Lailey 2009 Riesling
Rieslings from '09 were loaded with acidity, so the trick was to balance that high acidity with sweetness and fruit. Winemaker Derek Barnett has made some pretty good Rieslings over the years but I believe this just might be one of his best. What follows will seem simple, but it's hard to get the feeling this wine brings to the mouth without pouring you a sample (in other words, after you read this get thee hence to Lailey and try). A nose ripe with peach and apple and a palate full of green apple acidity balanced with sweet peach flavour. Comes across quite dry and mouth-wateringly good. The best part is that long finish and with only 11.5% alcohol it's hardly taxing on the palate. Price: $18.00 - Rating: **** 1/2
