jamessuckling.com, 94 points: 70% marsanne and 30% roussanne. This has an attractive lemon citrus and preserved lemon nose with dried flowers, too. Extremely pure. The palate has a terrific core of intense, ripe fruit and minerally stony notes. Fine...
Wine Spectator, 90 points: Lovely tangerine, nectarine and peach notes are carried by a fresh honeysuckle accent. There's good zip, though this leans more toward the flattering side of the spectrum. Drink now through 2019. 1,176 cases made. — JM
Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: This producer is well respected for its long reputation of making ageworthy whites and this vintage is no exception, a bright, complex and nutty expression of pear and ginger cookie. Textured and restrained, it shows a...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: More aristocratic and unapproachable in its cool and dusty wet stone aroma (from 100% phylitte soils), the 2014 Kiedricher Turmberg Riesling Trocken is mind-blowing in its ascetic power and terroir expression. The fruit...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Christmann's iconic 2014 Konigsbacher Idig Riesling trocken GG is pure, intense, fresh, and displays chalk and lemon flavors on the concentrated, complex nose. Full-bodied and round on the palate, very elegant, intense...
Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: A tightly coiled rich wine that has great acidity as well as a lively structure. Touched by spice from wood aging as well as intense citrus, it is fruity, firm and strongly textured. Drink this impressive still-young wine...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Complex aromas of sliced apples, honey, pineapple and honeysuckle with hints of stones. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a beautiful finish. Intense and powerful. A combination of density and power. What a great...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Similar in style to the hedonistically-styled Cuvee de l’Orée (especially when compared to the structured, mineral-laced l’Ermite), the 2014 Ermitage le Méal Blanc (aged in 10% new demi-muids) offers layers of celery...
Vinous, 94 points: Pale yellow-gold. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, iodine, brioche and white flowers, and a hint of smoky lees emerges with air. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering intense...
jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Very nice citrusy fruit on the palate and enough acidity to balance the medium-full body. There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that takes a little bit away from it. Made from organically grown grapes.
Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Old Guard is the most relaxed and open of these wines. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes are front and center, but it is the wine's crystalline purity and overall finesse that stand out most. In...
Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Spice from wood aging gives this rich wine its great character. It is supported by the tropical and white fruits. It is developing into a ripe full wine, delicious with its acidity and with its tangy aftertaste. Drink...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The Donelans produce several Chardonnays. The 2014 Chardonnay Nancie sees about 20% new oak. It was aged 10 months prior to bottling and is a three-vineyard blend, two on Sonoma Mountain and one on the lower ground of the...
