2013 White Wine

Vinous, 97 points: Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Leitz's green-yellow 2013 Rudesheimer Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trocken Ehrenfels from the Ehrenfels parcel offers a precise, fresh, intense and elegant (though still somewhat yeasty) aroma of limes, leafs, grapefruit and...

Burghound, 92 points: (90-92) A softly perfumed nose plays right on the edge of exotic fruit on the otherwise more typical notes of acacia blossom, apple and peach aromas that are trimmed in just enough pain grillé to notice. The intensely...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Middle-of-the-road style-wise, with a rocking mix of fruit, texture and freshness, the 2013 Chardonnay 3 D offers up lots saltiness in its citrus, ripe apple and crushed rock-riven bouquet. Medium-bodied, layered and...

Vinous, 94 points: (AG92-94 points) Orange peel, smoke, spices, mint and apricot pit flesh out in the 2013 Chardonnay Camp Meeting Ridge Vineyard. Bold and textured in its flavors but classically mid-weight in style, the 2013 captures a...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2013 Chardonnay offers a super-intriguing interplay of the vivid, crystalline purity that is such a signature of the appellation, along with soft contours that give the wine much of its welcoming personality. Scents...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Pichler's 2013 Riesling Smaragd Weissenkirchner Achleithen combines its deep and spicy minerality with intense (almost dried) apple aromas on the nose. On the palate this rich, full-bodied and tightly woven Riesling is a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Bright and pale green in color, the 2013 Deidesheim Kalkofen Riesling trocken GG from predominantly old vines on limestone/marl soils offers noble upfront fruit aromas of nectarines and yellow plums. Medium to full-bodied...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: At this early stage, the citrus colored 2013 Forster Ungeheuer Riesling trocken GG (with lime green reflections) seems to be von Winning's most impressive Riesling of the vintage. Intense, ripe and piquant fruit aromas of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Stunningly clear and pure on the citric-perfumed nose, the sweet 2013 Bernkasteler Lay Riesling Auslese *** is characterized by its laser-like precision and elegance, which is perfectly paired with its vibrant acidity and...

Burghound, 90 points: A deft if not invisible touch of wood frames pretty floral, citrus and pear scents that are trimmed in just a hint of petrol. The generous, mouth coating and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors possess good...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Distinct botrytis notes of dried apricot and musk for now dominate the nose while the primary fruit still sleeps in this dry, still-closed wine. The palate is sleek and flowing, while the backbone of acidity sits upright...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Even purer and perhaps more sophisticated than the Bockstein is the sweet 2013 Erdener Treppchen Riesling Auslese ** with its cool, slate purity and springlike citrus and blossom aromas, which are delivered as lime...

Burghound, 94 points: The super fresh and airy nose offers up cool strikingly complex aromas of white flower, spice, wet stone and various orchard fruit scents. The 2013 version of this wine is unusually powerful with the same excellent...
