Sauvignon Blanc from Martinborough, New Zealand: Craggy Range Winery Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Craggy Range Winery Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Pale greenish straw in color. Rich aromatics of fresh lime juice, elderflower, lemongrass, grilled citrus and ripe nectarine. Complex and intriguing. The palate is concentrated and dense, yet retains remarkable linearity and focus. Zesty citrus, stone fruit, herb and floral flavors fill the mouth, a fine chalky mineral texture tightens and focuses the finish. The wine finishes long and powerful, crisp, clean and dry.
