While the corresponding Riesling Reserve Personnelle - from the young vines within their Clos des Capucins - was a bit too fungal and bitter to be more than modestly recommendable, the Fallers-' 2006 Riesling Cuvee Theo - from the mature vines - delivers bright orange citricity with pungent herbal and brown spice as well as fusil and alkaline inflections, a wine clearly tinged by botrytis and needing to be enjoyed within the next couple of years, but satisfyingly juicy and (despite a bit of residual sugar) dry-tasting. Counterpoint of apricot cream and fresh lime as well as of soothing richness and invigorating pungency and fruit pit piquancy lends this an attractive dynamic. 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.
