Wither Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bottle $14.99     15% off mix 6 $12.74   20% off mix 12 $11.99

 

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points"For the price, this is remarkably concentrated, with ample weight and intense flavors. It's more subdued on the nose, offering just hints of stuck flint and grapefruit, but the citrusy flavors surge forward, culminating in a long, grapefruity finish. "

 

Clos Henri Petit Clos Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bottle $17.99     15% off mix 6 $15.29   20% off mix 12 $14.39

 

Wine Enthusiast 91 Points""A French-owned outpost in the South Pacific, Clos Henri seems to be finally coming of age. This entry-level offering delivers a hint of smoky, fumé character, but also plenty of ripe fruit, ranging from fig, melon and stone fruit to zestier notes of passion fruit. It's reasonably full-bodied, with an attractive, silky mouthfeel and a touch of gingery spice on the finish. " Editor's choice." Drink now to 2016.

 

St Clair Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bottle $19.99     15% off mix 6 $16.99   20% off mix 12 $15.99

Dogpoint Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

90 Points Decanter"Peppery, earthy aromas and green apple, kiwi fruit and passion fruit flavors. Refreshing acidity with a rounded mouthfeel in a well-proportioned wine. "

 

Cloudy Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bottle $34.99     15% off mix 6 $29.74   20% off mix 12 $27.99

 

Wine Spectator"The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc presents pleasantly intense notes of gooseberries, fresh grass and green apples with hints of capsicum and dill seed. Medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing on the palate thanks to plenty of vibrant citrus and vegetal flavors, it finishes long with some silkiness to the mouthfeel. Drink it now to 2016. "
