93 points Wine Advocate"The 2020 Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett opens clear, bright and complex on the subtle and refined, beautifully flinty and delicately fruity nose. Salty-piquant and highly stimulating straightaway yet still far too young to...

92 points James Suckling“A juicy, vivid and attractive grillo with notes of sliced apples, dried pears and warm herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Plenty of juicy character with a precise finish.” 91 points...

95+ points Jeb Dunnuck“Coming from depressingly low yields of just 26 hectoliters per hectare (the lowest since 1991), the 2020 Château Lagrange checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot that was raised in 60% new...

92 points James Suckling"A bright and crisp white with sliced lemon, lime and hints of grass on the nose and palate. Flowers too. Medium-bodied, fresh and vivid. Hints of green papaya. Firm phenolics frame it."

91 points Wine Spectator"An expressive and distinctive white, showing plump flavors of Key lime pie, with apricot, peach and ripe melon notes. Freshly grated ginger, candied green apple and lemon verbena linger on the sleek, juicy finish."

94 points James Suckling"Nicely baked apples, ripe citrus, stones, warm spices and a touch of vanilla. Tense and medium- to full-bodied on the palate, with a saline touch to the lengthy, flavorful finish. Fresh, composed and very extensive." Jancis...
