This Marlborough classic remains on form, artfully blending pineapple and crushed tomato leaf notes. If it’s a bit leaner than some examples from the region, it’s also more elegant and refined; less explosive and flamboyant, but tighter and more focused. |

| The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc offers intense notes of gooseberries, passion fruit, grapefruit zest and grass with a hint of fresh herbs. Crisp, dry and medium bodied with a good concentration of grapefruit and herb flavors, it gives a long tropical fruit laced finish. Delicious now, it should remain fresh through 2013. —Lisa Perrotti-Brown, |

Focused and pure, offering a tangy expression of balanced lemon, white peach, tangerine, passion fruit, melon and green tea notes. This is powerful in its persistence and juiciness, yet maintains an air of elegance. Drink now. 30,000 cases imported. |
| Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2010 has fresh acidity and displays a lovely spectrum of Sauvignon Blanc flavours and aromas. Zingy lime / grapefruit citrus, ripe tropical characters and delicate floral / herbal notes meld on the nose and palate. A small portion of barrel ferment adds weight and texture to the wine, nicely balanced by a mineral acid backbone. It is a wine of vibrant intensity and elegance .... and thoroughly refreshing. |
