Resulting from a 2015 Washington vintage that saw higher than average heat, this Riesling provides concentrated color and flavors. Right away, the vivid golden straw color is apparent. On the nose, fruit forward peach and pineapple notes mingle with citrus components of lime zest and orange peel, complemented by underlying clove and rose petal elements. Rich flavors of pineapple, apricot and pear spread over the palate, followed by a balanced acidity highlighted with a nuanced grapefruit and lemon finish.

@krichar77 Doesn’t really sound like it from the notes or the single CT TN on the '14. The trade notes on the King site are worthless, giving only AbV.
@krichar77 Same question! I copied this sentence from the tasting notes on their website: “Notes of lime and rose petal punctuate this dry style wine with a layered and lingering finish.”
…fancy words for: DRY
Auto buy for a case, just had some of the rose tonight. Sweet or dry, this is a solid price. I can always pawn some off or eat a ton of Hawaiian pizza.
@TechnoViking I am following the Hawaiian pizza idea… So pineapple would be the fruit to use to add to this to bring back the sweetness? Don’t know why but peaches was the first to pop into my head.
@mehnyblooms@WineDavid49 I wonder if just like the good days of Wine Woot the winery can get around that and ship directly to those of us in the Buckeye state…where WineDavid has fond memories.
@Humper Purists cover your eyes…Put half in a carafe and add some sugar. Keep the other half in the bottle for yourself. You can always make a wine sweeter…
@ColoradoGreg I keep a squeeze bottle of simple syrup in the fridge at all times for cocktails. Lately I have been putting a squeeze into every glass of wine I give my mom. She insists she still likes Merlot, but she only “likes” it if I doctor it. I guess tastebuds change in your mid-80s.
Have not had the Riesling but both the Rose and Chardonnay from NbN were very solid every day drinkers at a great price. Guessing this wine is more of the same but wondering if a rat will be checking in?
@bhodilee Fortunately Omaha is close to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Hooray for friends across the river!! I wouldn’t want to live there, but I’ll certainly go there to pick up some wine!
Well, I just popped for my first Casemates case. Can’t believe it took me this long…have long enjoyed the King Estate Pinot Gris, and based on other comments this looks like a winner when it’s time to grab the occasional white instead of the usual red.
I’m supposed to rat…and it was scheduled to be here yesterday…but that didn’t happen. So,fingers crossed when I get home tonight it will have arrived. I will post notes as soon as I can.
@mommadeb I was supposed to rat as well, the bottle is on the truck for delivery says Fedex. I bought a case last night anyway, will report tonight if the bottle arrives.
@moonhat Lab rats. The people who get early bottles shipped to them to taste and describe for the rest of us, to give us a better picture of what the characteristics of the wines on offer.
@Winedavid49 Do we need to email you if we were Kickstarters at the launch event level? I thought being a lab rat was a perk but to be honest I’m not sure how it works.
@InFrom@kelaiem
hi guys can you send me an email with your username - I have an email from one of you but don’t know who and don’t have email from the other. thanks. ham at hlcp dot net
I remember my best surprise from woot was a white from Scott Harvey. It was a Michigan Riesling. 2007 Leelanau Peninsula Riesling Michigan. Has an effervescence when drinking was was dry and acidic. Sooo good!! Woot link
@amehzinggrace@katherine@MSUMike Now there are 4 of us. Katherine/Mike - did you want to split with 4? If not I can buy a case and split with amehzinggrace.
From Wine Enthusiast 2/1/17:
88 Points, Best Buy
This is a vibrantly aromatic wine, with notes of honeysuckle, lime leaf and peach. The palate drinks dry, with tart acidity and a broad feel, dipping a bit in the middle before coming back together.
Wine finally arrived!! We put it in the freezer for 30 min. before tasting. There were 4 of us tasting…1 who usually does not like white wines.
Initial impressions:
Color: Very, very pale straw color. Almost translucent.
Aroma: Apricot, Pineapple very pleasant and fruity
we noticed the wine coated the glass in sheets rather than having legs.
Initial taste: Pineapple and Apricot… More dry than sweet. Nice balance
Mouth Feel: Richer than you would think, nice and crisp.
After it warmed up…
Lost some of the flavor, not as crisp. This is not a bad thing… it still was nice. There is the perception of being sweeter, due to lack of perceived acidity? Still light and refreshing.
Overall thoughts:
We all really, really liked this wine. We thought it was nice flavorful, fresh, crisp, refreshing and wonderful. The person who does not usually like white wines came back for 3rds . I came home and bought a case before I wrote this. What an unbelievably great price! Thanks for letting us try this!!
The wayward rat bottle showed up at my office around noon, when I got there at 3 it was still pretty cold & shaken up, it was 5.1F here this am and it spent 6 hours in the truck after 2 flights getting here. I opend it, poured myself a small paper cupful and offered it to the other folks there. 3 or 4 took a cup but we really didn’t get to talk till after 5, the comments were very tasty, bright and fruity, they all said they’d take a bottle or two. I took the last 1/4 bottle home for my wife to try, she doesn’t like many wines, only drinks white, usually riesling or blends & off dry to sweet. She liked this also as did I, if you’re looking for a dry riesling this will fill the bill and if you think you only like sweeter wines you might be surprised. I’d call it a crowd pleaser.
A steal at this price, I got a case last night, thanks!
In for a case based on others comments on the Rose. We grow some pretty darn good Riesling here in Michigan so I am always a little suspicious of other states… but I trust in WD!
Not sure how I couldn’t buy a case of this. I love the Rose’ and hope to see it back soon since I am running low! With this being a dry style Riesling perhaps it can tide me over until we see that Rose again. And as someone else said if all else fails it will make a nice Sangria:)
@jeffcohen Either way. I got the case because it was seemed like a cheap daily drinker and I’ve been happy with the NxNW Rose in the past so it won’t go to waste. If you’d like to get part of the case I ordered that’s fine too!
Good thing it’s February- our January wine budget wasn’t holding up. We’ve enjoyed the North by NW we picked up from our old Woot days, and can’t pass up this deal.
I am in this case confused why CT was not in the list of states - when it SEEMS that you can select that state when you order it online on the winery’s website.
Mine got here tonight. Quite drinkable, a bit more acidic than I’d normally grab, but not offputting. Fairly smooth, no appreciable sweetness. Bright, not super complex, but nice for a casual evening at home.
and if anyone else in the chicago are (besides @yakkoTDI) has any they’d like to offload, i’d be happy to take it off your hands. this is only the second white wine that i’ve really really liked. (the other was a chardonnay from a now defunct winery)

So…I read this as a sweet Riesling? Or dry with fruity notes? It matters to my wife…
@krichar77 same question here! Seems that should be in the upfront tasting notes . . . Kinda basic description for Riesling
@krichar77 Doesn’t really sound like it from the notes or the single CT TN on the '14. The trade notes on the King site are worthless, giving only AbV.
Need a rep or a Rat.
I’ll take the Rat.
@krichar77 Same question! I copied this sentence from the tasting notes on their website: “Notes of lime and rose petal punctuate this dry style wine with a layered and lingering finish.”
…fancy words for: DRY
@krichar77 King Estate here - the North by Northwest Riesling is “dry” in style - alsace style
this is a sick deal. seriously.
@Winedavid49 As was that lovely Rose of theirs.
@Winedavid49 dry or sweet?
@InFrom Loved the Rose deal. Pondering the Riesling but scared off by the potential for sweet.
@Winedavid49 Yeah, this is sick alright…NO OHIO!! LOL
@Winedavid49 excellent job…$5/BTL is an outstanding price!!!
Looks like a great deal in for 12. To me it sounds like a dryer Riesling.
@spudartman correct! Alsace Style
Auto buy for a case, just had some of the rose tonight. Sweet or dry, this is a solid price. I can always pawn some off or eat a ton of Hawaiian pizza.
@TechnoViking damn I missed the rose
@TechnoViking I am following the Hawaiian pizza idea… So pineapple would be the fruit to use to add to this to bring back the sweetness? Don’t know why but peaches was the first to pop into my head.
The 2014 vintage is listed as dry on their website.
https://www.kingestate.com/system/uploads/release/fact_sheet/197/North_by_Northwest_-_2014_CV_Riesling_TS.pdf
@sammypedram
it is classified as dry.
@Winedavid49 thank you,
/giphy restorative-sedate-rabbit
@Winedavid49 What is the RS?
@davirom 6.18 g/L
@kingestate How about the TA? and PH?
Not available in Ohio. Nuts.
@mehnyblooms What?!!
@mehnyblooms @WineDavid49 I wonder if just like the good days of Wine Woot the winery can get around that and ship directly to those of us in the Buckeye state…where WineDavid has fond memories.
Almost popped my casemates cherry on this deal. But a dry Riesling? I’m the only one in the house that would drink it
@Humper That doesn’t sound like a problem, more of a challenge.
@Humper So, why not find someone to split with, like neighbors or CASEMATES?? I’d be in all over this, IF IT WAS OFFERED IN OHIO!!!
@Humper Purists cover your eyes…Put half in a carafe and add some sugar. Keep the other half in the bottle for yourself. You can always make a wine sweeter…
@Boatman72 Do you get over to PA? I am west of Erie if that works as a shipping address for you.
@ColoradoGreg I keep a squeeze bottle of simple syrup in the fridge at all times for cocktails. Lately I have been putting a squeeze into every glass of wine I give my mom. She insists she still likes Merlot, but she only “likes” it if I doctor it. I guess tastebuds change in your mid-80s.
Gah, my ordering streak is broken; no love for Connecticut.
In for a case, even if it turns out somewhat sweet, make white sangria out of it for the beach.
@ermd It’s not sweet at all, more in the alsace “dry” style
Have not had the Riesling but both the Rose and Chardonnay from NbN were very solid every day drinkers at a great price. Guessing this wine is more of the same but wondering if a rat will be checking in?
I can’t speak for the riesling, but I did drink the heck out of the rose they offered.
/giphy mesmerizing-fastest-sidewalk
Just popped my first casemates deal!
Enjoyed the Rose and this also looks like a solid deal. Hopefully on the dry side. First Casemates purchase!
@normanl0 Hey Norman, Indeed this is on the dry side of the riesling spectrum
/giphy crucial-amateur-horn
@mtb002
That looks perilous. Don’t startle him.
Sad day in Nebraska, I’d have taken a flyer on a case.
Why the limitation on certain states? Why can you ship to Kansas, Iowa, and Colorado, but not Nebraska next door?
@Skrambeck State Government and Winery Licensing
@Skrambeck because NE is a shitehole and nobody wants to deal with it. waves from Omaha
@Skrambeck Sorry about that Skrambeck - but is is because of State / Winery Compliance
@bhodilee Fortunately Omaha is close to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Hooray for friends across the river!! I wouldn’t want to live there, but I’ll certainly go there to pick up some wine!
@Skrambeck Yeah, my brother and my sister live in Counciltucky. I suppose I could send this to one of them, but then I have to there.
@bhodilee
That’s why all the casinos are there
@bhodilee
Gettin’ lucky in Counciltucky?
@mtb002 defined as only contracting herpes yes
@bhodilee So glad to see you posting here. You make me grin on a regular basis.
Well, I just popped for my first Casemates case. Can’t believe it took me this long…have long enjoyed the King Estate Pinot Gris, and based on other comments this looks like a winner when it’s time to grab the occasional white instead of the usual red.
@frankster14 Awesome! The North by Northwest Riesling will not disappoint.

@connorbush I’ll take two or three bottles off your hands. I’m in SGV but make my way up to Sylmar fairly often.

Splendid. I pass through there often
@connorbush Fantastic! Now how the heck are we supposed to exchange personal information?
This is a steal, insta-buy.

@mommadeb Thanks for taking one for the team.
@mommadeb I was supposed to rat as well, the bottle is on the truck for delivery says Fedex. I bought a case last night anyway, will report tonight if the bottle arrives.
@mommadeb I will wait for both of your reviews than before buying it. The deal looks great though. I’m in the land of riesling though
@mommadeb what’s up with the rat thing? I’m confused.
@moonhat Lab rats. The people who get early bottles shipped to them to taste and describe for the rest of us, to give us a better picture of what the characteristics of the wines on offer.
@xandersherry what a nice gig! Lucky rats…
@moonhat shoot me an email. we’ll get you on the list! david@winecountryconnect.com
@Winedavid49 Do we need to email you if we were Kickstarters at the launch event level? I thought being a lab rat was a perk but to be honest I’m not sure how it works.
@Winedavid49 any chance you’re looking for additional rats?
Dry Riesling? How can I pass it up? Especially at this price. In for a case.
@justinh
In for a case. Anyone in NYC wanting to split a portion and willing to meet in Manhattan Midtown East, let me know.
@hammi99 I’d definitely be in for a few, count me in!
@InFrom great! Email me at ham at hlcp dot net and we’ll coordinate once I receive shipment
@hammi99 I want in too! Will send mail.
@InFrom @kelaiem
hi guys can you send me an email with your username - I have an email from one of you but don’t know who and don’t have email from the other. thanks. ham at hlcp dot net
@hammi99 @kelaiem Why not just a nice whisper?
So, does this mean el vino esta en la casa?
@InFrom @kelaiem because I just learned about whisper!!
@hammi99 Glad it’s here. Very handy.
Just as I’m down to my last bottle of Riesling. Casemates, I luv ya!
/giphy relished-renowned-corsair
In for a case, already have some interest in people in the office (easier to do with lower price point wines, that’s for sure)
I remember my best surprise from woot was a white from Scott Harvey. It was a Michigan Riesling. 2007 Leelanau Peninsula Riesling Michigan. Has an effervescence when drinking was was dry and acidic. Sooo good!! Woot link
@mshilko Yeah, I ratted that bottle, my first! That was a nicely balanced Riesling.
Anyone in DFW? at this price point I’m likely going in on 4 for myself if noone else raises there hands.
@MSUMike I’d be in! We normally go for red, but this seems too good to pass up.
@katherine If you want to jump on a case, I’d be down for 6 if noone else wants to join in…
@MSUMike That works for me! It certainly won’t go to waste. Happy to have our HQ be the meeting point or can head closer your way.
@katherine @msumike Still open for a 3rd person? I’d take 4. If not i’ll start another case.
@katherine @MSUMike Riesling isn’t my norm either but I have a couple of friends that come over often that love it so would like to have on hand.
@katherine @rainybank just ordered a case. I live in midcities dfw and work in downtown dallas.
@MSUMike I would like to try - in if you need another person - I work in DFW live in Garland
@amehzinggrace @katherine @MSUMike Now there are 4 of us. Katherine/Mike - did you want to split with 4? If not I can buy a case and split with amehzinggrace.
@rainybank @amehzinggrace @MSUMike Late response but happy to split 4 ways or 2.
/giphy joyful-muffled-sweater
/giphy brash-different-throne
I can’t pass up this price. If it’s too sweet, my sister will get an early birthday gift.
First Casemates purchase for me, but I suspect there are many more to come.
@nlmiller The winery rep and WD have both reported it is dry (not sweet).

I’m definitely going in for a full case myself (possibly two) and can add a second (or third) if anyone is interested in a split.
