Tasting notes
Hints of cut grass and green onion accent ripe tropical fruit on the nose of Cloudy Bay's 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. Intense guava and passion fruit flavors suffuse the medium-bodied palate, underscored by attractive notes of white grapefruit, but this vintage of a New Zealand classic comes across as slightly lacking in texture and length.

Cloudy Bay's Jim White assures us that 2019 was a great Marlborough vintage. All of 80 parcels of wine went into this ubiquitous blend. Pretty powerful nose with a little more nuance than some vintages I can remember. It has the sort of texture that makes me wonder whether some portions didn't see a little oak. I could drink this! Quite long. (JR)
Plenty of tropical fruit and a grassy edge, too. This has so much fruit character and delivers mangoes and limes in abundance on the palate. Drink now. Screw cap.
