Firstland 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
Here’s an extraordinarily fragrant and flavorful wine, as lush as a late-harvest, yet dryish. It has amazing extraction, like a fruit cocktail, a mixture of grapefruit, apple, tangerine, even melon. There’s a little residual sugar in it, just enough to offset high acidity.
