($31, Moët Hennessey USA): You might think that Cloudy Bay would rest on its laurels given their tremendous reputation at producing exemplary Sauvignon Blanc. But they haven’t. They’ve actually increased the quality of their all ready terrific Sauvignon Blanc as the vines age and they gain even more experience with their vineyards. The 2011 has great depth and length that complements the energy and verve of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It remains a benchmark for the varietal in New Zealand. 93 Michael Apstein Feb 14, 2012
