Crushed stone and bruised tomato leaves mark the nose of the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Wairau Reserve, which this year comes from the same vineyard as the Pioneer Block 3 bottling. This offering is perhaps a bit riper and less herbaceous, with flavors of white currants and grapefruit on the medium-bodied palate. There's a bit of silkiness to the texture, and it has a long, focused finish.
