Displaying a remarkable resemblance - albeit at lower energy - to its 2007 counterpart, Dirler's 2006 Pinot Gris Schimberg is predominantly bright, saline, and smoky, though if offers a more pliable palate, flattering texture, and hint of nut oil richness to encourage current consumption. In testimony to the effects of its acidity and extract, 13 grams of residual sugar are simply nowhere in evidence. I would plan to enjoy this over the next 2-3 years. There was a Schwarzberg bottling of 2006 Pinot Gris that I did not have chance to taste. Jean-Pierre Dirler was another of those growers to express delight at the 2007 vintage with its wide window of harvest opportunities, but to have sold off or declassified much of his family's production in 2006. It bears repeating that this estate's international profile is not nearly as high as is the quality of wine that have issued from it routinely since at least the mid-1980s, when I first visited here. I did not, unfortunately, have chance to taste quite the entire 2007 Dirler-Cade collection, and canvassed only a small selection of their in any event diminished number of 2006s.Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel.
