We’ve all heard the old saying, “Good things come to those that wait.” Although it often appears to be in short supply today, patience definitely is a virtue, especially when it comes to wine. Pick up a bottle of this next “Best Of,” Grosset Clare Valley Polish Hill Riesling 2006, and you’ll have your own patience dilemma on your hands. This dry South Australia Riesling is fantastic today but is expected to blossom into a brilliant vintage after several years in the bottle. Hailing from the revered Polish Hill sub-region of the Clare Valley, Jeffrey Grosset has earned a reputation of producing Australia’s top Riesling since establishing his winery in 1981. His 2006 Polish Hill Riesling perfectly balances strong acidity and mineral with intense citrus fruit on a crisp dry palate. Dense and textured, this sophisticated New World Riesling will continue to add layers, structure and complexity as it ages under a screwcap. Can you resist the temptation to drink this wonderful white now?
