Heiner Lobenberg om:
Section 94 2021

95–96+
/100

Section 94 vokser i en top-parcel i Dog Point Vineyard i Marlborough på siltet lerjord. Vinstokkene er allerede omkring 30 år gamle. Naturligvis er alt håndplukket på Dog Point, hvilket på ingen måde er standard i New Zealand. Efter ren spontangæring modnes vinen på brugte franske fade. Er dette svaret på en hvid Bordeaux? En Pessac fra Smith Haut Lafitte? Eller snarere en Sauvignon Blanc fra Vacheron lagret på træ? Et sted midt imellem. Flint og hasselnød sammen med grapefrugt og lime. Meget mineralsk og stram som en Chablis fra Piuze. Meget fokuseret, god retning og fantastisk struktur med enorm længde, men alligevel fin og frisk på trods af den mærkbare brug af træ. På trods af sin overfladiske dybde hører den til blandt verdens store Sauvignons sammen med Südsteiermark, Loire og Bordeaux.

Suckling om: Section 94

This is a beautiful and complex wine with sliced apples, lemons, bread dough and salted pie crust. Some grass. Always subtle and complex yet shows intensity. Medium body. Lovely acid balance and an excellent finish. White pepper. Dry. Always excellent. Drink now. Screw cap.

Wine Enthusiast om: Section 94

From a single vineyard and aged in old French oak, this wine—always one of New Zealand's most distinctive Sauvignon Blancs—opens with intensely reductive, sulfuric aromas of struck match, grilled nuts over a smoky fire and buttered toast. The fruit comes on the second beat, with whiffs of baked lemon and passion fruit. Then, on the palate, it all seems to coalesce, with bright acidity, a rich, creamy texture and concentrated flavors pulsing to a very long finish. A love-it-or-hate-it style, but a well-made drop in any case.

Parker om: Section 94

The 2020 Section 94 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe (14% alcohol), but it carries it so well. The wine is weighty (emphasized by time in older oak barrels) and wide—there is a smoky/dusty/earthy/campfire sort of character in the background, while the fruit reaches from kiwi, green apple, lemon flesh, lemongrass, tatami mat, enoki mushroom and even hints of white miso. While the estate Sauvignon Blanc is elegant, lean and refined, this is powerful, complex and expansive. This is a wine that will drink better in the future than it does now—the structuring and inherent power make for an exciting future discussion. Sealed under screw cap. 93+/100

Wine Spectator om: Section 94

Aromatic, complex, succulent and fleshy, offering flavors of beeswax, litsea oil and peach preserves, with candied ginger and honeysuckle accents. A whiff of smoke mingles with the crisp citrus and herbal notes at the lip-smacking core. Drink now through 2034.
