Weinbach's unimpressive 1995 Sylvaner Reserve reveals annoyingly aggressive high acidity, as well as a severe, tart, green style. Domaine Weinbach can produce one of Alsace's finest Sylvaners (a varietal I generally do not admire), but the 1995 is disappointing. Alsace wine enthusiasts will no doubt argue for decades as to whether Domaine Zind-Humbrecht or Domaine Weinbach produces this fairy tale region's most profound wines. The ZH wines tend to be slightly sweeter, with higher alcohol. Since Laurence Weinbach began making the wines, Domaine Weinbach's wines are drier, although still authoritatively powerful, rich, and concentrated. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel.
