Spy Valley Envoy Johnson Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand 2016 Champagne Lanson Firm and prominent yet dustySpy Valleys top line in the sauvignon range, this has seen some oak and delivers a cool, restrained lime edge behind some gently nutty and toasty complexity. The palate has a composed, powerful and layered feel with peaches and hints of passion fruit and some creamy notes to close. 93 Pts James Suckling
