The Weinbach 2006 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Cuvee Laurence is both sweetly and intriguingly sea spray-like scented, with mint and candied grapefruit rind offering contrast. It persists with mineral themes, folding a scallop-like sweet, saline savor into lush, creamy pineapple, litchi, and liquid rose perfume. Hints of grapefruit rind, plum pit, and mint offset what is here overt finishing sweetness, while the marine elements lend the finish an appealingly lip-licking quality. I would be inclined if this wine were from a different sort of vintage to recommend cellaring it for a decade in anticipation of the sweetness receding and minerality becoming if anything more interesting. But given the background of this vintage, I would recommend one cellar cautiously and monitor the wine's evolution over the next 3-5 years. 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.
