winemaker's notes:

The 2008 Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc is a pale straw color. This classically styled wine shows lifted melon, citrus and fresh tropical notes on the nose. These flavors follow through to the richly structured palate which has a long crisp finish. Blending fruit from both the Awatere and Wairau Valley regions of Marlborough benefits the wine with aromatics being enhanced by the Wairau Valley component and a mineral note being imparted from the Awatere Valley component.

critical acclaim:

"Vivid, refreshing and brimming with lime-accented pear, star fruit and light vanilla flavors, lingering nicely on the expressive finish. Drink now."

rating (9/29/2010):

Enjoyed this wine very much. It had more lime than it did the grapefruit character which tends to be common in NZ Sauv Blancs. But very pleasant--crisp, straight-forward, refreshing. A good choice with fish or spicy Asian dishes.
