Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Private Bin 2004 |

Wine Spectator 87 points. About $13. Polished style, light and pretty with citrus and tropical fruit notes that ride nicely over the top. Distinctively Marlborough, bursting with passionfruit, ripe gooseberry and hints of herbaceous nuances. A well balanced and a freshly invigorating palate with a crisp and zesty finish. |

| |
Wine Spectator 90 points. About $15. Ripe in flavor, elegant in structure, lots of oak but it pulls itself into balance with juicy nectarine, pear and lime flavors that persist on the lively finish. Drink now through 2007.
