The Weinbach 2006 Sylvaner Reserve smells of maraschino, pistachio, musk melon, and very ripe peach, and gives a correspondingly effusively - for this grape unusually - fruity and almost exotic palate impression. A flirtation with over-ripeness continues in the finish, which however is truly dry, and incorporates intriguing hints of chalk and nut oils. I would monitor this unusual, alluring wine carefully, as it probably needs to be drunk within the next 12-18 months. 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.
