Jim Hazlitt is a long time wine grower in the Finger Lakes, and undisputedly one of the best growers in the East. His vineyards are situated just above the waters of Seneca Lake with soil, slope and exposure that allow for optimal ripening.

Ideal growing conditions at Sawmill Creek Vineyards have captured the exquisite spice and complexity that typifies Gewürztraminer in the Finger Lakes. Delicate but intense orange peel, spice and floral aromas combined with flavors of ripe pear and lychee balance a palate that is rich, creamy and elegant.

"Very tight still, this mouthwatering version offers racy acidity that keeps the watermelon, kiwi, green apple and fig notes rippling through the long, bright finish. Textbook bitter almond and bitter orange notes frame it all nicely. Tasted twice, with consistent notes." (WS - James Molesworth, February 2009)
