Clos Henri Marlborough Single Vineyard 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, $25.49-$34.99, 93 points, was a light brass color with yellow/gold highlights.
Aromas of fresh-cut grass, gooseberry, faint dusty vanilla, a hint of grapefruit and pome blossom vibes were quite lovely.
As with many Kiwi SBs, this Clos Henri showed bright acidity flavors of citrus, but late palate and finish were intense lemon/lime with ginger and white pepper notes.
Alcohol content was a well-balanced 13.5%.
Paired perfectly with my baked haddock filet.
I've only spent this much money on a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc once before, but that wine couldn't hold a candle to this 2022 Clos Henri, and this was my highest scoring one at that.
