Van Loveren 2002 Riesling (Robertson)

  1. $13
Aromas of golden apples and raisins are lifted by pretty blossom aromas and a zing of lime juice. The clean acidity paired with flavors of lime and grapefruit, make this very pleasant and fresh. —K.F.  — K.F.  (4/1/2003)

Van Loveren 2011 Chenin No. 5 Chenin Blanc (Robertson)

  • Best Buy
  1. $11
A refreshing and approachable wine, with forward notes of green plum, plantain, Granny Smith apple and lime on the nose and palate. There’s a slight roundness to the midpalate, but a vibrant twang lifts the finish.  — L.B.  (7/1/2012)

Good intensity of fruit aromas and flavors are matched with a light, easy mouthfeel and clean finish. Aromas of guava, mango, yellow peach and sweet pineapple flood the nose and palate. Drink now.  — L.B.  (7/1/2012)

Van Loveren 2001 Reserve Chardonnay (Robertson)

  1. $16
Citrus, toast and cream aromas are followed up by watery citrus on the palate. There’s enough scidity to hold interest through the herbal, toasted finish. —K.F.  — K.F.  (4/1/2003)

Van Loveren 2003 Sauvignon Blanc (Robertson)

  1. $10
Sauvignon Blanc with unusual acacia wood-like aromatics and a slightly overripe fruit quality. The feel is easy, almost plush, and on the sweet and soft side for a grape known more for zesty acidity and tangy flavors. Could have everyday appeal as a Chardonnay alternative.  — M.M.  (12/15/2004)

Van Loveren 2002 Reserve Chardonnay (Robertson)

  1. $16
The thin fruit here is utterly overwhelmed by oak from stem to stern.  — M.M.  (7/1/2004)

Van Loveren 2003 Reserve Chardonnay (Robertson)

  1. $15
A nose of hay and sweet perfume opens to overripe and slightly oxidized flavors. Just too soft and too sweet.  — M.M.  (11/15/2004)
