Proprietary Blend Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2014 Ygrec is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon with seven grams per liter of residual sugar. It has an attractive nose with scents of nettle, dandelion, gooseberry and grass clippings, the Semillon...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: This is a triumph. An amazing white showing roasted pineapple, dried apple, flowers and hints of lemon curd on the nose. Hints of almonds, too. Full-body, closed and tight with amazing depth and beauty. Waxy, salty, and...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 92 points: (made from 55% marsanne, 35% roussanne and 10% viognier; 5% new oak in large format): Pale yellow. Intensely perfumed nose offers fresh and dried pit fruits, jasmine and floral honey. Bright minerality adds lift and cut...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Stony, pure and driven, with melon rind, white peach and verbena notes offset by fine cut and precision, as mineral, salted butter and quinine notes ripple through the very lengthy finish. Lovely now, with the fine...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: A gorgeously rendered hedonists’ delight, with creamed melon, peach, apricot and quince flavors that glide along, supported by subtle ginger, hazelnut and piecrust notes. The long, lush finish has fruit for days...
