Cloudy Bay has stormed back to the top of the New Zealand Sauv Blanc ranks with a 4th consecutive outstanding vintage. Focused and pure. "Intensely scented of gooseberries, elderflower and fresh lemon with hints of white asparagus and sage. Medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with vibrant vegetal and citrus notes held up by a lively acid backbone and good long finish." WA 90

Wow, 2014, this stuffed is really churned out quickly...

Crisp and clean fruit palate. Very linear, nothing is intermixed our clouted. Structured and focused. Full bodied and completely opposite of the new fangled California SB's. Under $40 too!

I would have rated #cloudybay #sauvignonblanc #nzwine #nzwines higher because it's truly enjoyable, if it weren't for the price. Here in Spain it's 29€ that's #bonkers also I think it's one of those #wines where it's so intense, it's kind of difficult to pair

Green onion and celery! Super aromatic, floral, tangy, spicy, with sharper and drier finish than Duckhorn and Chalk Hill SB. #newzealand #marlborough #sauvignonblanc

Jalepeno and cut green grass. M+ intensity and acid. A long lingering finish. Love it!

classic marlborough sauv blanc, tropical fruits and jalapeno are incredibly bold

Cloudy bay is the symbol of NZ SB, and it is delivering consistent quality and a good example of what NZ has to offer in terms of SB, but it lacks character and spirit that one would hope to get from such an iconic wine. A straw color, a lovely fruity nose, with a nice assemblage of tropical fruits, pineapple, kiwi, a touch of citrus and minerals, medium body with crisp acidity, a pleasant finish, less successful than the 2013, but still of nice solid quality. My score 87, drink to 2017
