Robert Parker
In true Sancerrois style, Clos Henri's Sauvignon Blanc reveals intense aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit, woven together by a beautiful minerality. More abounding and rounded than New Zealand Sauvignons generally are, with notes of boxwood and gooseberry. All the same, it retains the freshness of the sun-drenched, sea-breezy Wairau Valley. A very fine white wine!
