2014 White Wine

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: I love the lively and energetic profile of the 2014 L'Etoile Cuvée Spéciale, which is a sharper wine than the 2015 but also less developed and fresher. It feels very young and undeveloped, with bright acidity, strong...

Vinous, 96 points: The Fröhlichs’ signature site has never, in my experience, faced such formidable competition from their other Grosse Gewächse (which are also more numerous than ever, thanks to the post-2012 inclusion of Stromberg) but it...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: 95+ The 2014 Kiedricher Grafenberg Riesling trocken GG combines the fine and highly elegant Riesling fruit of the Klosterberg with the finesse-full and precise purity of the Gräfenberg phyllite terroir. Piquant and...

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

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu was picked on September 16 and 17 and has one of the highest pH at 3.25. The bouquet is well defined with scents of acacia honey and even a little walnut developing with aeration in...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: Complex notes of bee pollen, saffron and caramel lend nuance to zesty apple and citrus peel aromas on this dry-style Riesling. It's a richly concentrated yet invigoratingly crisp wine marked by sun-kissed tangerine and...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Rich, honeyed notes of pear and peach are lush and creamy, with plenty of spice. The supple texture comes with a crisp edge of pineapple juice and fresh acidity that reaches a crescendo on the finish. Drink now. 800 cases...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: (91+) The whites tend to spend one winter in topped up foudres and a second one in barriques that are not refilled. The current 2014 L'Etoile is the basic white produced exclusively with Chardonnay and is from a cooler...

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, 93 points: Deep, dusty slate and smoke tones rim the edges of this sleek, laser-edged Kabinett. It's intensely concentrated in lemon and lime flavors, but darkly mineral as well, finishing on sweet-tart hits of citrus and salt...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A fuller style of chardonnay with lots of cooked apple, pear and plenty of cream and lemon undertones. Flavorful and bright. Drink now.

Vinous, 93 points: Pale yellow-green. Wonderfully complex perfume of lime and orange zest and minerals. Then silky and voluptuous in the mouth, a distinct step up in texture and fat from the Mont de Milieu. But this very pure wine is nicely...
