($26): Cloudy Bay put New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc on the world’s wine map in the late 1980s.  They have not rested on their laurels.  They continue to be a benchmark for that varietal.  Along with the bright edginess and bite we’ve come to associate with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Cloudy Bay’s version has an appealing weight and the barest whiff of creaminess that adds an extra dimension and fills out the wine.  Try it tonight with grilled swordfish.
