Cherry Tree Hill 2010 Riesling
I think I acquired this about a year ago in a VinoMofo mixed pack. Unfortunately my book keeping back then was not so great, so I'm relying on my less than reliable memory.
I opened this tonight expecting maybe a pleasant little riesling. How wrong I was. This is a cracking wine. It is just starting to develop some nice ageing characteristics. There are light diesel/kerosene notes on the bouquet and a slight honeyed sweetness to the apricot fruit to balance the citrus acidity. There is a trace of slate like minerality through the mid-palate along with some beeswax. Leading to a very long finish with a trace of petroleum. One of the nicest rieslings I’ve had in a while. Superb.
If it did indeed come from VinoMofo, it is right up there with the best wines I have obtained from them.
