91 points Mark Squires (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 EL White is a 70/30 blend of Viognier and Chardonnay aged for 12 months in French oak (one-third each of new, second and third use barrels). It comes in at 14% alcohol. Like its red counterpart this issue, this is from one of the highest vineyards in the Northern Hemisphere. No doubt as a result, this is a fresh and elegant white that has a trace of delicacy while remaining persistent and crisp. Handling its wood beautifully, this seems even fresher than its statistics would suggest. Refined and sophisticated, this drinks nicely now. I'll be curious, though, to see if anything interesting happens to it with a few years of age. That will be this brand's next big test. So far, it is passing them all pretty easily. Drink: 2019-2026. (Apr 2019)"
