.——J.C.(5/1/2008)—— 90
