Woollaston 2008 Pinot Noir (Nelson)
- $23
A pleasant surprise from this relatively young producer. The aromas and flavors are welcoming and complex, ranging from dried spices and botanicals through plummy, savory fruit, while the tannins are supple and the texture rich. Lingering black cherries and spice mark the finish. Drink now–2015.

Woollaston 2005 Sauvignon Blanc (Nelson)
- Online Exclusive
This ambitious project, partly owned by Las Vegas-based Glenn Schaeffer, head of Fontainebleau Resorts, has succeeded admirably in its first vintage processed in its new winery. Lovely stoniness and minerality buttress ripe Sauvignon flavors of stone fruit and pink grapefruit.

Woollaston 2008 Riesling (Nelson)
- $18
Although the aromas of this off-dry Riesling are marked by lime and floral notes, there’s also an intriguing dark earthiness that imparts gravity and complexity. As it moves through the palate, it picks up hints of petrol on the slightly oily-textured finish.

Woollaston 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Nelson)
- $15
Shows some slightly flinty notes on the nose, while the bulk of the flavors run more toward citrus and nectarine. Round and fleshy, with a touch of honey on the finish, while remaining dry in style. This is a relatively young winery that’s still getting its feet under it, but looks to have a promising future.

Woollaston 2005 Pinot Rosé Pinot Noir (Nelson)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Light and fresh, this is an easy-to-glug rosé that's fruity--think strawberries and cherries--simple and clean, with a reasonably persistent finish.

Woollaston 2004 Pinot Noir (Nelson)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A light, easy-drinking wine from the first crop off Woollaston's Nelson Pinot Noir vineyard. Tea, cinnamon and clove notes accent vanilla and cherry flavors. Soft tannins build a little on the relatively short finish.

Woollaston 2005 Morgan Leigh Sauvignon Blanc (Nelson)
- Online Exclusive
Tropical and stone-fruity on the nose, with follow-on flavors that are a bit soft and sweet (there's 7.8 g/L residual sugar). Well made and clean, it's more of a mass-market wine than the regular Woollaston Sauvignon.

Woollaston 2008 Pinot Gris (Nelson)
- $18
Sweet and soft, with ripe melon and pear flavors that somehow never seem cloying, instead remaining harmonious through the finish. Drink now.
