Proprietary Blend Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: 93+ (60% new oak; 5,600 cases produced): Bright lemon-yellow. Fully ripe but exhilaratingly sappy aromas of tropical fruits, lemon oil, fig and honeysuckle. Very sexy, complex and smooth on the palate, with expressive...

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: Editors Choice. Savory and fresh, this opens on alluring aromas of white flower, orchard fruit, citrus and a whiff of crushed rock while the palate offers creamy white peach, apple and lemon drop. A saline mineral note...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2014 Planetes de Nin Blanc is produced with the white mutation of Cariñena, a rare variety called Cariñena Blanca, which DNA tests show to be identical to the red one. The wine is full of character, and I believe the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The white 2015 Pedra de Guix is a blend of one-third each of Pedro Ximénez, Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo from old vines on different soils and different villages. There is always a touch of skin contact and some controlled...

jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc from Ferrando offers a beautiful minerality as well as rich, full-bodied aromas and flavors, ample honeyed notes, remarkable purity, and a great finish. It's rich and textured, yet also...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is very dense and layered with mineral, sliced lemon, spiced pear and green apple. Full body, round texture and delicious. Friulano and malvasia. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The Burgundian-styled 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvee Prestige, which is composed of 70% Roussanne and the rest Clairette and Grenache Blanc. There are about 100 cases of this beauty, which is vinified in new oak and...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Fragrant and juicy, offering a charming mix of honeysuckle, peach, apple and lemon verbena, set on a light and effortless frame. A mouthwatering vein runs throughout. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Semillon and...

jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: I always love this cuvée, and the 2015 Saint-Péray Fleur De Crussol might be the best yet. Brioche, honeycomb, crushed rock-like minerality and sautéed stone fruits give way to a rich, concentrated, beautifully textured...
