The superb 2000 Sauvignon Blanc Zieregg Reserve is a massively concentrated, opulent wine. It is lush, creamy, and armed with a wonderfully long finish. This medium-bodied offering provides waves of buttery oak and spiced pears. A couple of years of cellaring will be required for this wine to fully absorb its oak. Projected maturity: 2004-2014.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
