| 33872 | 33871 | US | This is an enjoyable wine with notes of cherry lozenge, dried cranberry, coffee and herbs.

| 33877 | 33876 | US | The texture on this Pinot is a little rustic, but the fruit is ripe in strawberries and raspberries. And the price, the lowest of Loring's many 2012 Pinot Noirs, makes it a relative bargain.

| 33878 | 33877 | US | Red cherries, pure and ripe, are the heart of this soft wine. It's a bit low in acidity, but a few drops of Petite Sirah, Carignane and Alicante help give it structure.

| 33879 | 33878 | US | A blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot, this is a mouthful of intense, smoky blueberry and leather.

| 33883 | 33882 | US | Lime and lemon notes waft on the nose of this slightly off-dry Riesling, accenting flavors of apple and pear.

| 33884 | 33883 | Italy | Funky aromas bring to mind wet fur, damp earth and a hint of barnyard. The palate offers sour cherry accented with notes of coffee bean and espresso.

| 33885 | 33884 | Italy | This blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet opens with earthy aromas reminiscent of mature black plums, along with whiffs of farmyard and wet fur.

| 33887 | 33886 | Spain | Cured meat, rubber, coffee grinds and a medicinal note complement the bold berry aromas in this red blend. In the mouth, this is somewhat grating and wide.

| 33889 | 33888 | France | While this wine certainly has a firmly tannic character, it is the fruit that shines. Black currants and perfumed spicy berry fruits are right up there along with the juicy acidity. This is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. It is well balanced although it needs to age. Drink from 2018. | | 89 | 20 | Bordeaux | Saint-Émilion | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Fleur du Roc 2012 Saint-Émilion | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Fleur du Roc |

| 33892 | 33891 | France | From the southern reaches of Margaux, this is already a velvet-textured wine with delicious black currant fruits and a touch of wood that is still showing.

| 33893 | 33892 | US | Smooth, dry and full bodied, this subtly floral wine has a rich texture that soothes and coats the mouth.

It smells like roses, tastes like pink grapefruit with a dash of kiwi, and has a long finish. | | 89 | 25 | California | Mendocino | | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Clif Family 2013 Gewürztraminer (Mendocino) | Gewürztraminer | Clif Family |
| 33894 | 33893 | France | This Tavel contains a hefty 20% Clairette (a white grape), in addition to the more common Grenache (Noir) and Cinsault. It's still a chunky, powerful version of Tavel, with raspberry and white chocolate notes buoyed by just enough citrus. It's broad and mouthcoating on the finish. | La Reine Des Bois | 89 | 34 | Rhône Valley | Tavel | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Domaine de la Mordorée 2014 La Reine Des Bois (Tavel) | Rosé | Domaine de la Mordorée |
| 33895 | 33894 | Austria | Slightly high-toned notions of rose petal mingle with lemon on nose and palate of this off-dry, richly textured yet balanced Gewürztraminer. This is not as heady as you may expect and will be a treat with spicy Asian dishes or ripe washed-rind cheeses. Lemon and rose petal make another very fetching appearance on the finish. | Spätlese | 89 | | Burgenland | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Elfenhof 2013 Spätlese Gewürztraminer (Burgenland) | Gewürztraminer | Elfenhof |
| 33896 | 33895 | US | This blend of Roussanne (33%), Grenache Blanc (30%), Viognier (22%) and Marsanne has light aromas of apricot, citrus and flowers.

Drinks best at 60 degrees. | Façon Blanc | 89 | 25 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Forgeron 2013 Façon Blanc White (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Rhône-style White Blend | Forgeron |
| 33897 | 33896 | Austria | Some fermentation aromas still swing in the nose but lemony freshness soon takes over on the nose and palate. This is light-bodied, slim and very, very fresh. Save this for a really hot day when you need cooling down. | Stoa | 89 | 20 | Kremstal | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Forstreiter 2014 Stoa Riesling (Kremstal) | Riesling | Forstreiter |
| 33898 | 33897 | Israel | Aromas of cranberry and yellow pepper prime the palate for flavors of cherry pie, cranberry, smoked meat, almond paste and baking spices. A sense of spicy coolness can sometimes overpower the cherry and cassis flavors, and light tannins persist into a finish that is equal parts baking spice and strawberry tart. | Alon | 89 | 21 | Upper Galilee | | | Mike DeSimone | @worldwineguys | Galil Mountain 2011 Alon Red (Upper Galilee) | Red Blend | Galil Mountain |
| 33899 | 33898 | Italy | Aromas of violet, earth, plum and spiced berry lead the nose. The palate delivers ripe black cherry, white pepper and clove alongside assertive tannins.

| 33900 | 33899 | Italy | Ripe black plum, dark berry and allspice aromas take shape in the glass.
