Leaning Post, The Geek Riesling 2018 106 Vines Mourvedre almost opaque in the glassThe Geekiness continues to rise in this wine. Reductive notes of charcoal smoke and flint beautifully supported by stone fruit, and hints of petrol. On the pallet there is a rich and creamy texture twinned with the freshness and slight hints of other grape varieties. It is practically immortal and should age for beautifully for the next decade and well beyond. Drink with freshly shucked oysters, sushi, and the geek you love the most.
