Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: A whole-cluster pressed white aged in both French oak and stainless steel, this wine is richly woven in lemon verbena, pineapple, quince and grapefruit, its structure complex, lengthy and moderate in acidity.

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: A blend of 68% Sauvignon Blanc and 32% Semillon, the 2017 Les Lecons Des Maitres reminds me of a Haut Brion Blanc (it really is that good) with its crushed citrus, tart pineapple, white flowers, and salty minerality. Racy...

Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) Orange peel, smoke, spices, mint and apricot pit flesh out in the 2013 Chardonnay Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard. Bold and textured in its flavors but classically mid-weight in style, the 2013 captures a...

Vinous, 92 points: Kapcsándy's 2017 Furmint is gorgeous. Green apple, mint, white peach and melon flavors are nicely delineated in this crisp, steely white from Kapcsándy. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years. -- Antonio...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: I was pretty much blown away by the 2016 Viognier Wild Mountainside, which is up with some of the best expressions of this variety coming out of the New World. Flower oil, pineapple, apricot and some tropical notes all...
