Oak aged. Quite refined and substantial, with juicy green fruits on the palate and real energy. Definitely worth paying a premium for this. Drinking range: 2015 - 2018 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2016)

Explosions of citrus and floral firewood - huge flavours are unleashed in this spot on Sauvignon. Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday (Aug 2016)
Wonderfully inviting orange notes at first, but also wild grasses and flowers, very aromatic in a broad spectrum with the oak very much in the background. Tight and more green-fruited on the palate. Nice grainy texture, super-intense fruit. Long and just a touch of heat on the finish. Drinking range: 2016 - 2020 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (May 2016)
A savoury nose with aromas of lemon balm, lanolin oil and apricot kernel, combined with biscuity notes. Palate: The palate is firmly structured with excellent concentration, balanced with crystalline acidity. Extended lees ageing and stirring adds breadth, providing complexity and elegance. The wine is a perfect match with soft and mature cheeses, terrines and pates. Drink between 2015 and 2020.Winemaker's notes (Dec 2015)
Two Rivers of Marlborough
David Clouston is originally from Marlborough, and after 22 vintages abroad from Oregon to Chile, Corsica to Alsace, he returned home and set about exploring the valleys and diverse terroirs of Marlborough. The main production is the Sauvignon made from fruit from both the Awatere and Wairau river valleys, whence the 'Two Rivers of Marlborough' name, but his hillside Pinot Noir is showing great potential.
