Darlene scored this wine: 89/100

This may be a funny wine review in comparison to most I have written but I tested and drank this bottle of Sawmill Creek “Riesling” over 2 evenings of binge- watching episodes of season 4 of The Walking Dead. If you have watched this series, you know that you watch more than one episode on Netflix per evening and as many as you can handle before bed time. The episode I saw, the Governor comes back and tries to take over the prison. It was a very intense and sad scene of one of the great characters dying in the process. The wine certainly held up to this. With a light, off dry , taste that had a sweetness and hint of honey and ripe peaches, it was a force to be reckoned with. It tasted so yummy, even with my emotions being erratic during a few scenes. I would give this wine a score of 89/100 and definitely recommend it for either a night sitting at the fire or during your television binge -watching. If you are looking to have a bottle of wine for dinner, I would think pairing it up with a good chicken, fish or seafood, it would be a hit.

Great sipping wine, I enjoyed this a lot. Crisp with notes of lemon, lime, and tangerine. Would be great to pair with chicken or fish.

Richly textured, with a core of chewy raspberry, it starts sweet and silky but has a tanny after taste. Dry wine and not extremely sweet. A great sipping wine.

Darlene reviewed this wine:

My husband and I tried this wine for Valentine's Day. Medium bodied and dry, this Riesling is soft and easy to drink. Fruity flavours followed by a refreshing citrus finish. I paired it with chicken cordon bleu and white wine sauce. A glass or two was fantastic but beyond that, it may be too much citrus in one sitting.
