Oyster Bay Wines 2016 Chardonnay - 87pts

Oyster Bay Wines 2016 Chardonnay (Marlborough) New Zealand

Availability: Widely available at BCLDB and private stores
Cost: $16-20
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: March 24th, 2018

Tasting Notes: Subtle, on the nose, with light, apple and lemon tart aromas peaking through. This well-priced, Marlborough Chardonnay is all about the salad and seafood friendly palate which nicely balances a kiss of residual sugar with mouth-watering, citrus acidity and tangy orchard fruit flavours. 
Drink now-2020.

Oyster Bay Wines 2015 Pinot Noir - 87pts

Oyster Bay Wines 2015 Pinot Noir (Marlborough) New Zealand

Availability: Widely available in BC
Cost: $17-20
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: January 3rd, 2017

Tasting Notes: A middle-of-the-road, even-keel, Marlborough Pinot Noir with mannered acidity and tannins and a nice balance between savoury and fruit characters on its mineral-cherry scented nose and its smoky-raspberry seed and vanilla-cherry flavoured palate. Enjoy this Pinot in its youth. 
Drink now-2018.

Oyster Bay Wines 2010 Sauvignon Blanc - 87pts

Oyster Bay Wines 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough) New Zealand

Availability: Widely available at BCLDB and private stores
Cost: $17-20
Alcohol: 13.3%
Date Tasted: February 26th, 2012

Tasting Notes: Classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with loads of gooseberry, green apple, sweet grass and lemon drop aromas and flavours without pungent cat's pee notes. Dry, with a touch of residual sugar to offset the mouth watering acid. Light oily texture adds body to the mouth feel. Refreshing tartness and lemon linger on the moderate finish. A tasty, crisp treat. Drink now-2013.
