Fodor's Review:
From the start, Kevin Judd produced first-class sauvignon blanc, and an equally impressive chardonnay was added to the portfolio soon afterward. That was the intention of Australia's Cape Mentelle Vineyards when it got Cloudy Bay up and running in 1985. Its sauvignon blancs are consistently highly rated for their notes of citrus, pear, and passion fruit; these are generally ready for immediate drinking. The chardonnay is more complex and can take medium-term cellaring.
