Proprietary Blend Wine

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.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Closed with a glass cork, the 2016 Alto Adige Stoan is a blend of 65% Chardonnay with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer with an aromatic emphasis on the fragrant varieties. I just love these...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: This is big and powerful, without being ripe and heavy. So much apple, stone, and hints of toffee. Aromatic. Full-bodied, layered and framed with phenolic tension and a great finish. Muscular and agile at the same time...

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, 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...

jebdunnuck.com, 90 points: A blend of 60% Vermentino and 40% Viognier, the 2016 Vistamare offers outstanding notes of white peach, citrus blossom, and a hint of citrus rind. It fleshes out nicely on the palate with medium-bodied richness, solid...

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, 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...

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, 95 points: Abbatucci’s 2011 Cuvee Collection: General de la Revolution Jean-Charles Abbatucci – for more on whose vinification and roster of ancient cepages, consult my review of the 2010 in issue 205 – is very nearly as exciting as...

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...
