Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (750ML)

93 WS / 91 JS / 91 DE / 90 WE / 16.5 JR

Vibrant and expressive, with bold Key lime, passion fruit and tangerine flavors that are succulent and show off details of litsea, lemon verbena and makrut lime leaf, accented by a vibrant thread of acidity. Drink now. 65,000 cases imported. - Wine Spectator

Plenty of tropical fruit and a grassy edge, too. This has so much fruit character and delivers mangoes and limes in abundance on the palate. Drink now. Screw cap. - James Suckling

It might not have been the first Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but it was the one that put the style on the map – and its popularity is still as strong as ever, 35 years on. It comes at a price but the quality is reliably consistent, packed with quintessential flavours of ripe passion fruit, zesty grapefruit, fresh gooseberry and grassy, herbal tones. - Decanter

This vintage of Marlborough's most famous label is a balanced, refreshing drop. Bright aromas of grapefruit, peaches n' cream, lemongrass and tomato leaf lead to a palate that crunches with acidity while also being slippery and juicy-fruited. A summer sipper with or without food.  - Wine Enthusiast

Cloudy Bay's Jim White assures us that 2019 was a great Marlborough vintage. All of 80 parcels of wine went into this ubiquitous blend. Pretty powerful nose with a little more nuance than some vintages I can remember. It has the sort of texture that makes me wonder whether some portions didn't see a little oak. I could drink this! Quite long. - Jancis Robinson
