White Wine: Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc, 2011, New Zealand

92 Points – $23

This very light yellow crystal clear wine has a crisp nose of passion fruit, lychee and gooseberry.  A tart grapefruit and kiwi taste with a crisp finish. A very good wine. Don’t forget to chill this wine to get all the thrill! Little sister to the white wine served at the Royal Wedding.
