Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Marlborough, New Zealand

Suggested Retail: $22, We Bought a Bunch: $18.99

2011 was a tough year in New Zealand, this is one of the few exceptional wines made!

What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Complex on the nose and richly textured in the mouth, this wine delivers it all. Hints of struck flint and wild onion accent grapefruit aromas, while the flavors range easily from pink grapefruit and red currant to delicate herb shadings. It’s full without being too full, with a potent yet refreshing finish that seemingly lingers forever. Editors’ Choice. — J.C.

What We Thought: Classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc filled with crisp, grassy, gooseberry and grapefruit and a strong undercurrent of flinty minerality. Very refreshing... got shellfish?
