2015 White Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2015 Chardonnay is reared in a neutral barrel, with no malolactic fermentation. It has a full-on expressive nose of fresh grapefruit, white peaches and clotted cream with hints of fresh ginger and nutmeg. Medium to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Absolutely spectacular is the 2015 Chardonnay Torchiana Beresini Vineyard. This is an outrageous Chardonnay with great acidity, super-duper concentration with notes of white currants, orange blossoms, caramelized citrus...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: Broad-shouldered, with intensity to the peach, honey, apple tart and spice flavors. A salty, minerally note creeps in, while the tangy acidity keeps this focused and long. Drink now through 2023. 500 cases imported. –BS

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Offers a big, broad feel, with layers of glazed pear, apple and peach falling over each other, backed by fresh ginger, honeysuckle and quince notes. Everything pulls together through the finish, with green tea accents and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Guigal’s 2015 Condrieu is a blockbuster that, if not for its big brother, would be one of the wines of the vintage. Aged in one-third new barrels and two-thirds in tank, it’s a rich, unctuous, thrillingly textured beauty...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: This vineyard, just behind the Bourgeois winery, has the steepest slope in Sancerre. With a brilliant exposure to the sun it is capable of producing totally ripe rich wines. This example, packed with mango and apricot...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: 99+ Pure and flinty, with perfectly ripe stone fruit aromas that are seamlessly intertwined with the flavors of crushing stones, the 2015 Riesling Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese *** (White Capsule) is powerful, rich and...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Always impressive in its grasp of power and grace, this white is memorable from start to finish, beginning with a dark golden-hay color that dazzles in the glass. A strong floral component of jasmine invites on the nose...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: (WA95-96 points) From granite soils, Humbrecht's 2015 Riesling Brand is terribly pure, fine and highly precise, delivering crushed stones and lemon perfume, as if it were another Sommerberg. Exciting! On the palate, this...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (92-95 points) Pale, bright yellow. Knockout nose combines white peach, white pepper, lime and menthol; nothing overripe about this despite the hot year and steep south-facing site. Very rich, peachy wine with noteworthy...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) The cool and restrained nose is mostly comprised by notes of mineral reduction though there are background nuances of iodine, pear and white flowers in evidence. I very much like the power and intensity...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Features a wide range of apple, green melon, ginger and green plum notes gliding throughout, with the off-dry edge imparting a flattering feel. Latent minerality lengthens the finish. Best from 2017 through 2030. 300...

View From The Cellar, 98 points: Along with a few of the GGs from Klaus-Peter Keller, the Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck is probably the greatest dry Riesling produced in 2015. This young wine is the stuff that legends are made from, as it soars from the...
