Cloudy Bay 2009 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $35
Although CB made its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc, the Pinot Noir is finally achieving a similar level of quality. Dark cherry fruit is couched in notes of sandalwood, cinnamon and clove, framed by tannins that are silky without being excessively soft. Drink now–2016.

Cloudy Bay 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $25
This is the highest this benchmark wine has ever scored with our tasters, from what is beginning to look like an excellent year for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It’s still in an early estery phase right now, marked by honeyed tropical fruits, nectarines and grapefruit, but you can sense the herbal-jalapeño flavors lurking in the background. Rich and powerful on the…

Cloudy Bay 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $27
Marlborough’s standard-bearer continues to turn out vintage after vintage of worthy wines. CB’s 2006 Sauvignon is marginally less rich than the 2005, but still offers plenty of crisp, tangy tropical flavors. Pineapple and grapefruit notes finish with a grassy edge.

Cloudy Bay 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
The wine that made Marlborough famous continues to impress, vintage after vintage. Ripe gooseberries and a hint of grapefruit flow through the broad midpalate into a long, lime-tinged finish. Rich enough to pair with sauced fish dishes, yet bright enough to go with simpler preparations as well. Editors’ Choice.

Cloudy Bay 2002 Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $35
Championed by former winemaker James Healy, Te Koko is an attempt to take Marlborough Sauvignon in a very different stylistic direction. Barrel fermented with indigenous yeasts, it offers sweaty-musky scents intermingled with honey, melon and quince. Rich and oily, it coats the palate with slightly nutty flavors. This is unique stuff, well worth trying.

Cloudy Bay 2005 Chardonnay (Marlborough)
- $30
Cloudy Bay has been remarkably consistent over the years, and is no exception, offering up aromas of toasted grain and a hint of butter to marry with citrus and custard notes. It’s toasty throughout, but layered with varied fruit and a rich, velvety texture. Drink now.
