Oyster Bay
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Pale yellow in color, with a very stone fruit-forward aroma. Strong notes of tropical fruit to the taste, suggesting pineapple and passion fruit. I enjoy that there are no oak notes in this. — 8 months ago
Château Tour de Mirambeau
Cuvée Passion Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
Another stranded loose bottle but very nice! Very mature indeed but not over the hill, with the enticing route black fruited nose, smoothness on palate and good finish. Pleasantly Surprised. — 5 months ago
Babich Wines
Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Black Label is a well-judged style. It is nicely textured with decent substance through its bright, firm core. Attractive gooseberry, elderflower and passion fruit flavors combine well. Five months on lees rounds out its edges and lends flesh to the light-bodied palate. $16.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, May 2024) — 6 months ago

Allan Scott
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Normally I’m wary of NZ Sauv Blancs; the typical punch-you-in-the-face-with-grapefruit-and-grass style had never really been to my taste. But this one is very interesting, with lemon and grapefruit, tart tropicals like passion fruit and pomegranate, a little pineapple and lychee, and accented with hints of ginger, gardenia, and that trademark grassiness on the nose. Riper fruits peach and mango show up as it warms up such as. The palate has some mellow citrus with lemon and grapefruit, white peach, a touch of lemongrass and ginger on the nose with a medium long finish. Very very good, interesting Sauv Blanc and white wine in general, yet relaxed and refreshing enough to pair with food (like green salad, oysters, and dishes with citrus-led sauces). — 3 years ago

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is light in body but dense in concentration because of low yields. It's almost silvery in color and restrained due to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit, passion fruit and nectarine, all delivered with focus and punch. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. $23.00 (Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, July 2024) — 4 months ago
