Cooked apple, lemon curd and light vanilla on the nose, together with stone, mineral and some dried flowers. Medium to full body with a creamy texture and beautiful fruit. Hints of vanilla and pie crust in the aftertaste...

There are people in life who you hang out with and feel energised and then there are others who suck your spirit - like the Death Eaters à la Harry Potter. The 2019 Touche Mitaine is thankfully the former. It is a...

(90-92 points) The mildly exotic aromas of yellow orchard fruit, petrol and quinine give way to dense and sappy flavors that also possess fine volume on the powerful, saline and bone-dry finale. This is coming along very...

This wine offers ripe yellow fruit and light spice flavors. Juiciness comes with the citrus tang, allied to a touch of toast and final tight, textured aftertaste. Age the wine more and drink from 2022. — Roger Voss

Arista's Russian River Chardonnay is blended from their portfolio of single-vineyard wines, rather than from purchased or declassified fruit. The 2019 Chardonnay Russian River Valley incorporates around 18% to 20% new oak...

I always love this white, and the 2019 Château Valandraud Virginie De Valandraud Blanc is terrific, with notes of bright lemon, quince, and honeyed peach in a ripe, medium-bodied, concentrated, brilliantly focused and...

2019 is a more concentrated and riper year, but the 2019 Terra Vermella felt fresher and more vibrant in the palate than the 2018 I tasted next to it, despite 2018 being a cooler year and both wines having similar alcohol...

Smells like wild peaches, really floral and perfumed, parma violets, you might say there's Viognier in it from the nose. The palate is weighty, you get a more dense texture than some of the others, it really makes an...

Old vines, planted in 1955, give this wine great concentration and depth. It offers a dense, powerful display of ripe white fruits, textured and lit by acidity at the end. The wine is ready to drink. Organic. ROGER VOSS

A bright, high-pitched style, with makrut lime, green apple and green melon flavors laced with a jasmine note. A subtle mineral edge provides balance on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 850 cases made, 170 cases imported.

The newest vintage of Bonneau du Martray points the direction the estate will now chart. This is an imperious wine, powerful, concentrated, and richly aromatic. Pronounced butter and baking spice aromas from the cask...

This is a clean, fresh, crisp and straightforward wine. If there could be a standard issue Willamette Valley Chardonnay, this would set the mold. The nicely ripened fruit mixes green and yellow apples, citrus rind and a...

Powerfully ripe yet racy and thrilling with acidity, this deeply concentrated Chardonnay exhibits a masterful balance of pure, persistent citrus and orchard fruit against a deeply earthen, savoury core of minerality...

2019 proved a difficult vintage; down 15% due to the difficult flowering, the heat and lack of water. Despite all of these factors, this wine - assembled from ten different parcels - is exceedingly lovely, with ripe...

The 2019 Chardonnay Old Stones has pretty golden apple fruit with wafts of pie crust, beeswax and flowers, while the palate offers layered savory fruits and linear acidity, which make for an expressive, energetic finish.- EB

Pale yellow in colour, the Simmonet-Febvre Blanchot has the typical white flower bouquet of this vineyard. It is not the most powerful grand cru by any means, but this is a pretty wine with very good length, to be enjoyed...

(98+ points) On another level, the 2019 Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc is more reductive and tight, with a brilliant, concentrated, full-bodied, layered profile on the palate. White currants, quinces, scorched earth, and...

A selection from the 270 acres of vines at Sonoma-Cutrer’s Russian River estate, this wine’s fresh-cut apple flavors follow a clean line of cool, brisk, lemony acidity. It’s lean with a little buttery softness at the...

The 2019 Chardonnay Le Rayon Vert comes from fruit grown on Sonoma Mountain. It slides out of the glass with graceful notes of lemon tart, lime leaves, and fresh grapefruit, leading to suggestions of almond croissant, sea...

Rounded with a rich mouthfeel of oak and tropical fruit, this wine offers layers and layers of complexity, structure and nuanced acidity. The classic elements of apple, pear and hint of pineapple are topped in nutmeg...

A real burst of fresh apricot and peach, lemon verbena and green tea. This has the salt and power of Château-Grillet, the confit lemon peel on the finish, the salted nuts. Very full-bodied indeed, very rounded and long...

(92-95 points) Pale yellow. An effortless nose, graciously ripe, not exaggerated, yellow plum, high acidity here, a saline note even, impeccable intensity though I feel it was unfair to serve this after the world beating...
