Mud House are a respected producer, some folks believe in their pinot noir. I will look into that offer. Cheers Rich |

Mudhouse The Woolshed Vineyard Marlborough NZ Sauvignon Blanc 2010 93/100 551 Lovely wine with appealing concentration of bright gooseberry, mineral, capsicum and plenty of passion fruit flavours. Fresh and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc *from a top vintage. Great now but will continue to ** reward for many years. Courtesy of Bob Campbell - thank you. a) * From a Top Vintage, as we know - But what about future years ? b) ** Is this a firm MSB that will hold Mud House Claim 431 vineyard Central Otago NZ Pinot Noir 2012 92/100 451 Moderately rich wine with an appealing core of sweet fruit and Black Doris plum, black cherry, vanilla and spice flavours. It has a sumptuous and silken texture with a lengthy finish. Classy Pinot offering value at this price |

Mud house 2012. 87 pts (bob c) Pink grapefruit, freshly cut grass, gooseberry and passion fruit flavours with a tantalising hint of sweetness and crisp drying finish. A very appealing and polished Sauvignon Blanc that should certainly meet the expectations of Marlborough Sauvingon Blanc drinkers. |

Cheers Rich, The 2010 vintage is the fill your boots MSB, and that will not regretably be the offer at Majestic - for sure. The CO pn is also a fave in the southern hemisphere for the price ! Bob C, compares Quartz reef and Felton Road on the same web page ! Shez, Where are we with the 2012 ? A new one to us, and half decent - worth a punt, but I can't see this offer being the Single vineyard cuvee' "The Woolshed" . . . . . . only a visit will sort this out. |

Rich, Duncan's reviews are for single vineyard so don't rush out with the van just yet The majestic offering is their bog standard MSB (as per the tasting note I found). The label on the majestic website seems to differ from all other images online. Surely they wouldn't pay out for a maj specific label? Think we try before we buy for this one Edited for fat fingered spellings |

Yeah, agreed, not the flagship wine, however, worthy of further investigation and Tasting |

I've had a previous vintage. It reminded me of Kim Crawford. Dry, slightly austere, full side of medium bodied ( by sb standards ) grapefruit pith flavour. I'm expecting a raft of 'good for the money but wouldn't pay full price' reviews. Sauvignon blanc gets much better than this. |

I'm hoping that it will be better on day 2. Aroma fine. First taste (cold) acidic, not nice at all. Improved to just acceptable after some air and a bit warmer. Went flat and stodgy when warmer still. |

I reckon Goose is a bit optimistic here. Day 2 not much better. Will leave the second for a few months and see if it firms up a bit. Certainly shan't buy any more. |
