Oyster Bay 2004 Sauvignon Blanc awarded 90 Points

James Halliday, Australia's most acclaimed wine writer and judge is described by Bob Campbell, Master of Wine as one of the six most influential wine people in the world today. Writing for the Weekend Australian, James Halliday awarded Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 90 points.

His comments: "The 2004 Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand (90 points $19) is a harbinger of much more to come from this region and may cause nervousness among Australian sauvignon winemakers who charge rather more for their wines. It has fragrant crystal-clear passionfruit and lemon blossom aromas, delicate but intense fruit flavours and excellent overall balance. It's not a wine to ponder on but to gulp down with say gourmet fish and chips or anything else marine."
