White Wine

Vinous, 93 points: 93+ (60% new oak; 5,600 cases produced): Bright lemon-yellow. Fully ripe but exhilaratingly sappy aromas of tropical fruits, lemon oil, fig and honeysuckle. Very sexy, complex and smooth on the palate, with expressive...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: This is such a lively white with ripe fruit, mangoes and limes. Then it turns to a salt character. Medium-to full-bodied, racy and intense. Fresh, citrusy finish. Drink now.

Vinous, 95 points: (92-95) (malo finished): Bright yellow. Candied lime, underripe pineapple and white peach on the nose, complicated by notes of bergamot and crushed stone. Plush and intense but youthfully reserved, conveying savory...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2015 Riesling Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese (Golden Capsule) opens with a very clear and aromatic white stone fruit aroma intermixed with clear and smoky aromas. Sweet, lush and intense, this is a concentrated, already...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2016 Chardonnay Richard Dinner Vineyard comes charging out of the glass with super intense grapefruit, green mango, lime leaves and lemon curd scents plus touches of baking bread, coriander seed, crushed rocks and...

Burghound, 93 points: This could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its ripe yet cool, airy and refined nose of green fruit, mineral reduction, sea breeze and iodine. There is positively gorgeous intensity and laser-like precision to the...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Wow. The complex aromas are so compelling with sliced apples, lemons and cream. Some minerals and mustard seeds, too. Full-bodied, yet vivid and bright with sliced green apples, lime and green mangoes. Excellent intensity...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Racy, with a minerally underpinning and floral, apple and lime blossom flavors. Balanced in a steely way, showing plenty of stone, citrus and spice notes on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2033. 107 cases imported. –BS

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: Starting with the 2016 Chardonnay Estate, this fabulous wine is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage and isn’t far off the more expensive Monte Bello release. Loaded with stone fruit and white flower nuances as...
