2007 Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc Pioneer Block 3 Forty-Three Degrees Marlborough

Pale color. Fascinating, highly perfumed nose combines lime skin, capsicum, chlorophyll, dill and crushed stone. Dense, dry and aromatic, with compelling precision and intensity to the clean flavors of green melon, lime and pepper. Wonderfully incisive wine with a sexy sweetness and strong framing acidity. Finishes very long and soil-inflected, with pronounced saline and dusty mineral notes. Impressive.
