Stephen Tanzer's IWC, November 2012

Straw-yellow. Bright aromas of smoked sausage, tropical fruit cocktail and cinnamon. Less massive than the Laurence but more elegant, offering flavors of honeyed apricot, cinnamon apple, smoky minerals and wet earth. Finishes smooth and long, with repeating notes of papaya and mango. 91(+?) -- Ian D'Agata

Wine Spectator, April 2013

The tightly knit flavors of lemon meringue, ripe white peach, melon and candied lime zest wrap around a core of spicy mineral framed by finely tuned acidity. Lightly mouthcoating, this remains finely balanced throughout. Drink now through 2025. — A.N.

About Winery

At the foot of the majestic Schlossberg hill in Alsace stands one of the finest estates in all of France. Domaine Weinbach is run with consummate skill and total dedication by Colette Faller and her two daughters, Catherine and Laurence. In the words of Robert Parker, "Colette and her daughter Laurence...pushed Weinbach to the pinnacle of Alsace's qualitative pyramid." Domaine Weinbach was established by the Order of Capuchin monks in 1612. The "Clos des Capuchins" vineyard surrounds the domaine; the prestigious "Schlossberg" vineyard (the first terroir in Alsace to receive the status of Grand Cru), the Grand Cru "Furstentum", and the adjacent "Altenbourg" vineyard rise above the clos. The domaine has 62 acres of vineyards in the heart of Kayserberg's hills and valleys.
