James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2022)

Nettles, thyme, green apples and grapefruit on the nose. Medium-bodied, sharp and clean cut with a refreshing core of citrus and green fruit. Vivid. From organically grown grapes.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 92 Points (2021)

Intriguing and aromatic, this has a singed note to the up-front peach, honeysuckle and jasmine flavors, but the lush core is pure melon, apricot and lemon curd on a fleshy frame. Finishes with candied ginger, marmalade and spice, with fresh vibrant acidity.

Robert Parker (RP) : 91 Points (2020)

Dog Point's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc boasts explosively pungent scents of boxwood, passion fruit and grapefruit. A bit more sedate on the medium-bodied palate, the flavors skew more toward pineapple and grapefruit with touches of fig and nectarine. This shows ample concentration, a silky mouthfeel, bright citrusy flavors and good length. In sum, it's a fine example of classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 92 Points (2019)

Lovely weight on the midpalate, providing a feeling of sumptuousness. This was whole-bunch-pressed and hand-harvested, and neutral yeast was used (20% wild), which has created an air of restraint. Yes, there are classic passion fruit and gooseberry flavors, but the volume is turned down, and a citrus backbone offers a fresh, composed conclusion. Drinking window: 2020 - 2025

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2019)

There's a touch of salty reduction when this is first opened, but it quickly reveals aromas of citrus, peach, snow pea and white spice. The palate is slippery, with bright acidity and a crunch of snow pea and citrus freshness. It's a balanced example of a highly maritime influenced wine.

Bob Campbell MW (BC) : 95 Points (2018)

Intense, ripe Sauvignon Blanc with tree fruit, nectarine, red capsicum and guava flavours. A rich, gently tangy and deliciously accessible wine that stood out from the crowd in a tasting of 2018 wines. (5/2018)

Jancis Robinson (JR) : 16.5 Points (2017)

Very intense nose with massive extract and intensity. No sign of any 2017 problems here. Very Sancerre-like. Clean, fresh and super-refreshing. Very superior and unlike the Marlborough mainstream.
