at first glance, this appears to be a well-made but fairly innocuous marlborough sauvignon. but give it a little more time in bottle, or air in the glass, and it fills out, gaining length and complexity. pineapple and stone fruit aromas and flavors are appealing from the start, but the quality shines through on the long, vibrant finish that's filled with suggestions of nectarine and wet stone.
