jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A very classic Soave with fresh-peach and candied-citrus notes. The balance between moderate acidity and creamy ripeness on the medium-to full-bodied palate is spot-on. Bright, slightly mineral finish. Screw cap.
jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: Starting with the 2018s and aged all in stainless steel and bottled in February, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc shows the more medium-bodied, forward, supple style that’s common in the whites in the vintage. Light...
Decanter, 97 points: From an intriguing blend of two-thirds Marsanne and Roussanne, with Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay, aged in oak, half of which is new. The wine is rounded, showing nutty, biscuity notes from the new wood, and...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: This medium-bodied white exhibits nice tension, featuring white peach and fresh-cut pineapple flavors and hints of orange zest, flanked by mineral, white tea and herb details. Offers accents of white pepper, floral and...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: This is this publication's first review for Vistamare, which has been produced since 2009. The 2017 Vistamare is a blend of 45% Vermentino, 40% Viognier and 15% Fiano. The Vermentino and Fiano are fermented in stainless...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2012 Director’s Reserve White is a blend of 74% Sauvignon Blanc and 26% Semillon raised in 30% new French oak for nine months with regular lees stirring. It has a more herbaceous and earthier bouquet compared to the...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2016 Planetes de Nin Blanc is a rare varietal of Cariñena Blanca, whose name is not allowed to be on the labels. They wanted a white with acidity, and they found it in this obscure variety, which they took from a...
jamessuckling.com, 93 points: A subtle white with white pepper, thyme, citrus and quartz and other minerals. What this really trades in is minerality, whereby flinty and stoney aromas are conveyed in a linear streak of acidity. Medium-bodied and...
jebdunnuck.com, 91 points: Starting out, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage Les Terres Blanches Blanc (70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne) sports a medium gold color as well as a beautiful bouquet of spiced citrus, white flowers, and salty minerality. Clean...
jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This is extremely smoky on the nose with flint and gunpowder. Dried apple, lemon and pear character. Full body, dense and powerful. Yet always lively and dancing in the palate. Crazy finish. One of Italy's top whites...
Vinous, 93 points: (92-93) (I tasted this wine from barrel but it was slated to be racked into tank just hours after my visit; 100% Aligoté): Knockout vibrant nose combines peach, crushed stone and spices, plus subtle nuances of mint...
Decanter, 92 points: A rare Côtes-du-Rhône from the northern Rhône, the vines grown near Ampuis. It's a medium-bodied, bright and attractive white with lovely balance between generous plump fruit and inner tension. Good acidity for a 2016...
Wine Spectator, 91 points: Bouncy and lively, with a tasty mix of meringue, peach, mirabelle plum and dried pineapple notes allied to a streamlined feel through the ginger-accented finish. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2019. 335...
