Considered as one of the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. A barrel-fermented, no holds-barred style of Sauvignon Blanc with a signature flinty gravel aroma. This single vineyard parcel is situated within the Dog Point Vineyard, using the same low cropping level from vines planted in 1992. Fruit is hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented and aged in older French oak barrels for 18 months.
Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2020 - Re-Release
Pale straw in colour. Cold smoke and flinty gravels lead into a subdued nose of ripe grapefruit, pears, cloves and honeydew melon. A focussed and linear backbone of acidity carries ripe citrus notes and subtle smoky complex characters. Extended elevage on lees has imparted hallmark cashew and mealy flavours and chalky textures.

Reviews for Dog Point Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc 2020 - Re-Release:
JamesSuckling.com
Layers of crushed stones, smoked almonds, green apples, lemon pith, white pepper, licorice and oyster shells. It's so powerful and concentrated. Tightly wound and phenolic with a medium body and sharp acidity. Intense, and just keeps going. Always a sophisticated and complex sauvignon blanc. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator
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. Drink now through 2030.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A preponderance of yellow fruits, exotic spices, layers of cloves, star anise and fennel, with white cloth and beeswax. It’s a powerful, tightly coiled wine of great length and complexity. These evolve favourably in the future, while you allow this to age and settle. This is a very impressive wine.
