Dashwood 2001 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
This crisp, zingy Sauvignon Blanc displays classic aromas and flavors of green apple, lime peel and gooseberry. It’s a food-friendly wine whose tart acidity will support a wide range of poultry, cheeses and grilled veggies. The pretty finish is long and spicy.

Dashwood 2008 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive

This is a pretty, delicately perfumed Pinot Noir, with elegantly intertwined cherry and herb notes. It’s light to medium in body, with a finish that shows just a touch of sinewy intensity. Drink it over the next year or so.

Dashwood 2005 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $17
A good value in Pinot Noir, this effort features notes of beet greens and underbrush but also plenty of bright raspberry fruit on the nose. Flavors are complex and well-integrated, and there’s a reasonably full and soft mouthfeel. Hints of sassafras and vanilla underline the finish. Drink now.

Dashwood 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $11
An oversupply of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has led to bargains like this wine, which delivers nectarine and white grapefruit flavors in a medium-bodied format. It's plump on the palate, then turns zippy and citrusy on the finish.

Dashwood 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $14
Essentially a second label for Vavasour, the 2010 Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc displays restrained gooseberry aromas that turn tropical and citrusy on the palate. Turns a bit chalky or metallic on the finish, but it’s still a solid wine, and some may like the edge that sharp note provides.

Dashwood 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $18
Pineapple and grapefruit flavors are accented by hints of tomato leaf, meaning this conforms to the basic Marlborough profile that blends fruit with grassy, herbal notes. Pretty good, it just fades a bit quickly on the finish.
