Mount Nelson, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2012

($18, Wilson Daniels):  Ludovico Antinori, who with his brother Piero established Mount Nelson Winery in 2003, knows a thing or two about Sauvignon Blanc, having made an outstanding one at Ornellaia in Bolgheri for many years.  In addition to the typical, easily recognizable pungency and bite you’d expect from a Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region on the northern tip of New Zealand’s south island, the 2012 Mount Nelson has a subtle, but mouth-filling creaminess.  Coupling its quality with its price makes it very easy to recommend. 90 Michael Apstein Jun 10, 2014
