2016 White Wine

James Halliday, 99 points: The perfumed perfection of the bouquet and the wonders of the palate, with its ever-shifting mosaic of white stone fruit, rock melon, grapefruit, Granny Smith apple and custard apple reign supreme. Oak? Yes, it's there...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: This is a seamless, Old World and classic white, integrated in salty oak with a beautiful opening nose of lemon rind. Lifted, persistent acidity gives it focus and freshness, as a taste of briny oyster shell, lemongrass...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: My favorite of the Adrianna whites, the 2016 White Stones Chardonnay was cropped from a low-yielding, cool and wet year, very unusual weather in Mendoza. It's sharp, austere, mineral and long. No matter how impressed I...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: (17/20) Barrel sample. Blue schist in parts. On Cambrian soil (also in Banyuls). Very slow fermentation. Super-clean nose but very solid rather than fruity on the palate. Vibrates on the end. Very terroir rather than...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: This is really amazing with an exotic dried-fruit character of pineapple and mangoes. Full-bodied, rich and fruity with cream, pie-crust and caramel character. Crazy chardonnay with a little Jura style and some flor...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Densely fruited, featuring yellow apple, peach, pear and mirabelle plum flavors, but lithe and pure as well, with light floral, quinine and salted butter notes rippling underneath. The very long finish shows latent energy...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: Jules Taylor comes through with yet another classy wine, this time in the form of a medium-bodied Pinot Gris with flesh on its bones. Lifted pear, peach and white pepper aromas continue to the palate. Medium-bodied with...

Wine Enthusiast, 91 points: This is entirely barrel-fermented and French-oak aged, making for a generous, full-bodied lushness on the palate. Creamy tropical fruit, pear and melon are met by sublime texture and well-integrated oak, finishing in a...

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: Sliced papaya and mangoes, dried apricots and spices. Medium to full body, lots of fleshy tropical fruit and a textured, mouth-filling finish. Drink now or hold.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A white with a pretty cooked-apple and vanilla character to it. Medium to full body, a lightly oily palate and a flavorful finish. Made from nascetta. Drink now.

Vinous, 93 points: The 2016 Chardonnay The North Slope Vineyard fleshes out beautifully in the glass. Textured, resonant and inviting, the 2016 offers a compelling interplay of dense fruit, lifted aromatics and gorgeous mis-weight...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Rich and well-spiced flavors of ripe apple, peach pastry and almond tart feature buttery accents. Hazelnut cream and clove notes linger on the finish. Drink now through 2022. 1,290 cases made. — KM

Vinous, 92 points: 95% of 2016 Chablis Les Vaillons Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru comes from Les Roncières and is aged 40% in used wood and 60% in stainless steel. This offers attractive orange blossom, citrus peel and flinty scents, with just a...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This taste like a top GG and has a personality entirely of its own with complex wild herb and licorice notes, the fruit aromas discrete and delicate. In the mouth this is remarkably sleek and elegant for such a powerful...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2016 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett displays upfront fruit of perfectly ripe and lush stone fruits. On the palate, this is a very salty, lush and piquant Kabinett with lingering salinity and mineral tension...
