Dashwood
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 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- $15
Vavsour’s entry-level brand goes by the name of Dashwood, and offers a light, crisp introduction to NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Aggressively herbal on the nose at first, it tones down to yield grassy citrusy flavors and a focused finish.

Dashwood 2004 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Already showing signs of aging, this modest Pinot features herb-infelected strawberry flavors to go with slightly earthy, meaty aromas. It's a bit lean and thins out on the finish. Drink yesterday.

Dashwood 2006 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $18
A lightweight, lean Pinot with an herbal streak. Scents of cherries, strawberries and dried mushrooms set the stage for tart berry flavors that finish tangy and crisp.

Dashwood 2009 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This is a tart, lean, somewhat ungenerous Pinot Noir, but one that still manages to deliver an attractive, creative tension between its earthy, composty aromas and bright cranberry fruit.
