| 34306 | 34305 | US | This is quite light, with a leafy character and barely ripe fruit flavors that hint at tomato paste. Some pineapple and vanilla flavors come in, making this a rather odd, though still interesting, budget bottle. | | 85 | 16 | Washington | Washington | Washington Other | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Boomtown 2011 Syrah (Washington) | Syrah | Boomtown |
| 34307 | 34306 | US | This is a pretty good value for a Pinot Noir from one of California's better districts.

| 34309 | 34308 | Chile | After a cheesy opening, the bouquet shows tropical fruits but little more. In the mouth, this is round and heavy, with very ripe flavors of tropical fruits and melon. A big, honeyed finish with vanilla and banana flavors is quite sweet. | Vieilles Vignes | 85 | 20 | Cachapoal Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Château Los Boldos 2012 Vieilles Vignes Chardonnay (Cachapoal Valley) | Chardonnay | Château Los Boldos |
| 34310 | 34309 | France | Bright, ripe strawberry and cherry flavors are contrasted with the firm tannins of wood aging. This is a very young wine, with layers of acidity, spice and toast. Drink from 2016. | | 85 | 30 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Clément Klur 2011 Pinot Noir (Alsace) | Pinot Noir | Clément Klur |

| 34312 | 34311 | US | Hints of nuts add a savory tone to subtle apple flavors on this dry Chardonnay.

| 34313 | 34312 | US | Spicy and fruity on the nose, with scents of black cherry pie, this Finger Lakes Barbera balances lush cassis and vanilla flavors, with a shock of lemony acidity. There's a faint note of tomato leaf throughout, but it finishes moderately long, with a flurry of soft tannins. | Estate Reserve | 85 | 16 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Stony Lonesome 2010 Estate Reserve Barbera (Finger Lakes) | Barbera | Stony Lonesome |
| 34291 | 34290 | Chile | This Merlot smells rooty, with licorice and mint to boot. A wide, sort of flabby palate is, at its base, oaky as can be; there's also stewed plum and herbal blackberry flavors in front of a blocky, chunky finish. | Alpha | 86 | 25 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Montes 2011 Alpha Merlot (Colchagua Valley) | Merlot | Montes |
| 34292 | 34291 | Chile | Every vintage this wine pulls the same score, so there's something to be said about consistency. This bottling is neutral on the nose, with hints of dust and melon. The palate is clean and citrusy in feel, with melon and green herb notes. An easy finish seems right given the precedings. | Reserva | 86 | 12 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Palo Alto 2013 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Maule Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Palo Alto |
| 34293 | 34292 | Greece | Violet, crushed herb and mint aromas start this Agiorgitiko. On the palate, coca, vanilla, red berry and a savory spin give it depth. Fresh and friendly but substantive, this wine can age. | Old Vines Single Vineyard | 86 | 30 | Nemea | | | Susan Kostrzewa | @suskostrzewa | Papaioannou 2006 Old Vines Single Vineyard Agiorgitiko (Nemea) | Agiorgitiko | Papaioannou |
| 34294 | 34293 | Chile | Inky, grapy aromas come across hard and reduced. This is pinchy and tannic on the palate, with dark berry, game and crusty flavors. On the finish, it's hard-driving, with heat and tannic grab. | | 85 | 19 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Maquis 2011 Carmenère (Colchagua Valley) | Carmenère | Maquis |
| 34295 | 34294 | US | This Chardonnay underwent aging in new French oak and sur lie battonage, yielding a wine that's certainly rich, but also jammy with flavors of pineapples, oranges and vanilla cream. | Estate | 85 | 26 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | Midnight 2012 Estate Chardonnay (Paso Robles) | Chardonnay | Midnight |
| 34296 | 34295 | Italy | Marche's Passerina grape is known for making easy-drinking and enjoyable wines like this one.

| 34297 | 34296 | Italy | Oak and alcohol aromas dominate this wine made from 100% Montepulciano. The palate delivers café au lait and espresso, blueberry, chocolate and mint alongside the warmth of alcohol.

| 34298 | 34297 | Chile | There's a lot of oak on this value-priced Chard, to the point that any fruit aromas are blanketed. In the mouth, there's ample acidity affording good cut, while flavors of pear and apple are spiced up by aforementioned forceful oak. Fortunately a resiny tasting finish isn't too heavy | Reserva Espiritu de Los Andes Estate Bottled | 85 | 10 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Santa Alicia 2013 Reserva Espiritu de Los Andes Estate Bottled Chardonnay (Maipo Valley) | Chardonnay | Santa Alicia |

| 34314 | 34313 | France | A coppery orange color, this opens with aromas of mealy melon, peach and strawberry. The palate is a departure from the nose—surprisingly astringent in tart currant and red-plum skin flavors that finish sharp and fast. | Les Landes | 84 | 14 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Saint-Chinian | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Terre de Loups 2015 Les Landes Rosé (Saint-Chinian) | Rosé | Terre de Loups |
| 34315 | 34314 | Chile | This opens with grassy, green aromas of candied raspberry. A chunky palate delivers candied, caramelized, slightly weedy red-fruit flavors. Not a lot besides acidity and heat is driving the finish. | Reserva | 84 | 10 | Bío Bío Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Agustinos 2015 Reserva Pinot Noir (Bío Bío Valley) | Pinot Noir | Agustinos |

| 34317 | 34316 | France | Herbal tones of bay and rosemary are upfront on the nose of this copper-pink rosé, grounded by notes of small red berries, currants and watermelon rind. It's light and easy, with fleeting flavors and a quick close. Drink up. | Senhal d'Aric | 84 | 20 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Corbières | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Château Ribaute 2015 Senhal d'Aric Rosé (Corbières) | Rosé | Château Ribaute |
| 34318 | 34317 | Italy | The nose is shy, offering whiffs of moist, weedy underbrush, blue flower and walnut. The diluted palate offers suggestions of red berry alongside bracing acidity. A salty note gives it a quick, drying finish. | | 84 | 20 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Collemattoni 2014 Rosso di Montalcino | Sangiovese | Collemattoni |
| 34319 | 34318 | France | A soft and light-footed rosé, this offers notes of melon rind, tart cranberry and pithy citrus that are laced with an herbal overtone.

| 34320 | 34319 | France | This is a banana and red-cherry-flavored wine, that has a light tannic structure to contrast with the fruitiness. It is ready to drink. | | 84 | 14 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais-Villages | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de Boischampt 2015 Beaujolais-Villages | Gamay | Domaine de Boischampt |
| 34300 | 34299 | Chile | Standard on the nose, with apple, pear and spice aromas, this is a fruity Viognier with sweet flavors of peach and nectarine in front of a finish that starts out juicy but falls off quickly. Expect lots of sweet, basic white-fruit character from this warm-vintage wine. | Tama Vineyard Selection | 85 | 15 | Cachapoal Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Anakena 2012 Tama Vineyard Selection Viognier (Cachapoal Valley) | Viognier | Anakena |
| 34301 | 34300 | Chile | Dusty apple and pear aromas are likable. This feels soft, leesy and creamy as young Chardonnay goes, with stalky, slightly mealy flavors of corn and apple. On the finish, things taste salty and briny. | Enco Reserve | 85 | 14 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Anakena 2013 Enco Reserve Chardonnay (Leyda Valley) | Chardonnay | Anakena |
| 34302 | 34301 | Italy | Notes of toasted oak and vanilla are the opening notes of this wine. The palate has ripe plum and blackberry that are overwhelmed by oak, espresso, coffee and sweet vanilla bean. Too much oak and too little fruit. | Riserva Stile Libero | 85 | 32 | Central Italy | Conero | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Angeli di Varano 2010 Riserva Stile Libero (Conero) | Montepulciano | Angeli di Varano |
| 34303 | 34302 | US | As the name suggests, this is an elemental Cabernet, offering pleasant blackberry, cherry and oak flavors.

| 34305 | 34304 | US | There's lots of youthful, jammy fruit and rich tannins in this Syrah. But then it turns hot with alcohol, and the finish is overripe and raisiny. Your best bet is to drink it soon with stews and barbecue. | | 85 | 17 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | Bianchi 2010 Syrah (Paso Robles) | Syrah | Bianchi |
