Mud House 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $15
A lush, tropical style of Sauvignon, combining peach and guava aromas with passion fruit flavors. This is delicious right now for its immediate fruit, ample weight and slightly creamy texture.

Mud House 2008 Swan Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $25
A sturdy, slightly chunky wine, the 2008 Swan Pinot Noir features ample black cherry and plum fruit, and complementary coffee-tinged oak. With its dark color and assertive flavors, it’s certainly trying hard. Drink now–2015.

Mud House 2008 Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $19
Mud House winemaker Nadine Worley has turned out an authoritatively flavored 2008 Pinot Noir, loaded with tart cherries and a hint of citrus zest. While this medium-bodied Pinot Noir could use greater doses of delicacy and nuance, it’s still a flavorful mouthful of wine. Drink it over the next few years.

Mud House 2007 Swan Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Sweaty and pungent, loaded with overtones of crushed tomato leaf, this is an assertively herbal wine that requires careful food pairing, or a healthy preference for that style. It’s not terribly weighty, but shows nice leafy complexity and a hint of curranty fruit. Try it with mussels steamed with lots of fresh herbs.

Mud House 2007 Swan Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $25
Sourced from the slightly warmer Bendigo subregion, this is a round, rather full-bodied Pinot Noir with dark fruit flavors and accents of smoke and cedar. It seems a bit woody in style, but may improve with short-term (1–2 years) cellaring.

Mud House 2010 The Mound Vineyard Riesling (Waipara)
- $22
Broad and off dry, this is bulky for Riesling, with weighty notes of honey and stone fruit. There’s a pleasant whiff of mossy stones and a hint of petrol, but also a hint of bitterness on the finish.

Mud House 2007 Pinot Noir (Central Otago)
- $20
This is made in a plump, cheerful style, combining simple, jammy cherry fruit with ample vanilla. It’s a well-made wine, but one that comes across as somewhat lacking in dimension. For an entry-level Pinot Noir, perhaps that’s all one can expect.
