- Dom Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Schlossberg 2010 Product #25204 (In Stock)

My tasting note from August, 2011, at the Domaine reads, "We've got to have this!" Every bit as refreshing as the Riesling Reserve, this layers on Grand Cru intensity and depth and an endless finish. You'll find Gala apple, white peach, and lots of zesty lime flavor here under intense aromas of fresh flowers, wet stones, and lime zest. This long, complex, mouthwatering, white comes from the upper slopes of the first vineyard in Alsace to achieve “Grand Cru” status.
"Racy and medium-bodied, this offers flavors of yellow apple, candied lemon zest, beeswax, blanched almond and lots of ground spice. Lovely precision to the overall balance. Mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2020."Wine Spectator 92 points
- Dom Weinbach Gewurtztraminer Cuvee Theo 2010 Product #25209 (In Stock)
-

Named for Catherine Faller’s father, Theo, this classic Alsace Gewurtz comes from the Domaine's home vineyard of Clos des Capucin and a vineyard in Altenbourg. A wonderful balance of intensity and cut with open, generous, accessibility. Exotic fruits and a strong lychee nut element are framed by baking spice and stony, smoky, mineral notes. The lip-smacking, smoke-tinged finish brings you back for another sip.
"A dry and streamlined Gewürz, with lively acidity framing flavors of pink grapefruit, cantaloupe, star fruit and lots of white pepper and pickled ginger. The fresh finish shows a briny hint of fleur de sel. Drink now through 2022."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Dom Weinbach Pinot Gris Altenbourg 2010 Magnum Product #26626 (In Stock)
-
-
A breathtaking example of Alsace Pinot Gris, rich but with the sweetness cut by laser-beam acidity. Brilliant.
"Bright yellow. Wild, exotic aromas of tropical fruits, apricot, caramelized pear and cinnamon apple. Silky, fat and sweet on entry, then racy acidity gives the mid-palate a firmer feel and more tension than the Cuvee Ste. Catherine bottling. Very concentrated pinot gris with a tactile, umami-like texture. A high-wire act of substantial sweetness (31.3 g/l) and brisk acidity (8 g/l). Finishes very long and pure, gaining in firmness with air."International Wine Cellar 91 points
"Layered flavors of apricot, almond, star fruit, spice and grapefruit zest mix in this silky white. It leans toward off-dry, but firm, well-meshed acidity and a zesty undercurrent of minerality keep it fresh and focused. Drink now through 2025."Wine Spectator 92 points
- Dom Weinbach Gewurztraminer Altenbourg 2010 Magnum Product #26627 (In Stock)

Hand crafted wine bottled in magnum by hand to our order. As far as we know, the only example you'll find in the USA!
"Full yellow-straw. Piquant spicy lift to the aromas of peach, honey and botanical herbs. Quite sweet and silky but not at all heavy thanks to harmonious acidity. Expands impressively in the mouth, spreading out to saturate the palate. In a very mellow style and not at all exaggerated, with a positive hint of finishing bitterness providing grip on the spicy, rising finish."International Wine Cellar 92 points
"A subtle note of white truffle adds depth to flavors of dried papaya and apricot, smoke, candied citrus peel and beeswax, while zesty acidity provides fine structure and focus, leading to a long, mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2025."Wine Spectator 93 points
- Dom Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Schloss Ste Cath 2010 Mag Product #26625 (In Stock)

One of Alsace's best dry Rieslings, hand bottled in Magnum for us. Very limited.
"Very perfumed nose of flowers (iris, peony), tangerine, pineapple and crystallized ginger; showing a bit more lift today than the Schlossberg, even if this wine is from lower on the hillside. Then rich and suave on the palate, with an opulent mouthfeel to the flavors of stone fruits, nutmeg and mace. Finishes long and smooth, with a ripe apricot flavor complicated by minerals and spices. An excellent showing, and built for aging. According to Cathy Faller, this needs about three more years of bottle age to enter its optimal drinking phase."International Wine Cellar 92 points
"Well-knit and fresh, there's a quiet intensity to this elegant white, and a floral overtone to the notes of Jonagold apple, white peach, lemon zest, beeswax and toasted almond. Lingering mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2025."Wine Spectator 93 points
