Wow. Burgundy on the nose but drinks like a fine aged Bordeaux. So many flavors. — 3 years ago
Strong cherry nose with bold undertones of wet hay, mud, manure and crushed granite or asphalt. Color of dark cherry, medium bodied, with a strong tannic palate that immediately dries the tongue and top of the mouth. Palette is sharp and prominent, with notes of brandy and dark cherry, pepper, sharp acidity, with a short finish with notes of dark chocolate, iron and bloody meat at the edges. — 5 months ago

Age has not slowed this wine down in 2025. Multifaceted. Almost too much going on. Doesn't know when to settle down. — 6 months ago
Dog Point Vineyard combines experience of Ivan and Margaret Sutherland & James and Wendy Healy. Ivan and James met while working at Cloudy Bay Vineyards. Light straw with typical SB aromas adding a touch of floral mineral notes. On the palate flavors of melon and grapefruit with citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty spice character. Exceptional wine! — 6 months ago

Very light colored wine, but dense in flavor. Mouth-coating cedar overlays the cherry, plum, and rose hip medley. A bit astringent. Maybe not the perfect pairing, but it works well with chicken piccata. Would be really nice with pork medallions.
