2015 Proprietary Blend Wine

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A solid dose of violety florals, ripe plum and dark berry fruit. Tannins push this wine along while a youthful energy pervades. Structure, concentration and balance. Best from 2020.

Wine Spectator, 89 points: This red is dense with cherry, strawberry and floral notes, building to a juicy finish. The structure is there too, but this is more about the fruit. Sangiovese and Colorino. Drink now through 2023. 6,983 cases made. –BS

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is so balanced and articulated with precise aromas of currants, blackberries and cherries, as well as a mint character. Full body, firm and fine tannins and a juicy, subtle finish. Drink in 2021.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Named after the north-facing plot where the Tempranillo grapes grow, the 2015 Norte is Tempranillo that fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts followed by malolactic. Élevage was in French barriques and...

Vinous, 93 points: Bright ruby-red. Pungent scents of black raspberry, boysenberry, licorice, minerals and fresh herbs. Sweeter than the Ciel du Cheval, and a bit more pliant and forward. If the Ciel is characterized by blueberry, this wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Incorporating 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 15% Syrah, the 2015 Southern Blend reveals incipiently complex aromas of blackberries, cherries, licorice, fennel seed and garrigue. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied...

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, 94 points: The 2015 Red Blend Claret is another intense, pedigreed wine from White Rock. Soft and racy relative to the estate's Cabernets, the Claret will also be ready to drink earlier than is the norm here. The balance of fruit...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Pied de Baud, a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault, offers compelling scents of rose petals and raspberries on the nose. While not as richly textural as some of the other...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Consisting of one-third each Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Coralie et Floriane is a spectacular wine. It's a blend of lots from three different lieux-dits, each with a different soil type...
