2007 Seresin Reserve Sauvignon Blanc add to summary
90 points. The compelling 2007 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from selected parcels in the Home Vineyard, cropped at 5 tons/ha, fermented using wild yeasts only with 50% barrel ferment. Introspective at first on the nose with subtle notes of gooseberry, freshly tilled earth and a touch of dried apricot, the palate is wily and feminine with good acidity, hints of dried apricot once more with an apple and lime-infused finish. A great Sauvignon Blanc.

Cinematographer Michael Seresin does not own Harry Potter’s magic wand to make great Marlborough wine, but he does have the second best thing in the form of estate manager Colin Ross, an Australian who makes Nicolas Joly look a lightweight biodynamist. Having purchased his first 167-acre parcel of vines in the Wairau in 1992 that constitutes the “Home Vineyard,” Seresin’s wines debuted with the 1996 vintage; since then he has purchased the “Raupo Creek Vineyard” in Omaka, which is undergoing organic conversion and the “Tatou Vineyard” at the western end of the Wairau Valley. All fruit is sourced from these parcels, hand-picked and sorted before being whole-bunch pressed with young English-born winemaker Clive Dougall in charge of the winemaking. Seresin is certainly a name to look out for, producing some wonderful, complex, natural wines.

2007 Seresin Reserve Sauvignon Blanc add to summary
91 points. Fermented with wild yeasts and 50% aged in French oak) Pale color. Pungent aromas of citrus peel, violet, crushed stone, minerals and spices. Brisk yet quite ripe, with a captivating sweetness to the peppery sauvignon flavors. Thicker and more layered than the regular bottling but at the same time more perfumed in the mouth and on the long aftertaste. I would not be surprised if this showed even more complexity with a couple years in bottle
