Predictably, the extra measure of ripeness and richness associated with this cuvee was in the case of Weinbach's 2006 Riesling Schlossberg Cuvee Saint Catherine l-Inedit achieved through botrytis (from a harvest on the last day of September). High-toned scents of distilled mirabelle and apricot, marzipan, maraschino, and mothball mingle with smoky pungency, and the spirituous and slightly sharp notes on the nose carry onto an otherwise creamy, honeyed palate. Twenty-five grams of residual sugar make for considerable sweetness, yet there is a slight drying of the finish from the tactile botrytis impingement. There are also fascinating alkaline, saline, even stony suggestions of things mineral. This intriguing wine should be monitored carefully, as I could easily imagine it fading quickly or succumbing to an increase in volatile and mature tones. This year, Domaine Weinbach will receive its official certification as organic and biodynamic growers. The Fallers did well in the difficult 2006 vintage - especially with those Gewurztraminer harvested before botrytis gained the upper hand - and with good reason expressed elation over the vibrancy and refinement that characterizes most of 2007s.Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel.
