Nobilo, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc “Icon” 2009

($19, International Cellars):  This wine is a no-brainer.  Nobilo is one of Marlborough’s leading producers.  Their best wines are bottled under the Icon label.  And 2009 is a great year for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, according to David Strada, the US representative of New Zealand wine.  The wine combines engaging charm with unusual depth without losing any of the signature snappiness of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. 90 Michael Apstein Mar 16, 2010
