2014 White Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: One of Margaret River's (and Australia's) iconic Chardonnays, Leeuwin's 2014 Art Series Chardonnay continues that proud tradition. Never shy on toasty, nutty oak or bold fruit, the 2014 features both seamlessly woven...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2014 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard has expressive pink grapefruit, warm peaches and brioche notes with hints of praline and ginger. Medium-bodied with great richness and depth in the mouth, it has a lovely creamy texture...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From blocks of old Wente vines planted in the 1970s, this producer and site continue to find beautiful synergy together. This wine shows high-toned floral notes around full-bodied richness and flavors of crème brûlée and...

Decanter, 95 points: It was a great pleasure to visit Rajat Parr in Santa Barbara at the beginning of this year and to see some of the extreme sites his team are farming. Since 2011, Raj and his winemaker Sashi Moorman have been producing...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Herbal flavors and stewed fruit aromas dominate the super clear and stony bouquet of the 2014 Pündericher Marienburg Riesling Rothenpfad Reserve. Aged for two years on its lees and bottled in October 2016 just two weeks...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The La Sémillante de Sigalas 2014, the dry white pure Sémillon blend from Château Sigalas-Rabaud, has an attractive beeswax and pear-skin bouquet that is well defined and focused. The palate is fresh and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: From slate soils with calcareous parts, the 2014 Riesling Uhlen L 'VDP Grosse Lage' (picked in the lieut-dit Laubach) opens with a deep and cool, fascinating, yet still somewhat discreet and dusty/stony, herbal bouquet...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: A seductive style that captures effusively ripe peach and nectarine flavors. Features a juicy texture that's broad and layered. Despite using no oak, this leaves the impression of spicy, jazzy wood on the lingering...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is such a lively white with ripe fruit, mangoes and limes. Then it turns to a salt character. Medium-to full-bodied, racy and intense. Fresh, citrusy finish. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Coolish, very clear, subtle but multi-layered on the highly elegant, finesse-full and flinty nose starts the 2014 Riesling Dellchen GG. This is a full-bodied, pure, very elegant, highly complex and frisky Riesling of...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: From the beautiful, historic site planted to some of the oldest vines of the variety in Northern California, this delicious white explodes in juicy green apple and an intensity of fresh-squeezed lemon. That succulence...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2014 Chardonnay is one of the most distinctive wines being made in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Graphite, smoke, peach, mint and honey give the 2014 much of its exotic flair. Dramatic in both its flavors and phenolic...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Honeysuckle as well as smoky hazelnuts – in almost a Premier Cru Meursault-like style – are suggested by the 100% Old Wente clone of the 2014 Chardonnay Durell Vineyard. This is from loamy, rocky, volcanic soils in one of...
