The Fallers' 2006 Pinot Blanc Reserve (more than three-quarters Auxerrois) is dominated by honey and caramel - in other words, by the influence of botrytis - and is opulent and glossy. Like the corresponding Sylvaner, though, it is analytically dry (at two grams residual sugar). Quince and apple are shot through with pungent, even prickly manifestations of tangerine zest and botrytis, which also engender a slight sense of drying in the finish. This should be enjoyed very soon. 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.
