Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Wine Spectator : 94 Points

(7/11/2024) Lush and expressive, with plenty of concentration to the mix of mango, lemon curd and litsea oil flavors. Details of dried pineapple, candied ginger and crystalized orange zest add complexity and aromatics on the long finish. Drink now.

James Suckling : 92 Points

(10/25/2023) Clean and crisp with grapefruit, green melon and lemon character. Hints of stones. Medium body. Lovely acidity and a delicious finish. Some phenolic tension here. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.

Vinous - Rebecca Gibb MW : 93 Points

(4/2024) Initially the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc needs a few moments to get itself together - much like we all do after waking up from our slumber. It wears a rather reductive overcoat, but under that flintiness you find concentrated, pure fruit flavors. It's light in body but dense in concentration thanks to low yields, displaying both focus and punch. It's almost silvery in color and restrained thanks to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit and passion fruit flavors alongside a hint of nectarine. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2028.
