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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: This has a flattering display of creamed melon, pear and peach flavors gliding along, lined with hazelnut husk and salted butter notes that add range and length through the finish, with long honeysuckle and heather...

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...

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...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Exuberant white blossom, lime and peach abound from nose to palate in this wine. A blend of Grenache Blanc, Picardan, Roussanne and Clairette, it's rounded and opulent in body but freshly composed. The finish is long and...
