Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

While its name doesn’t sound like an SB from NZ, it sure tastes like one. Pronounced passion fruit, a little green apple, and more lime than other Sauv Blancs. Refreshing and great value at TJs. — 4 days ago

Dog Point Vineyard

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Delectable Wine
9.3

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

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

Stony Hill

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2013

Pop and pour from MAG. A splendid light gold color. On the nose: apple, honeydew melon, banana, crushed stone, floral. Taste: still young at 11 years. Fresh, chalky, with depth and character. Notes of pear, nectarine, lemon & lime, and a white pepper minerally long lean finish. YUM! — 2 months ago

Brioche, lemon zest in this rich winner. A champs that could pair with a myriad of dishes.
2008 is a brilliant vintage.

The Fidelio Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Gorgeous nose of ripe apple, pear, spring flower blooms. Great mouthfeel with bursting flavors of peach, pear, passion fruit, apple, pineapple, and a bit of a tart lemon. Drinking fantastic here in 2024. — 8 months ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

Very nice but not quite at the same level as the one we had a couple years ago. Certainly extremely Bordeaux in terms of typicity. Paired with some La boite peppercorn blend crusted wagyu filets from Allen brothers. Definitely ready to go, opened with cork pop for 3.5 hours and decanted for 1. — 3 months ago

Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Delectable Wine
9.1

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
