Cloudy Bay, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2011

($25, Moët Hennessey USA):  Cloudy Bay catapulted New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the world’s wine map about 25 years ago.  As a leading producer, some might think they could rest on their laurels.  But they haven’t.  Their latest release, the 2011, has the trademark vibrancy and zestiness of Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region, but also has mouth-filling texture and length that sets it apart.  A snappy wine, yes, but one with class and complexity. 91 Michael Apstein Nov 29, 2011
