Villa Maria Estate Cellar Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2014, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc that shows the extra richness and layering of about four months aging on the lees. Still, there's no oak here, just stainless steel to preserve fruit purity. The Autri Valley where the fruit is grown for this wine is cooler on average than other regions in New Zealand. This Sauvignon has more intensity and more seriousness in both flavour and weight. You can almost sense the vibrancy of New Zealand light in the glass with this wine. Enjoy with salads and vegetarian dishes, sushi or dishes with fresh herbs. Drink: 2014-2017. 974527 13% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 93/100. June 27, 2015 Top Rated White Wine.

Aromas of dark fleshy fruit and smoke. Perfect for smoked and grilled meats and a variety of Spanish tapas. Drink: 2015-2018. 400267 14% D 750 mL  $17.85 Score: 89/100.
