2015 White Wine

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: The 2015 Hermitage Ex Voto Blanc is certainly in the same league as the 2009 and 2010, and it’s going to be interesting to compare these vintages over the coming 2-3+ decades. The 2015 has all the hallmarks of a great...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: 98+ The 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Rosenberg Auslese *** (Golden Capsule) displays clear, intense and fresh aromas of ripe pineapples, lemon fruits and crushed stones, indicating gorgeous purity. Crystalline and highly...

Vinous, 93 points: 93+ (60% new oak; 5,600 cases produced): Bright lemon-yellow. Fully ripe but exhilaratingly sappy aromas of tropical fruits, lemon oil, fig and honeysuckle. Very sexy, complex and smooth on the palate, with expressive...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (91-94 points) The 2015 season resulted in tiny clusters and small berries with production levels off by a minimum of 25%. The following 2015s will be bottled unfined and unfiltered. The 2015 Chardonnay Cahill Lane is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2015 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard shows the fatness and succulence this vintage seems to have produced routinely at top terroirs. Terrific honeysuckle, pineapple, peach and caramelized citrus are all present in this...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Very attractive honeycomb and lemon-peel nose of some complexity, then there’s a stunning balance of racy acidity and delicate candied lemon fruit on the palate. The finish is very long, clean and intense. Great now but...

View From The Cellar, 97 points: The 2015 Morstein Auslese is another beautiful wine...The bouquet is still stunning, jumping from the glass in a blend of peach, yellow plum, honeycomb, a lovely base of limestone soil and a floral topnote. On the palate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) is very clear and precise on the nose where concentrated lemon and grapefruit aromas intermix with piquant slate flavors. On the palate, this is a round...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: 96+ The 2015 Riesling Graacher Himmelreich Auslese ** (Golden Capsule) opens super piquant and concentrated on the nose, with intense and fresh lime and some smoky slate aromas. Concentrated and fine, with a piquant and...

Vinous, 93 points: (91-93) Bright, light yellow. Aromatic scents of lemon oil, mirabelle, crushed stone and spices. A step up in texture and concentration from the preceding premier crus, offering generous flavors of yellow peach and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The dry 2015 Riesling Kinheimer Hubertuslay Auslese ** (White Capsule) is from very fine slate soils that give power to the wines (not in terms of alcohol, though). Cool and flinty on the nose, this is a very powerful...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This divine and complex white delivers tones of almond paste, sea salt, lime and tangerine that are balanced by fresh, vibrant acidity. This is a well-balanced, food-friendly wine that impresses from start to long finish.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: At once powerful and rather sleek for the warm vintage, this grüner veltliner has a ton of structure and herbal complexity with just a hint of oak. Green-pepper note at the long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Auslese ** (Green Capsule) is clear, bright, fresh and flinty on the precise, cool and aromatic nose. The attack on the palate is fresh and piquant before the pure and crystalline...
