Tasting Notes - Karra Yerta Riesling 2005 (Recommended)

I guess one good thing about the wine glut is that 2005 riesling from Clare and Eden Valley is still freely available. We tried a cracking riesling from Radford Dale the other week and I'm pleased to report that the Karra Yerta is bang on target (and comparable). Traces of development on the nose (broadening citrus flavours, a touch of honey), not totally unexpected, but somewhat tighter to taste. Dry lemon, plenty of acid zingy, yet quite soft and easy to drink. Again the the faintest broadening on the finish speakes to the 2 years of age. This will look great as a 4 - 6 year old.As an aside the vineyard has impeccable pedigree; 75 year old located on the same patch of land as 3 Rivers and Hobbs.
