Andy Howard MW reviews 2014 element 20 on jancis robinson.com

A new release from winemaker John Worontschak, Element 20 has broken with tradition by switching from a Bacchus/Chardonnay blend to one utilising 35% Chardonnay 35% Pinot Gris and 30% Pinot Blanc. And a very successful switch it is. Plump and juicy in the mouth with apricot/peach characters, plenty of acidity, with very good integration of subtle oak characters from barrel-fermentation, followed by 11 months less ageing. A fine still, English dry white. 16
