32581 | 32580 | US | Layers of toast, char and dill abound on this oak-driven, full-bodied Chardonnay. There are glimpses of fresh apple and lemon on the palate as well, but they peek through a bit shyly behind a curtain. Further cellaring may help to integrate the oak. | Reserve | 86 | 25 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Dr. Konstantin Frank 2013 Reserve Chardonnay (Finger Lakes) | Chardonnay | Dr. Konstantin Frank |
32582 | 32581 | US | Electric pink in color, this brings wild strawberry, cherry, watermelon and spice aromas. The palate is broad and heavy, lacking lift. | Blondie Rosé of | 86 | 20 | Washington | Rattlesnake Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Finn Hill 2016 Blondie Rosé of Sangiovese (Rattlesnake Hills) | Sangiovese | Finn Hill |
32583 | 32582 | Chile | Cantaloupe aromas lead to a fresh palate with snap. Nectarine and tangerine flavors run lean and clean on their way to a juicy, no-nonsense finish. | Boya | 86 | 15 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Garces Silva 2016 Boya Rosé (Leyda Valley) | Rosé | Garces Silva |
32584 | 32583 | US | This big soft wine smells and tastes a little sweet, as an aroma like maple syrup leads to flavors of blackberry jam, cinnamon and butter. | | 86 | 11 | California | Clarksburg | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Gen5 2015 Merlot (Clarksburg) | Merlot | Gen5 |
32585 | 32584 | US | This medium-bodied wine is like a liquid fruit bowl, pouring out apple, melon, peach and banana flavors that taste almost sweet. It has a broad mouthfilling texture, a rather soft balance and a lingering fruity finish. | Mama Mia Estate Grown | 86 | 24 | California | Sierra Foothills | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Naggiar 2016 Mama Mia Estate Grown White (Sierra Foothills) | White Blend | Naggiar |
32586 | 32585 | Spain | Dry apple and pine-needle aromas are punchy on this blend of 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Macabeo. An uneventful palate is fresh but simple. This wine tastes mostly of bitter grape skins and almond skins. Modest apple and grapefruit notes show on the finish. | Bruberry Blanc | 86 | 27 | Catalonia | Montsant | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Portal del Montsant 2015 Bruberry Blanc White (Montsant) | White Blend | Portal del Montsant |
32587 | 32586 | US | Incorporating 30% of the variety in Musqué clone, this wine offers fresh flavors of green apple, grass and pea shoots, as well as a distinct notion of oak. Aged in both new and neutral Acacia, as well as stainless, it has a spicy quality akin to lemongrass that lingers on the finish. | Lizzy's Vineyard | 86 | 32 | California | Oakville | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Tamber Bey 2016 Lizzy's Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Oakville) | Sauvignon Blanc | Tamber Bey |
32588 | 32587 | US | From Canoe Ridge Vineyard, this delivers raspberry, herb, tire rubber and spice aromas and medium-bodied dark fruit flavors.

32589 | 32588 | Portugal | Pure Touriga Nacional gives a perfumed, ripe and richly juicy wine. Tannic structure offers a base for the acidity and black currant fruit, but it's soft enough to drink now. | Vila Jardim | 87 | 12 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta Vale do Armo 2011 Vila Jardim Touriga Nacional (Tejo) | Touriga Nacional | Quinta Vale do Armo |
32590 | 32589 | Portugal | Light and fruity, this is a crisply citrus wine, soft and fresh. Grapefruit and apricots are both there, showing the crisp and the rich side to this immediately attractive wine. | Lagar | 87 | 15 | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quintas de Melgaço 2013 Lagar Alvarinho (Vinho Verde) | Alvarinho | Quintas de Melgaço |
32591 | 32590 | US | For such a deep-colored wine, it's the lighter red fruits and minerality that comprise the aromas in this GSM with Petite Sirah. Cranberry and crushed slate rise up most prominently, but the blackberry dominance on the palate better corresponds to the color, and the caramelized finish is a nice touch. | Château Duplantier Cuvée | 87 | 48 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Rideau 2012 Château Duplantier Cuvée Red (Santa Ynez Valley) | Red Blend | Rideau |
32592 | 32591 | US | Flavorful and sweet but not cloying, it displays plenty of floral and apricot aromas, ripe honeylike flavors and a rich finish. Will pair nicely with cheese and salted nuts as an apéritif, or with biscotti for dessert. | | 87 | 16 | California | Yolo County | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Rosa d'Oro 2012 Muscat (Yolo County) | Muscat | Rosa d'Oro |
32593 | 32592 | Chile | Dry, spicy, crisp aromas of cool-climate red fruits come with a mild covering of sweet oak. This is a touch resiny on the palate, with woody, spicy flavors of plum and raspberry. An oaky, lightly herbal finish is juicy in feel. | Reserva | 87 | 12 | Casablanca Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Santa Carolina 2012 Reserva Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley) | Pinot Noir | Santa Carolina |
32594 | 32593 | Italy | Intense aromas of mature pear and Granny Smith apples carry over to the palate along with lemon-lime and honey dew melon. Crisp acidity gives this a clean, refreshing finish. | | 87 | 19 | Northeastern Italy | Colli Orientali del Friuli | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Sirch 2013 Pinot Grigio (Colli Orientali del Friuli) | Pinot Grigio | Sirch |
32595 | 32594 | Italy | This vibrant wine discloses aromas of delicate wild flowers and stone fruit. The bright palate offers juicy yellow peach, golden apple, lemon and lime zest alongside crisp, refreshing acidity. | | 87 | 20 | Northeastern Italy | Colli Orientali del Friuli | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Sirch 2013 Ribolla Gialla (Colli Orientali del Friuli) | Ribolla Gialla | Sirch |
32596 | 32595 | Portugal | This is a spicy, nutmeg-flavored wine. Its wood aging plays well with the aromatic fruitiness that brings out yellow fruits as well as light acidity. It needs no aging. | Terra D'Alter Reserva Branco | 87 | 20 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Terras de Alter 2012 Terra D'Alter Reserva Branco White (Alentejano) | Portuguese White | Terras de Alter |
32597 | 32596 | Chile | Peppery, herbal lead aromas settle on lactic, chocolaty oak and berry scents. This feels fresh, grabby and fairly well balanced. Flavors of blackberry, cassis and spice filter down to a solid feeling finish with flavors of cassis, herbs and spice. | Sibaris Reserva Especial | 87 | 17 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Undurraga 2012 Sibaris Reserva Especial Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Undurraga |
32598 | 32597 | Portugal | Ripe and full-bodied, this is a rich and juicy wine. With tannins kept in the background, the front is full of blackberry acidity and jammy fruitiness that's balanced by the fresher black currant aftertaste. | Marias da Malhadinha | 87 | 55 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Herdade da Malhadinha Nova 2010 Marias da Malhadinha Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Herdade da Malhadinha Nova |
32599 | 32598 | Portugal | While the wine has plenty of juicy fruit, it also has a heavy hand with wood that gives a bitter, spice and pepper character. Densely textured, it's tough for the moment although it will round out. Drink from 2017. | Ciranda | 87 | 8 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Herdade dos Coelheiros 2012 Ciranda Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Herdade dos Coelheiros |
32600 | 32599 | Portugal | Almonds and ripe yellow fruits combine in this surprisingly warm Vinho Verde. It has weight and richness as well as an immediately attractive fruity style.

32601 | 32600 | Austria | A combination of dried white currant, green apple and lemon makes for a refreshing, clean palate with a medium, zesty finish. | | 87 | 16 | Niederösterreich | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Landhaus Mayer 2013 Riesling (Niederösterreich) | Riesling | Landhaus Mayer |
32602 | 32601 | US | There are complicated aromas and flavors to this blend from Santa Barbara County pioneer Rick Longoria. It starts with scents of wet dog, pine, pipe tobacco and peppercorns. The flavors recall gamy meat, like roasted lamb, with hints of stewed plum as well. Those who don't like constantly analyzing each sip may find this wine challenging. | Blues Cuvée | 87 | 30 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Longoria 2011 Blues Cuvée Red (Santa Barbara County) | Red Blend | Longoria |
32603 | 32602 | US | Comprised of 63% Zinfandel, 32% Petite Sirah and 5% Pinotage. McNab Ridge is among the few Mendocino producers to make Pinotage, so it's fitting that the variety finds its way into Coro, one of the smaller offerings of the vintage at 65 cases. Expect grippy tannins, plenty of black fruit and healthy doses of coffee and leather around a soft, medium body. | Coro Mendocino | 87 | 40 | California | Mendocino | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | McNab Ridge 2010 Coro Mendocino Red (Mendocino) | Red Blend | McNab Ridge |
32604 | 32603 | Portugal | Ripe with black currant acidity and layers of firm wood, this is a rich and fruity wine. It has young tannins, bright acidity and a firm, dry aftertaste.

32605 | 32604 | Portugal | This is a richly ripe wine, Port-like in its sweet tannins and density. Layers of acidity accompany dry tannins and a firm while fruity character.

32606 | 32605 | Italy | This lively wine is loaded with sensations of spring wildflowers, tart green apple, pear and nectarine. Crisp acidity gives a refreshing finish. Enjoy this as an apéritif or pair it with summer salads. | Villa Canlungo | 87 | 18 | Northeastern Italy | Collio | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Collavini 2013 Villa Canlungo Pinot Grigio (Collio) | Pinot Grigio | Collavini |
32607 | 32606 | Portugal | A pale yellow-colored wine, it's full of ripe white peach, melon and plums. It's rich but also shows bright acidity and a touch of citrus. It's an easy wine to drink now–2016. | Pancas Branco | 87 | 12 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Companhia das Quintas 2013 Pancas Branco White (Lisboa) | Portuguese White | Companhia das Quintas |
32608 | 32607 | US | Intense and smoky, this is an old-vine Zinfandel blended with Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Although most of the grapes come from Lodi, smaller amounts hail from the Russian River Valley and Atlas Peak. Thick-walled and burly in licorice, earth and black and red berry fruit, it offers substantial texture and length. Not a wine for the meek. | | 87 | 30 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Coup de Grace 2011 Red (Lodi) | Red Blend | Coup de Grace |
32609 | 32608 | France | Fruity and open, it has some steely texture but the dominant character is ripe citrus and yellow fruits that burst out of the glass. It should age until 2015 but is already delicious. | | 87 | | Loire Valley | Sancerre | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine des Levrys 2013 Sancerre | Sauvignon Blanc | Domaine des Levrys |
32610 | 32609 | Chile | Cassis and plum aromas come with a whiff of rubber. This is clean and ripe in feel, with good body and a bit of structure. Flavors of cassis and black cherry show a chocolaty edge in front of a juicy, pure, direct finish. | Reserva | 87 | 10 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Leyendas de Familia 2012 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Maule Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Leyendas de Familia |
