2014 White Wine

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: The 2014 Chardonnay is brilliant. Lemon oil, white flowers, mint, almonds and smoke are all beautifully delineated in this transparent, super-finessed Chardonnay built on total finesse. The decision to pick a touch...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Showing a touch of brioche in its ripe orchard fruits, toasted bread, sweet peach and white flower bouquet, the 2014 Chardonnay Vanguard is medium-bodied, fresh, layered and focused, with lively acidity and a pure...

Wineanorak, 96 points: rom an ungrafted block planted in 1971, this is sensational. Meal, nuts, minerals and spice on the nose. So pure and refined. The palate is taut, lemony and mineral with amazing finesse. Such purity here, with keen lemony...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Sancerre les Romains reflects the combination of flint on limestone soils in a 1.2-hectare plot with vines averaging 65 years of age. The wine opens extremely pure and clear on the nose, with tea and floral...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: From almost 100-year-old vines on Kimmeridgian marl and limestone soils, the 2014 Sancerre Edmond displays a very deep and mineral nose with herbal and stony favors. Extremely pure and mineral on the palate, this is a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ The thickest, most unctuous, full-bodied and sexy white of the vintage is the 2014 Ermitage de l’Orée. Coming all from the sedimentary soils of the Les Murets and aged mostly in demi-muids (only 15% new), it offers...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: From 50 plus year old vines on yellow Buntsandstein soils with a sandy loam layer, the 2014 Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Trocken intertwines its deep and precise fruit aromas with earthy flavors on the nose to migrate...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Dark yellow in color, this wine shows tangy green apple and a richer, more concentrated element of apple-spice cake, with supportive, balanced acidity. With a bright, lifted finish, this less-expensive offering compared...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) The slightly curious nose mixes reduction and floral aromas. On the plus side there is an excellent sense of underlying tension and detail to the utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: A hint of licorice and green olive flits around the core of peach, melon and vanilla. Concentrated and well-proportioned, with a lingering aftertaste of lemon, mineral and spice. Best from 2017 through 2025. 100 cases...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: A fabulous 2014 with amazing aromas of spices, light cheese and walnuts. Full body, dried lemons, limes, stones and saltiness. Pumice as well and a layered, velvety texture. A joy to taste. Made from biodynamically grown...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: First, their non-malolactic 2014 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch comes from a cool-climate vineyard in Carneros. This is aged in 75% oak casks and 25% stainless steel, which seems to be the perfect marriage for showcasing...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: A dense and linear riesling with sliced limes, lemons and flint. Bright and precise. Full-bodied, layered and beautiful. Great finish to this. Big and flavorful. Yet not showy. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The white of the vintage in Saint Joseph is the 2014 Saint Joseph les Granits Blanc. Coming all from one of the top terroirs in the region, the granite soils of the lieu-dit Saint Joseph, this 100% Marsanne release boasts...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: This village bottling largely from gravel and cobblestone sites is another firm, clear, straight, adamantly dry Franzen Riesling, like its generic “underling.” Peach, apricot and lemon are laced with ginger, nutmeg, sage...
