2015 White Wine

Vinous, 93 points: Mindego Ridge's 2015 Chardonnay is especially rich and opulent in this vintage. Apricot, peach, brioche, orange confit, tropical fruit and butter are all pushed forward. Exotic, bold and racy to the core, the Chardonnay...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: 2015 was a riper and more powerful vintage, and the 2015 L'Etoile Savagnin was produced with grapes from two plots on marl soils and fermented in stainless steel. It ages in barrels that are initially full but are left...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: From vines planted in 1972, the 2015 Chardonnay Ritchie Vineyard is one of the gems in the lineup. Rocking notes of caramelized citrus, lemon curd, salty minerality and loads of marzipan characteristics, full body, a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: A 50/50 field blend of Savagnin and Chardonnay, the 2015 L'Etoile En Banode comes from a plot that names the wine, a vineyard planted in 1970. The two varieties are picked and fermented together, as they want to focus on...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Haag's 2015 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese is very clear, elegant and aromatic on the nose, with perfectly ripe Riesling and cool, mineral flavors. Clear, lush and fresh, almost piquant on the palate, this is...

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...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Expressive and complex, featuring an explosion of marmalade, candied lemon peel, peach custard and grilled grapefruit flavors. The smooth, succulent body is highlighted by spice and floral accents, with a juicy core of...

Decanter, 97 points: From an intriguing blend of two-thirds Marsanne and Roussanne, with Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay, aged in oak, half of which is new. The wine is rounded, showing nutty, biscuity notes from the new wood, and...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2015 Chardonnay Golden Slope captures an attractive stylistic middle ground that expresses notable textural richness and creaminess while retaining a good bit of aromatic nuance. Orchard fruit, wild flowers and a...

Burghound, 89 points: A more elegant and refined nose offers up notes of acacia blossom, pear, apple and a hint of citrus zest. The rich and round flavors aren't as voluminous but they're sleeker while retaining a seductive mouth feel and...

Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This wine's Honeycrisp apple and Applejacks cereal scents lead the nose before bold layers of luxurious texture confirm its complexity and overall appeal on the palate. Densely packed with flavor, it also shows plenty of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Riesling Bernkasteler Badstube Spätlese (Green Capsule) is one of the most reductive wines that I tasted at Weingut MM in February 2017. The wine opens pure, flinty and with yeasty aromas whereas any fruit...

Vinous, 92 points: Just bottled, the 2015 Chardonnay is shaping up to be a gorgeous wine. The warmer vintage has resulted in a slightly richer style of Chardonnay, although the house style built on energy and tension is still very much in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: 95-97. Tasted from the barrel and still dusty in its ripe golden color, the 2015 Riesling Uhlen R 'VDP Grosse Lage' (which is always bottled late) combines super ripe, rich and intense tropical fruit aromas (pineapples)...
