2008 Dog Point Marlborough 'Section 94' Sauvignon Blanc

93/100 from Bob Campbell. With years of experience making the Cloudy Bay 'Te Koko' sauvignon blanc, James Healy has emulated this famous label. 18 months extended lees ageing in old French barrels has produced a wine showing considerable texture and exotic flavour. "Dog Point's "off the mainstream" Sauvignon Blanc is oak-fermented using wild yeasts before being bottled with a cork (Sauvignon Blanc with a cork is like a car driving on its emergency spare wheel - an accident waiting to happen). This is seriously delicious wine with lovely minerality, an appropriate tease of classy oak and pure, focused fruit flavour from a vintage that often did not deliver the goods. Terrific wine with controlled funk and pleasing complexity." 93/100 Bob Campbell
