| 36361 | 36360 | France | This 100% Syrah is a bit tough and chewy on the finish, but also has lots of black-cherry fruit upfront and a suave, medium-bodied mouthfeel.

| 36362 | 36361 | France | Rather broad in the mouth without being particularly weighty or rich, with restrained aromatics of apricot and spice and flavors of melon, apricot and pepper. Drink now; the 2007 tasted out of tank looks significantly more interesting.

| 36363 | 36362 | US | Bedell continues to raise the bar for Long Island Merlot with this offering. A rich, savory nose of meat, leather spice and dark berry leads into a poised balance of savory spice, rich fruit, acids and tannins. The wine has a friendly brightness about it but overall, is restrained and integrated. | Reserve | 87 | 48 | New York | North Fork of Long Island | Long Island | Susan Kostrzewa | @suskostrzewa | Bedell 2005 Reserve Merlot (North Fork of Long Island) | Merlot | Bedell |

| 36366 | 36365 | US | There's a basket of ripe raspberry and strawberry in this earthy, single-vineyard designated wine, an earthiness that doesn't let go. Truffle and damp forest meet in the middle to introduce dusty, dense tannins that will benefit from time and air. | Thornton Vineyard | 88 | 60 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Acacia 2012 Thornton Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | Acacia |
| 36367 | 36366 | Portugal | With Syrah and Aragonez (Tempranillo) forming the blend, it's no surprise that this is an aromatic, smoothly tannic wine. The earthy aromas blow away to give a wine with structure, flavors of blueberries and raspberries plus a dense, tarry aftertaste. Drink from 2016. | Dory | 88 | 13 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Adega Mãe 2012 Dory Red (Lisboa) | Portuguese Red | Adega Mãe |

| 36374 | 36373 | US | Drinkable now, this wine opens with a syrupy grenadine aroma that rises to the top, followed by enjoyable layers of black cherry, mushroomy earth and silky, smooth tannins. Not overly complicated or overpriced, it'll please a crowd and do service to midweek meals. | | 88 | 22 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Carneros Highway 2013 Pinot Noir (Carneros) | Pinot Noir | Carneros Highway |
| 36375 | 36374 | Portugal | Distinctly mineral in character, this is a tough wine with its tense tannins and firm, very dry fruitiness. Black currant and berry fruits shine through this structure giving a full, juicy character. It's a wine of power and richness, still restrained by its tight, dry texture. Drink from 2018. | Colheita Tinto | 88 | 15 | Dão | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Casa da Passarella 2011 Colheita Tinto Red (Dão) | Portuguese Red | Casa da Passarella |
| 36376 | 36375 | Portugal | Tight and mineral, this is firmly structured, a solid wine that speaks of the dark granite soil of the region. With vineyards against Portugal's highest mountain range, this is a dark, always dry and tannic wine. | Somontes Colheita | 88 | 11 | Dão | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Casa da Passarella 2011 Somontes Colheita Red (Dão) | Portuguese Red | Casa da Passarella |
| 36377 | 36376 | Spain | This high-reaching Terra Alta blend of Garnacha, Carignan and a local grape called Morenillo smells a bit stalky and herbal. A tight, pinching palate with hard tannins is powerful but bumpy. Flavors of raw oak, berry fruits and bitter herbs remain medicinal on the finish. Drink through 2018. | Mather Teresina | 88 | 68 | Catalonia | Terra Alta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Celler Piñol 2009 Mather Teresina Red (Terra Alta) | Red Blend | Celler Piñol |

| 36380 | 36379 | Spain | Cool, earthy aromas of blackberry, vanilla and tobacco are encouraging. This aged Cab from the base of the Pyrenees is a monster with wall-to-wall tannins. Heavy black-fruit, fig, mocha and tobacco flavors finish with exotic spice notes and a touch of oaky coconut. This is big and boisterous. | Reserva | 88 | 23 | Northern Spain | Somontano | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Enate 2006 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Somontano) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Enate |
| 36381 | 36380 | US | Tasted shortly after bottling, this needed some airing to blow off the sulfur. Once open it showed itself to be a palate-pleasing, round and spicy wine, elaborating its pear fruit with notes of orange peel and Meyer lemon. | | 88 | 20 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Hawkins Cellars 2014 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Gris | Hawkins Cellars |
| 36382 | 36381 | Spain | Charred and oaky smelling at first, this Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend transitions to caramel and marshmallow aromas as it breathes. Hard tannins pinch like a vise, while herbal dark-berry flavors show a note of juniper and green in front of a toasty, long, rugged finish. | Ennak+ | 88 | 24 | Catalonia | Terra Alta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Jordi Miró 2012 Ennak+ Red (Terra Alta) | Red Blend | Jordi Miró |
| 36383 | 36382 | France | Fresh and fruity, this is also a wine with some depth and concentration. Ripe, bright cherry fruits are layered with some firmer tannins as well as acidity.

| 36384 | 36383 | US | Red currants, balsamic-laced strawberries and darkly colored herbs emerge off of this wine by Grenache specialist Mikael Sigouin. There's a lot going on in this very flavorful wine, with Bing cherry fruit balanced by a graphite-like minerality. | | 88 | 30 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Kaena 2012 Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley) | Grenache | Kaena |

| 36387 | 36386 | Brazil | Initial aromas of vanilla wafer give way to pear scents and minerality. This wine has creamy weight but acidic cut and pulse along with melon, vanilla and lightly oaked flavors. Honey, vanilla and a touch of pithy bitterness compete with melony notes on the finish. | Dádivas | 88 | 20 | Serra Gaúcha | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Lidio Carraro 2013 Dádivas Chardonnay (Serra Gaúcha) | Chardonnay | Lidio Carraro |
| 36388 | 36387 | US | This comes from a single vineyard—Folie Hill—and shows the pinpoint flavors that such wines can deliver. Cherries and milk chocolate, with light notes of dried herbs, sail across the palate. It's drinking well and needs no further cellaring. | | 88 | 34 | Oregon | Dundee Hills | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Lundeen 2012 Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills) | Pinot Noir | Lundeen |
| 36389 | 36388 | US | Chunky, chewy and full-bodied, this fills the glass with flavors of tart red berries, tea leaves, wintergreen and a whiff of smoke.
