2018 White Wine

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is a longtime favorite, due to its purity of fruit and freshness, showing green-papaya, lime, lemon and green-apple character. Medium body. Crisp acidity. No wood. Steely and fruity at the end. Drink now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2018 Chardonnay comes 95% from Carneros and 5% from Napa Valley. Barrel fermented in 33% new oak, it spent eight months on the lees, and 18% went through malolactic. It was bottled June 1, 2019. Slowly, it reveals...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Well-knit and powerfully structured, with unctuous flavors of ripe pear, apple pastry and dried mango, filled with toasty notes. The creamy finish lingers with hints of dried sage and quince paste. Drink now through 2025...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Philippe Melka makes this perennial stunner for Robin Daniel Lail, the U.S. representative to the Porto Protocol for climate action. It opens in a white flower aroma, with a palate reminiscent of lemon peel and wet stone...

MW Bob Campbell, 94 points: Attractive, aromatic chardonnay with stone fruit, citrus and spicy oak flavours. Attractive wine with subtle fruit sweetness and a lingering finish. A stylish wine that achieves remarkable consistency.

jebdunnuck.com, 90 points: Starting with the base Chardonnay, the 2018 Chardonnay is a ripe, nicely textured, concentrated white that has classy buttered citrus and orchard fruit as well as a touch of background oak. It's rock-solid.

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Sliced apples and limes on the nose with grassy and chamomile notes. But then it turns to honeysuckle, chalk and minerals. Full-bodied with papaya, sliced-pear and green-pineapple flavors. Tight and fresh at the end...

Vinous, 94 points: (VN 92-94 points) The 2018 Chablis Mont de Milieu 1er Cru is impressive. Rich, pliant and beautifully layered, the Mont de Milieu is one of the highlights in this range. Perfumed aromatics and silky fruit add to its...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is the first vintage of this chardonnay and semillon blend. Very dense and agile with a solid core of fruit. It is pushing the limit for Argentine whites. No malo. Totally cool. Full and foursquare. A new dimension...

Wine Enthusiast, 88 points: Briny Pacific Coast aromas include notes of green citrus. A lean, tangy palate has lime juice kick and acidity. Grapefruit and lime flavors precede a juicy finish that makes you salivate. This was made to go with ceviche...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: Light-footed and lean, this zesty off-dry Riesling is enticingly smoky and earthen on the nose, but the palate reverberates with juicy pineapple, mango and lemon flavors. It's a juicy, intensely fruity sip but still...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This has very attractive richness and complexity. Fresh, nectarine and peach aromas and flavors are delivered in such energetically textural and powerful style. Impressive length and focus. Drink now. Screw cap.

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This has plenty of rich, stone-fruit aromas with a fresh and quite crisp palate that has good focus and a sleek, gentle, pastry-like finish. Plenty to offer now, but is quite taut and linear. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
