Costing under $15, with 13% alcohol, and scoring 16 points on the 20-point Dionysian scale for wines, the 2013 Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, New Zealand wasn’t a Sancerre, but it was a nice food white. It had gooseberry aromas with only the slightest hint of a litter box as so many NZ Sauvignon Blancs usually do.
I enjoy Sauvignon Blanc quite young and also aged five to nine years. Time is good for most things. Put one from the Loire Valley in France to rest for a few years and try it yourself. In Vino Veritas.
