Dog Point Vineyard, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2013

($26, Vintus): The pleasant pungency and palate awaking electricity clearly defines the origin of Dog Point’s Sauvignon Blanc.  But what puts it a cut above many Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a subtle richness and great length.  The result is a lively wine — that’s not shrill — with depth and an appealing subtly creamy texture.  This is a great example of why Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc continues to take the world by storm.
