Red Newt Cellars

South Block Sawmill Creek Vineyards Riesling 2013

Mineral driven, almost gravelly, with some stone fruit and citrus. A bit lighter and less concentrated than some of Red Newt’s best, but still super refreshing and tasty! — 2 years ago

Sawmill Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

I see that only one other person on Delectable has had this wine (as of right now) and gave it a horrible rating; and, well, they must have had a corked bottle, because this is quite nice. Whoever you are, I urge you to revisit this wine. — 4 years ago

Sawmill Creek Vineyards Gewürztraminer 2010

BIG nose of honey, melon and wisteria flowers. Strong flavors of lychee, minerals, melon, spices and honey. Hint of sweetness. Lots going on in this white, but even though it is busy, it is well balanced. Pleasantly oxidized with a short finish. Memorable FLX Gewurtz.. — 5 years ago

Sawmill Creek Vineyard Blaufränkisch Rosé 2019

Unique rosé...floral on the nose. I worry there might be some sweetness but the dry bitter super cranberry in the mouth and finish brings it home. I love this winery... — 4 years ago

McLaren Vale Shiraz 1998

A little gassy at first in the nose, but that blew off, brickish color. Black and red fruit, cherries and raspberries. I got the image of an abandoned sawmill, so the oak still shines through. Very integrated tannins, surprising amount of fruit still. This was a bruiser, initially, but it is a light bodied shiraz, now. Aging incredibly well, at least 5 more years, but drink now, for sure. A beautiful wine. Last bottle. — 5 years ago

Sawmill Creek Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2018

Really nice cab franc. Light in color but bold medium plus tannic finish. Has some fruit there black cherry and some leather. This could use a couple more years in bottle to mellow the tannins and let the flavor come through but I’m a sucker for bitter and bitey wines so enjoying it as is now. — 4 years ago

Sans Oak Sawmill Creek Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2017

This review is for the 2017 Cab Franc Sans Oak. Yes, you read that correctly, sans oak. Served chilled. It’s the grown up version of rosé. It’s mature and smooth and delicate. And it’s just a wee bit chewy and a nice set of stone fruit notes ... cherry. And yet very raw ... not mature. No tannin flavors ... no acid. Just delicate ... not at all what I associate with cab franc. Try it. Chilled. Instead of rosé. On the hottest August day with a grilled pork loin. — 6 years ago
