| 42361 | 42360 | France | The wine is rounded and soft with attractive berry fruits and wood aging. It's fruity with juicy acidity, black currant freshness and a dry core that will allow it to age 2017–2018. | | 84 | 13 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château La Rose du Pin 2011 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château La Rose du Pin |
| 42362 | 42361 | France | Tightly herbaceous, this light and crisp wine is all citrus and gooseberries, with a tangy lemon zest texture. Drink now. | | 84 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Rousset-Caillau 2013 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château Rousset-Caillau |
| 42363 | 42362 | France | The wine is ripe, soft and spicy. It has a rustic feel, disclosing earthy aromas and almond and spice flavors. Light acidity keeps the wine fresh, although already it is showing signs of maturity. Drink now. | Vérité | 84 | 23 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Loew 2011 Vérité Sylvaner (Alsace) | Sylvaner | Domaine Loew |
| 42364 | 42363 | Portugal | Rustic in character, this wine shows a bit too much alcohol, manifested by burnt and pepper notes. The acidity works hard to bring balance but ultimately is overpowered by the weight of the wine. | | 84 | 15 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Herdade do Rocim 2011 Touriga Nacional (Alentejano) | Touriga Nacional | Herdade do Rocim |
| 42365 | 42364 | US | Hints of lemon and blossom invigorate earthier, savory tones of nuts and pressed apples in this dry, medium-bodied Pinot Blanc. It's slightly restrained on the palate, finishing briskly on a smoky walnut-skin note. | Reserve | 84 | 18 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Heron Hill 2013 Reserve Pinot Blanc (Finger Lakes) | Pinot Blanc | Heron Hill |
| 42366 | 42365 | US | A quite remarkable mauve-pink in color, this offers faint cherry aromas. It's nearly sweet on the palate, with strawberries and hard red berry candy flavors. | Estate Rosé of | 84 | 20 | California | Carmel Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Joullian 2013 Estate Rosé of Zinfandel (Carmel Valley) | Zinfandel | Joullian |
| 42367 | 42366 | France | Spicy and fruity, this is a bright, fresh wine with a light touch of sweetness. Gentil is a category that blends any number of the Alsace varieties together. It's aromatic, crisp at the end while keeping softness. Drink now. | Pfaff Gentil | 84 | 18 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | La Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim 2012 Pfaff Gentil White (Alsace) | White Blend | La Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim |
| 42368 | 42367 | US | Tawny fruit leather and cooked red cherries scent this brick-rimmed wine made from Baco Noir. With flavors of dried leaves and figs, it feels overtly mature for its youthful age. | Old Vines Masson Place Vineyard Pulteney Farm | 83 | 20 | New York | New York | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Hudson-Chatham 2013 Old Vines Masson Place Vineyard Pulteney Farm Baco Noir (New York) | Baco Noir | Hudson-Chatham |
| 42369 | 42368 | Mexico | Initially this Cab smells grassy and downright green, yet berry aromas rise up after time in the glass. An awkward, heavy palate is home to heavily oaked berry flavors that finish creamy and thick. | | 83 | 27 | Valle de Guadalupe | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Vena Cava 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Valle de Guadalupe) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Vena Cava |
| 42370 | 42369 | France | Juicy and spicy flavors give a wine that layers fruit and ginger. Blackberries are the dominant fruit while the spice adds a bite that is almost exotic. | | 83 | 17 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Crusquet Sabourin 2012 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Crusquet Sabourin |
| 42371 | 42370 | France | A late Merlot harvest (October 19) from 22 acres, the wine was stored for 12–16 months in cement vats. Dry and extracted with a hard edge that dulls the fruit, the wine will likely stay that way. | | 83 | | Bordeaux | Francs Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château La Claverie 2012 Francs Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château La Claverie |
| 42372 | 42371 | France | The wine is ripe and soft with a body of tannin that sits uneasily within this jammy character. The blend (Merlot 75%, Cabernet Franc 25%, Malbec 5%) was aged 30% in barrel and 70% in stainless steel tanks. It is unbalanced and likely to remain so. | Grande Réserve | 83 | 13 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Le Grand Moulin 2012 Grande Réserve (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Le Grand Moulin |
| 42373 | 42372 | US | Definitely inexpensive, but for a few dollars more, one might find more fruit and texture. This is an earthy, basic quaffer that'll please mostly on price. | | 83 | 9 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Kirkland Signature 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Kirkland Signature |
| 42374 | 42373 | Chile | Blackberry and rubbery aromas are also leafy and mulchy. The syrupy mouthfeel is heavy, with baked cassis and prune flavors suggesting overripe fruit. Fig, chocolate and sawdust notes come up on a cloying finish. | | 83 | 20 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Primus 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Maipo Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Primus |
| 42375 | 42374 | US | Toast and dried herb notes lend an oaky tone to pressed apple and pear flavors on this Seyval Blanc. It's dry and full bodied in style, with a bright, lemon-focused midpalate that finishes a bit sour and woody. | | 83 | 14 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Six Mile Creek 2012 Seyval Blanc (Finger Lakes) | Seyval Blanc | Six Mile Creek |
| 42376 | 42375 | France | Ripe and juicy, this smooth, simple wine is ready to drink. Juicy black currant fruits are polished by the wood aging. | | 83 | 13 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Beauregard-Ducourt 2011 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château de Beauregard-Ducourt |
| 42377 | 42376 | US | Refreshing but very reserved in flavor, this wine is clean and basic. With a watery color, neutral aromas and flavors, and medium body, the effect is unassuming. | | 83 | 13 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Entwine 2012 Pinot Gris (California) | Pinot Gris | Entwine |
| 42378 | 42377 | US | This light wine feels bubbly in the mouth and slightly sweet. It has mild pear and apple flavors, a soft texture and short finish. Could be a good one to use as a substitute for Moscato. | | 83 | 8 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Barefoot Refresh NV White (California) | White Blend | Barefoot Refresh |
| 42379 | 42378 | France | The wood aging dominates this toasty, burnt-flavored wine. The light stalky fruit barely shows. Maybe when the tannins soften in 2015, it will be more approachable. | | 83 | 17 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Hubert Meyer 2012 Pinot Noir (Alsace) | Pinot Noir | Hubert Meyer |
| 42380 | 42379 | Chile | Oily white-fruit aromas are basic, while the palate has a round mouthfeel and decent acidity. Flavors of brine, white melon rind and citrus finish pickled and bitter. | | 83 | 11 | Curicó Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Terrapura 2013 Chardonnay (Curicó Valley) | Chardonnay | Terrapura |
| 42381 | 42380 | France | The over-exuberance of wood aging spoils this wine. With strong spice and equally tannic elements, it's all about the skeleton and not about the flesh of the fruit. | | 83 | 10 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Mayne Guyon 2012 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Mayne Guyon |
| 42382 | 42381 | France | An intensely youthful herbaceous character is at work here. The wine is full of gooseberry, lemon and pink grapefruit flavors, laced with some orange zest. It's very fresh and probably too young, so wait until late 2015. | | 83 | 11 | Bordeaux | Entre-Deux-Mers | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château La Rose du Pin 2013 Entre-Deux-Mers | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château La Rose du Pin |
| 42383 | 42382 | Portugal | Along with the typical warmth of an Alentejo wine comes an earthy character that is less attractive. There are juicy rhubarb and redcurrant tones, but they are engulfed by its rustic character. Drink now. | Alabastro | 83 | 8 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Caves Aliança 2013 Alabastro Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Caves Aliança |
| 42384 | 42383 | France | Vanilla and caramel flavors dominate this wine after 12 months in French oak. That means that the fruit is really not allowed to shine. It is firm, very dry and all about spice. A pepper flavor from the alcohol leaves a burn in the mouth. | | 83 | 16 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Haut Prieur 2012 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Haut Prieur |
| 42385 | 42384 | Italy | Francesco Spadafora makes one of the best Syrahs in Sicily and Italy. This offers beautiful aromas of dark fruit and chocolate, followed by spice, leather and tobacco accents. These aromas are well integrated, resulting in a silky, creamy mouthfeel, with long persistency. | Sole dei Padri | 93 | 35 | Sicily & Sardinia | Sicilia | | | | Principi di Spadafora 2008 Sole dei Padri Syrah (Sicilia) | Syrah | Principi di Spadafora |
| 42386 | 42385 | Italy | This expression of Nero d'Avola paints a rosy picture of the future of this indigenous variety and Sicilian winemaking in general. Aged in large casks and cement, this is elegant and fine, with an extremely polished texture. The finish is marked by a note of dried berry fruit, plus warm, earthy tones of leather and dried spice. | Contrada | 93 | 85 | Sicily & Sardinia | Sicilia | | | | COS 2007 Contrada Nero d'Avola (Sicilia) | Nero d'Avola | COS |
| 42387 | 42386 | US | Viognier is clearly a strong suit at Cowhorn, a biodynamic vineyard and winery in the Applegate Valley of southern Oregon. The aromatic nose is wreathed in seductive scents of flower and fruit. Flavors are a mix of citrus and stone fruits, with a taste of honey that brings added depth, but not sweetness. | | 93 | 30 | Oregon | Applegate Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Cowhorn 2011 Viognier (Applegate Valley) | Viognier | Cowhorn |
| 42388 | 42387 | France | A ripe, wood-aged wine, this has a wood element that's intensely spicy and toasty. The weight of the sweet plum fruit and tannins are equally powerful and concentrated. A selection of the best of Château Leret Monpezat, this will need at least five years of aging before it should be touched. | Cuvée Icône du Château Leret Monpezat | 93 | 130 | Southwest France | Cahors | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Georges Vigouroux 2009 Cuvée Icône du Château Leret Monpezat Malbec (Cahors) | Malbec | Georges Vigouroux |
| 42389 | 42388 | US | Though the vintage helped create a lighter-than-usual version of this benchmark Pinot, it's beautifully crafted and fully realized. Like Burgundy, it disguises its power in a framework of elegantly defined fruits, acids and polished tannins. Cherry, plum, peach pit, pineapple and lemon oil notes are all in the mix. It's a wine that invites contemplation and rewards your time and attention. | Bergström Vineyard | 93 | 80 | Oregon | Dundee Hills | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Bergström 2010 Bergström Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills) | Pinot Noir | Bergström |
| 42390 | 42389 | US | The structure of this Cabernet Sauvignon (which includes small amounts of other Bordeaux grapes) shows lots of elegance, with refined tannins and acidity, plus a tasteful application of oak. Bone dry, it bears classic blackberry and black currant flavors. It will develop over the next six years, but is drinkable now. | Estate Grown Reserve | 93 | 100 | California | Oak Knoll District | Napa | | | Trefethen 2009 Estate Grown Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Oak Knoll District) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Trefethen |
