93 Points - #7 Top 100 of 2012 -Wine Enthusiast Magazine EDITORS' CHOICE - Complex on the nose and richly textured in the mouth, this wine delivers it all. Hints of struck flint and wild onion accent grapefruit aromas, while the flavors range easily from pink grapefruit and red currant to delicate herb shadings. It's full with¬out being too full, with a potent yet refreshing finish that seemingly lingers forever. "

Twenty five years after establishing the vineyards that created the juggernaut that was Cloudy Bay in the 90's, Ivan Sutherland and James Healy now quietly go about the business of taking Marlborough winegrowing to the next level. The 2011 sauvignon blanc is a wine of great finesse. Poised, complex, and supremely well-balanced, it combines New World purity of flavor and Old-World minerality. It is a spectacular value.
