  Flagship white from this well regarded Marlborough producer. Key diff to the standard savvy is the use of a barrel ferment component and the inclusion of the ripest fruit of each vintage. Attractive nose, quite ripe yet shows nice herbal, green edged notes. A let down in the mouth; tight, a bit acidic, dry....not friendly. Feels very young and clearly has some structure to age (a plus I guess) but question mark over whether the fruit will last. I really miss the roundness, generosity and complexity evident in the the 2002.
