92 POINTS and a "SMART BUY" from the Wine Spectator: "A brilliant burst of lime, grapefruit and green apple rides easily on a racy, acidity-fueled texture, persisting into the long, vibrant finish with hints of wet stone and citrus peel. Drink now. 20,000 cases made." (04/09) The 2008 Nobilo "Icon" Sauvignon Blanc is made from fruit sourced from both the Awatere and Wairau valleys in Marlborough. They also use a variety of canopy systems to provide a complex set of flavors and aromas to arrive at the final blend.The bouquet is lifted with pure, crystal clear notes of mineral, grapefruit, lime blossom, passion fruit and notes of grass and red bell pepper. On the palate, the wine has wonderful mid-palate richness and weight with great supporting acidity that ties the layers of flavors together with a long juicy vibrant finish in a package that has impeccable balance.
