90° at 7pm calls for more Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
.
Cloudy Bay was founded in 1985 by David Hohnen of Margaret River’s Cape Mentelle along with its first winemaker, Kevin Judd, who would go on to spend 25 years there before creating his own label, Greywacke. Judd is widely considered as the pioneer responsible for elevating New Zealand wine to its current status. Judd also happens to be one of the best wine photographers in the world (I highly recommend his ‘The Landscape of New Zealand Wine’).
.
According to Master of Wine Bob Campbell “the genesis for Greywacke Wild Sauvignon was Cloudy Bay Te Koko; a funky, barrel-fermented sauvignon blanc that bent all the rules when it was made in 1992 and initially sold only through the cellar door. Greywacke Wild Sauvignon is a blend from 10 different Marlborough vineyards which are machine-harvested at night. After pressing the juice is settled before being pumped into mostly old barrels and fermented using indigenous yeasts (about 15-20 different strains). The wine undergoes a partial malolactic fermentation and lees stirring.”
.
Incredible aromatics... an almost vibrant herbaceousness... red bell pepper, grapefruit zest, tangerine, apricot, and cucumber, with a silky smooth mouthfeel unlike most Sauvignon Blancs. Extraordinary. — 6 years ago

Great cherry/peppery nose, and a fairly well-rounded body, with smooth jammy-ness and a drier finish. Excellent value at $9.99 from the Trader Joe's in Campbell. — 8 years ago

Quite green on the nose with spice and blackberry. Full bodied, if not slightly rearward with the kind of tannins that stick the inside of your lips to your teeth. Smokey oaky. 94/100 by Campbell Mattinson. If you've been disappointed by its predecessors, give this vintage a go. — 8 years ago

From a VIP tasting with Dane Campbell at Zaca Mesa, 5 vintages of Bkack Bear, this was my clear favorite out of a stellar field. Perhaps the greatest domestic Syrah I've ever tasted. Sublime, softened tannin, still vervet and full of life. Fruit, umami, earth for days. So damned good! Still 5 years in it. Eric and Clay killed this one!! — 9 years ago

There’s a phrase used when training for an equitation competition “put your shoulder’s back” - this wine’s shoulders are definitely back. A whiff of brett, a subtle volatility that blows off after the first seconds of pouring, then a graceful integration of silky tannin. Edges of blood orange and balancing acidity keep the structure more linear. Sappy and high toned red fruit, but much more reserved and sultry than the Campbell Ranch vineyard. Also, while it’s most certainly not a “thing”, I’ll suggest it anyways, that fog line altitude lends the wine a cool, cloudy, and almost gloomy character. Towards the end, fully open and rested, a gorgeous milk chocolate and dried lavender note softens the whole nose. Wonderful! — 5 years ago

The fruit is still shining from this wine. The tannins had mellowed out and the texture was gorgeous. Perfect with grilled flank steaks. — 7 years ago

Really digging the scents of cherry, pie spice, and roses. Strangely similar to the potpourri pot on our powder room toilet, but that's where the similarities end and I'm truly enjoying this in a much different manner. Acids are in the forefront followed by some medium weight cherry/ripe strawberry pie spice. With time takes on enhanced complexities. Good stuff. — 8 years ago

Wow In a flight of chateau montelena and caymus 85s this drop kicked them out of the room. Hints of Brett but adds to the complexity of black olive, camphor, Dried fruits and herbs. Patrick Campbell made so many great wines and does not get enough credit this wine sings, bravo. — 8 years ago

Cantaloupe and lemon combine with Bosc pear and warm apples aromatically. Medium mouthfeel turns complex and heavier, exhibiting grilled lemon, tangerine pith, lemon toast, the taste of vanilla’s aroma, warm yellow apple and magnolia. #chardonnay #Soujourn #sonomachardonnay #sonoma #chard — 6 years ago

After an afternoon on the lake, we settled in for some pasta...and some Pinot. DFV seems to over deliver every time I pull a bottle. Beautifully textured, elegant and creamy raspberry and subtle earthiness. Fabulous blend from two distinct vineyards, Horseshoe Bend and Campbell Ranch. — 6 years ago

Freeman Vineyard & Winery is the fruition of a 20-year dream shared by Ken and Akiko Freeman to craft cool climate CA Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Aged for 11 months in French oak (22% new), with grapes from vineyards Rayhill (46%), Campbell (29%) & Yu-Ki Estate (25%). Aromas of berry fruit and exotic spices. On the palate blackberry and cherry with tobacco and tea spice, smooth tannins, well balanced on lingering finish ending with earthy tones. Will keep in cellar for some time. Small prod. 1000 cases. — 7 years ago

She snagged me unknowingly from behind spinning spices from both far and near barely dressed in burgundy satin and a slightly nasty soft silk which I feel, inhale, turning her my way, her eyes engage pulling me in close, then closer her lips on mine she drips then slowly touches, thoroughly seducing as her silk clings, clutches as her blueberry essence goes red - the music changes a note, then a riff, and then she dives her fingers gingerly wave reminding me to have another hit... — 8 years ago
