2013 White Wine

James Halliday, 98 points: 55% machine-picked at night, 45% hand-picked, 64% cultured yeast, 36% wild yeast, fermented in and matured for 11 months in new French oak. It is supremely elegant and finely balanced, and has absorbed the new oak in a...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Fully revealing in brioche and preserved lemon, this wine shows a boldness of oak and body alongside an exuberance of ripe, tropical fruit that's lengthy and complex. This is classically Napa Valley in its luxuriousness...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Firm and focused, this is filled with powerful flavors of dark currant, white raspberry, melon and red peach, all loaded with minerality. Finely textured overall, with an explosively fresh finish of tarragon and slate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: In the same voluptous, blockbuster style as the Acin, the 2013 Chardonnay Hapgood is another knockout Chardonnay from this team. Butter apples, honeysuckle, cream and crushed rock all flow beautifully to a full-bodied...

View From The Cellar, 94 points: 94+ Happily, the 2013 Corton-Charlemagne was still open after its mise and was showing very well indeed at the time of my visit, offering up a deep and very esthery nose of apple, pear, bee pollen, a potpourri of spring...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Firm and focused, this is filled with powerful flavors of dark currant, white raspberry, melon and red peach, all loaded with minerality. Finely textured overall, with an explosively fresh finish of tarragon and slate...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Highly Recommended. Rich, elegant flavors of Fuji apple, kiwifruit and green peach glisten with intense flinty notes. Hints of fig and anise emerge as well, presenting luscious minerality on the seductively spiced...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Clare comes 100% from the Hyde Vineyard and represents a 22-year-old Wente clone of Chardonnay. This wine displays more buttery brioche notes, hints of tangerine oil and lemon blossom, a subtle...

Burghound, 90 points: An attractively layered nose is composed mostly of ripe fruit compote, citrus zest and lavender nuances. There is an equally attractive mouth feel to the delicious, precise and energetic medium weight flavors that possess...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Slightly reduced on the clear, mineral and precisely depicted nose, at the moment the sweet 2013 Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Spätlese shows hints of rather darker fruits along with lemon and orange flavors. The wine is rich...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2013 Proprietary White Mannequin, which draws fruit from diverse regions of Northern California such as the Carneros Basin and the Sonoma Coast, is actually a blend of 76% Chardonnay, 8% Viognier, 6% Marsanne, 5%...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: An expansive style, with lively acidity. Plump, ripe and buttery, this coats the palate with a rich array of fig, melon and tropical tangerine flavors, adding a floral, jasmine scent, enlivened by a nervy edge of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The straw-colored 2013 Rudesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling Trocken Katerloch from the Katerloch parcel is clear, precise and concentrated on the nose where scents of roses and lychees lead aromas of limes, grapefruit and...
