winemaker's notes:

The 2011 Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc is a straw green color, with a fresh, intensely concentrated aromas of tropical fruits infused with ripe citrus notes, complemented by lifted hints of lemongrass and passionfruit. It has a fine texture and acidity, with a degree of minerality and a lasting, refreshingly crisp finish on the palate. This wine is a perfect match with white meats, pale cheeses and seafood (especially oysters and scallops).

alcohol by volume: 13.5%

critical acclaim:

"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 without being too full, with a potent yet refreshing finish that seemingly lingers forever."

Wine Enthusiast

"The 2011 Sauvignon Blanc gives notes of pink grapefruit, apples and orange blossoms with suggestions of sulphides and ginger. The medium-bodied palate lends a pleasant touch of silkiness to the texture, with crisp acid supporting the elegant fruit, and finishing long."

I liked the way this wine tasted but I had a hard time with the bouquet. I put me off with every sip. It was a mix of old barrel and gym socks. I thought maybe it was my sinuses to blame as the seasonal allergies were kicking in, but I went back later to check it out again after my nose calmed down and it smelled just as bad to me. A pity for a good tasting wine.

Nice green notes, fairly balanced. Pleasant going down, very drinkable & no complaints, just not outstanding.

Enough difference and quality to make it a welcome change from all the other Marlborough SBlancs we've had. And we've had a lot.

I did not enjoy this wine. I paired it with turkey. The grapefruit aroma is too strong, and of course it's the dominant flavor in the wine. If you like grapefruit, you should try this one.

I am just getting reacquainted with whites and this one was a good one to get started with! Floral and fruity aroma (I don't know where the other reviewer got 'earth'). Dry, not too dry and just the right amount of sweet. Strong pear aroma. I think this would go great with a fruit and cheese plate and I think it would be awesome with blue cheese and pears!

A lot of life. Complex and interesting Surprising nose, a little stinky you can definitely smell the earth. I agree with Wine Enthusiast that it is full but not too big. As a cocktail it fills the palate, think it would colide a little with spice. It paired nicely in terms of weight with grilled chicken. Would not think I would go that well with with Oysters, something ligher and more acidic. Finish is strong but welcomed.

Style:Rich & Creamy
