The 2021 Riesling Sagemoor Vineyards from DeLille Cellars wafts up with sweet floral perfumes, candied ginger, lime zest and nuances of kiwi. It's soft-textured with a balanced inner sweetness, casting ripe melon and nuances of candied citrus across an energizing core of juicy acidity. This cleans up beautifully through the finale, leaving salty minerals and hints of sour melon to linger through the cheek-puckering finale. The balance of savory and sweet is expertly done here. ...

This has an aromatic nose, with ripe lemons and pears, fresh honey and saffron. Medium- to full-bodied with a round, creamy texture. Vivid acidity balances the medium-sweet fruitiness, leading to a sleek and juicy finish. Drink now.

Coming from the White Bluffs region, the 2021 Riesling Sagemoor Vineyard is terrific and offers gorgeous varietal notes of minty herbs, lychee, crushed stone, and exotic citrus. Nicely balanced, medium-bodied, and balanced, it brings bright acidity, good sweetness of fruit, and a great finish. It's going to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table and is an impeccably made Riesling that will evolve for 10-12 years.

Fermented in stainless steel, the 2021 Riesling is fresh and crisp, with notes of lanolin wax, green apple and white peach with fresh citrus blossoms. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is fresh and focused on the palate, with about eight grams per liter of residual sugar giving it a kiss of sweetness. Lively acidity frames the finish with succulent citrus and fresh pomaceous flavors that will remain food-friendly for years to come. Bravo!
Winery
The White Bluffs AVA experienced cooler-than-average growing conditions for much of the season, allowing for our Riesling grapes to be picked at very moderate sugar levels, yet with full flavor. Bosc pear, lychee, Meyer lemon and wet stone are showcased initially on the nose. A touch of residual sugar is just enough to balance out the bustling acidity and create a more full-bodied mouthfeel, full of honeysuckle, dried apricot and jasmine. There is a freshness and liveliness to this wine that makes it very easy to enjoy on its own but will pair easily with a variety of seafood dishes.

Varietal: Riesling

Riesling grapes are very rarely blended with others in the development of wines, and for good reason. These pale grapes which originated in the cool Rhine Valley of Germany are notable for their 'transparency' of flavor, which allows the characteristics of their terroir to shine through in wonderful ways. The result of this is a wine which carries a wide range of interesting flavors quite unlike those found in other white wines, finished off with the distinctively floral perfume Riesling supplies so well. Many wineries in Germany and elsewhere tend to harvest their Riesling grapes very late – often as late as January – in order to make the most of their natural sweetness. Other methods, such as encouraging the noble rot fungus, help the Riesling grape varietal present some truly unique and exciting flavors in the glass, and the variety of wines this varietal can produce mean it is one of the finest and most interesting available anywhere.

Region: Washington State

The popularity of fine red wines, made with classic Old World grape varietals, has continued to increase in the United States over the past few decades. Washington state has consistently impressed with their red wine grape varietals, and many of the most popular American red wines of the past twenty years have come from this unique and interesting state with its two distinct regions. The vast majority of Washington's wines come from the arid eastern half of the state, a semi-desert irrigated by the rivers which run through the area, with considerably fewer wineries found in the wetter western side. Washington is renowned for the production of strong, fruit-forward wines made with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and other varietals, with many fine white wines being produced there also.

Country: United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.
