Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2019




Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2019 (SKU304469, WS93, $39.09 tax included)
I went by the LDB store to look for a wine to bring to a friend's dinner. I saw this offering at the 39th & Cambie store and recalled that Cloudy Bay was one of the top producer of Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand. Further research showed that the 2019 vintage was rated at 93 points by Wine Spectator. I bought the last one on the shelf and brought it to the dinner to pair with some seafood. Upon opening, everyone present was impressed with the very fruity nose. Some of the guest tasted passion fruit while I tasted some citrus fruits. They body was full and the finish was long. Wine Spectator indicated that it was ready for consumption now. It was a bit pricy but you would be drinking the top Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It is now one sale until July 4, 2020. LDB website shows there is ample stock around the various stores including the 39th & Cambie one.
