A strong effort from Vavasour's second label, the 2008 Dashwood SB features vibrant aromas of crushed tomato leaf and hints of jalapeño and flavors of green tomato and gooseberry. It's medium in body and slightly creamy in texture, with a crisp, fruit-driven finish.

"Vivid, refreshing and brimming with lime-accented pear, star fruit and light vanilla flavors, lingering nicely on the expressive finish. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported."

Nice crisp wine. A bit of initial acidity, but a nice clean fruity finish. Good pairing for spicy foods. Drank this wine with some chicken fajitas and it stood up quite well.
