Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandA year of age in the bottle always helps this wine. The CBSB is intense and concentrated - think long hangtime. The nose is packed full of tropical notes lead by gooseberries and grapefruit lashed with jalapeno bits and lemon. The attack is as fresh and as full-bodied as sauvignon blanc gets with more grapefruit and kiwi with an undercurrent of stony/minerality and a chalky finish. One of the better Cloudy Bay bottles I have tasted since the inaugural 1985 vintage. Perfect for steamed west coast mussels.Tasted: 01 January 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
