Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Ripe citrus and tropical fruits underpinned by a degree of minerality and a hint of basil. Fresh, concentrated and full bodied showing excellent balance between fruit and acidity. Match with white meats, pale cheeses and seafood - especially scallops and oysters.
Ideally enjoyed as a young wine but may be cellared for several years.
- 5 star. 94/100 (2009 Vintage) Strongly
aromatic wine with pungent passion fruit, green capsicum and lemon grass
flavours. The wine is dry but achieves good tension between alcohol
sweetness and juicy acidity. Concentrated Sauvignon Blanc that captures
the best features of the regional style. www.bobswinereviews.com (Mar 2010)
