Dog Point Vineyard

Marlborough Pinot Noir 2012

Big, generous and smokey. Slightly hot on the finish and not as complex or beguiling as I like in a Pinot. Pinot for the Barossa Shiraz lover. — 9 years ago

Great for the price point!

Craggy Range

Te Muna Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2013

NZ Sauvignon Blanc - but not what you expect. Plump peach rather than direct grassy notes, dry good acidity, with the fuller fruity notes to the fore backed up by herby lime. Big, juicy and great with local fish in a citrus, buttery sauce. — 10 years ago

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Pale straw glass. Complex big nose of honeysuckle, white peach, grapefruit, passion fruit, mango, guava, limes, lemon, pear and honeydew. Crisp strong acid with medium body brings lime, grapefruit, green apple and sour lemon. Long finish of citrus pith and white pepper. Good value at $13.99 as a sipper or fish/light dish friend. — 8 years ago

The High Note Pinot Noir

I'm not usually a big fan of Pinots, but this one was very good - a little fuller and more flavorful than some, with a nice spice. Had it with catfish over a spicy rice/ginger/collard green mixture, with a Meyer lemon glaze. — 8 years ago

Fernlands

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Quite excellent wine for a very small price. This wine exhibits a big gooseberry New Zealand nose with grapefruit and pineapple coming after the gooseberry. It has a sweet attack and it's very ripe and round. Best of all, the acidity is not overwhelming. — 10 years ago
