"2009 Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley
Many regard New Zealand's Marlborough region as the leading producer of quality Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough's 2009 season allowed late harvesting, which resulted in robust, ripe tropical flavors and intense fruit concentration. Known for the subtle flinty character it imparts on wines, Marlborough's Awatere Valley is the perfect birthplace for Clifford Bay's latest offering. Pale yellow in color, this wine conveys a bouquet of fresh mango and lemon zest. The palate is as tropical as Carmen Miranda's headdress, papayas and mangoes comingle with lemon grass and a touch of minerality in this lively, crisp, and beautifully-balanced treat."
