This 2021 Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is richly aromatic with notable purity of fruit: black currant, nectarine, tropical fruit and citrus. It offers concentration and a ripe, succulent mid-palate. The acidity provides length on the zesty, passionfruit-infused structured finish. $23.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, March 2022)

The 2021 Sauvignon from Greywacke is classic yet classy. It is richly aromatic yet not flamboyant, with good purity of fruit: expect flavors of black currant and nectarine alongside subtle tropical fruit and citrus. Due to a naturally low-yielding season, it offers impressive concentration and a ripe, succulent midpalate. The fine, mouthwatering acidity provides length and line on the zesty, passionfruit-infused, lightly structured finish. Delightful in youth, but it will evolve and provide a different Sauvignon experience in five to seven years. (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, March 2022)

Lots of acid. Jalapeño and green pepper. Some wax. Hint of underripe pineapple. Food friendly. Bitter finish.
