2013 White Wine

Antonio Galloni's 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...

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, 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: The 2013 Chardonnay was aged for 19 months in 80% new French oak but never reveals that it spent that length of time in so much oak. Crisp, elegant white peach, honeysuckle, and lemon honey are all present in this...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Woolsey Road Vineyard is one of the most expressive and complete wines in David Ramey's range. Apricot, peach, smoke, crushed rocks and dried herbs all blossom in the glass. The Woolsey captures a...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Chardonnay Vanguard is absolutely gorgeous. Candied lemon peel, butter, pastry, mint and spice open up first, followed by a slight tropical note that adds nuance, texture and oiliness. The 90% new French oak...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 94+ Absolutely sensational, the 2013 Chardonnay Isobel comes exclusively from the 32-year-old vines of the Charles Heintz Vineyard. Barrel-fermented and aged 13 months on its lees, then four months in tank, this wine...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 93 points: Site-typical pit-tinged apricot in the nose is joined by scents of honeysuckle and high-toned nut extracts. The silky palate offers a luscious evocation of apricot fruit laced with brightly fresh lime, an impression of...

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...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: (93-94 points) Whereas its 2012 predecessor was bottled in April 2015, this 2013 was still several weeks out from bottling when I last tasted it in June 2016. The combination of richness with juiciness and levity, as well...
