“Tangerine, mango and citrus flavors are pure and focused, smooth, round and wonderfully refreshing, with peach, Key lime pie, mineral and floral elements that really take off on the finish.”

“The region’s flagbearer is in top form with this vintage. Intense tropical notes, passionfruit, gooseberries and a whiff of herbal tones. Punchy acidity with a broad finish.
Kia Ora, Air NZ inflight Magazine, Bob Campbell MW, November 2010
“The French have a saying: ‘Forget the vintage, never mind where the grapes have been grown, it’s the winemaker who ultimately makes the difference.’ ... Cloudy Bay has led the way for so long that it’s in danger of being taken for granted. Trust me, this quality-focused producer still leads the pack. This is an absolutely stunning wine.”
New Zealand Herald Viva, Jo Burzynska, November 2010
“Marlborough sauvignon managed to show a distinctive style from day one and Cloudy Bay’s 25th release of this iconic wine is a fine example. It manages to be both powerful and elegant, weaving classic notes of blackcurrant, herb and zesty lime around its tight river stone core.”
