2013 Riesling Sawmill - North Block
Inspired by the crystalline beauty and clarity of German Spatlese Rieslings, the Sawmill Creek ‘North Block’ Riesling is the site we believe best suits that style of wine. With lower alcohol and higher residual sugar, the natural acidity of Sawmill Creek makes this wine wonderfully refreshing and feather light. Juicy when young, but made to be aged for many years.
Wine Advocate - 92 points
The 2013 Riesling "Sawmill Creek Vineyards - North Block" has 49 grams per liter of residual sugar and 8% alcohol. Says winemaker Kelby Russell: "The North block best expresses itself as a Spatlese style Riesling." The rich beginning certainly indicates that this is an off-dry Riesling, but I never would've guessed that there were 49 grams per liter of residual sugar in it. The richness moderates with air and becomes a bit more subtle. The elegant mid-palate makes it seem refined and the acidity balances the sugar beautifully. Harmonious, gentle and lush, this drinks beautifully. There is just a hint of flint in the background.
