95/100 | James Suckling
Hailing from one of Marlborough's most respected producers, the Dog Point Section 94 is a masterclass in the potential of aged sauvignon blanc. Vinted from organic, vineyard fruit, this complex and textural sauvignon offers ripe aromas of citrus, pear and quince perfectly balanced with a leesy quality on the palate. This beautiful wine is another stand out release. Highly recommended.

The winery writes "Section 94 is widely regarded as the most distinctive and greatest Sauvignon Blanc made in New Zealand today. James Healy and Ivan Sutherland were among the first to begin fermenting their Sauvignon in barrel with wild yeasts,
a technique that along with the old vines from which they source, leads to a full-bodied wine that is less fruit-forward,
more exotic, with immense textural complexity."
Wine Spectator writes "Stunning, with a complex, aromatic mix of beeswax, litsea oil, vetiver and honeysuckle notes up front, followed by ripe peach, melon and lemon curd flavors at the juicy core. Reveals whiffs of grilled lemon and smoke that swirl around the flavors, as well as a hint of crushed rock minerality on a supple, seamless frame. Gains momentum on the epic finish."
