43531 | 43530 | US | The aromas of almond and spice are quite light and elusive on this wine, while the sweet fruit flavors seem dilute. | Marcela Vineyard | 84 | 24 | Washington | Yakima Valley | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Stottle 2013 Marcela Vineyard Roussanne (Yakima Valley) | Roussanne | Stottle |
43532 | 43531 | Italy | This simple wine has subdued aromas of black-skinned berry and a whiff of wildflower. The easy, diluted palate offers black cherry alongside soft, fleeting tannins. | Cala de' Poeti | 84 | 8 | Tuscany | Morellino di Scansano | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Castellani 2013 Cala de' Poeti (Morellino di Scansano) | Red Blend | Castellani |
43533 | 43532 | Argentina | Reduced, jammy aromas of blueberry and bacon turn gritty with airing. This feels heavy, chunky and struggles for balance. Stewy, medicinal blueberry flavors finish sticky, with a mix of green, candied berry and caramel notes. | Phebus Reserva | 84 | 16 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Fabre Montmayou 2012 Phebus Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Fabre Montmayou |
43534 | 43533 | France | This is a basic Chablis, soft and fruity. Apples and pear skin flavors have a burst of acidity, a light mineral texture and a juicy aftertaste. It is ready to drink. | | 84 | 26 | Burgundy | Chablis | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Louis Jadot 2013 Chablis | Chardonnay | Louis Jadot |
43535 | 43534 | US | Musky, herbaceous tones juxtapose against candied fruit flavors in this dry, sprightly wine. It's peachy, forward and simple, but fun for its carefree, flirtatious nature. | | 84 | 11 | New York | New York | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Merritt NV Seyval Blanc (New York) | Seyval Blanc | Merritt |
43536 | 43535 | US | With aromas like Bartlett pears and butter cookies, and rich flavors that almost turn sweet, this is a full-bodied, soft-textured confection. The crispness factor is rather low to support that richness fully. | | 84 | 16 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Baron Cooper 2013 Chardonnay (California) | Chardonnay | Baron Cooper |
43537 | 43536 | France | Showing acidity and a structured, dry character, this is a lean wine. Its tannins are dominant, along with vivid red currants and and an austere texture. Drink from 2017. | | 84 | 40 | Burgundy | Chassagne-Montrachet | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Chassagne-Montrachet 2011 Chassagne-Montrachet | Pinot Noir | Château de Chassagne-Montrachet |
43538 | 43537 | France | Herbal aromas give a grassy wine that is textured and tangy. This seems to miss out on real fruitiness, although the final acidity is attractive. | Cabaret | 84 | 14 | Provence | Côtes de Provence | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Maupague 2014 Cabaret Rosé (Côtes de Provence) | Rosé | Château Maupague |
43539 | 43538 | France | Ripe, very soft and missing out on zesty freshness, this wine is full-bodied and on the heavy side. It does have attractive strawberry fruitiness and some acidity that comes through at the end. | | 84 | 16 | Provence | Côtes de Provence | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pure Provence 2014 Rosé (Côtes de Provence) | Rosé | Pure Provence |
43540 | 43539 | Italy | This simple white isn't very expressive, but the palate eventually reveals unripe yellow apple and green pear. It's diluted, with a short finish. | | 84 | 12 | Central Italy | Trebbiano d'Abruzzo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | San Lorenzo Vini 2014 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo | Trebbiano | San Lorenzo Vini |
43541 | 43540 | Argentina | This is a rough, leathery and stalky Cabernet. Horseradish and leather aromas set up a lightly green, herbal and peppery flavor profile. While the wine feels pretty good, there's no escaping its green-leaning, stalky character. | Reserva de Familia | 84 | 34 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Sottano 2010 Reserva de Familia Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Sottano |
43542 | 43541 | US | Sour cherry and underripe watermelon show on the nose and palate. A 15% addition of Merlot gives a slight impression of weight to this otherwise light-bodied sipper. | Rosato di | 84 | 20 | Virginia | Virginia | | Alexander Peartree | | Ingleside 2014 Rosato di Sangiovese (Virginia) | Sangiovese | Ingleside |
43543 | 43542 | France | This herbal wine offers green fruits as well as red berries. Plenty of fresh acidity brightens the mineral texture along with a crisp aftertaste.

43544 | 43543 | US | Sharp red cherries, a touch of cola and a wisp of forest floor comprise the nose of this affordable bottling. Cranberry skins, orange peels and pine sap sourness prevail on the palate. | | 84 | 11 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Cupcake 2012 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) | Pinot Noir | Cupcake |
43545 | 43544 | France | This is a stalky, tight and dry wine. Maybe that's because it's young, but the fruit is way behind the dry, tannic and tough exterior. It's hard to see this softening enough. | Cuvée de l'Aubigue | 84 | 15 | Provence | Côtes de Provence | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine les Fouques 2012 Cuvée de l'Aubigue Red (Côtes de Provence) | Red Blend | Domaine les Fouques |
43546 | 43545 | US | A bit dull on the nose, this wine offers smoky, toasty blackberry and bacon around a soft body and short finish, making it fine for casual gatherings and barbecues. | Kinneybrook | 84 | 20 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Kunde 2012 Kinneybrook Zinfandel (Sonoma County) | Zinfandel | Kunde |
43547 | 43546 | France | A reminder of Provence's place in the seaside life of France, this is just off dry, a fresh, fruity, simple and very drinkable wine for the summer.

43549 | 43548 | Portugal | This is a sweet and soft rosé. It has perfumed red-berry fruits that are given a lift by the acidity. The finish is fresh while sweet. | | 84 | | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Lago Cerqueira 2014 Rosé (Vinho Verde) | Rosé | Lago Cerqueira |
43550 | 43549 | Argentina | This is a heavily oaked brew of 50% Viognier, 40% Chardonnay and 10% Riesling. The nose is woody to the max, with herbal notes of parsley and white flowers. A full, heavy, resiny palate is home to barrel-driven flavors of spice and clouded white fruits. On the finish, this tastes mostly of wood and resin. | Gala 3 Viognier-Chardonnay-Riesling | 84 | 20 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Luigi Bosca 2013 Gala 3 Viognier-Chardonnay-Riesling White (Mendoza) | White Blend | Luigi Bosca |
43551 | 43550 | France | Light and bright, this fruity wine has a more bitter element that gives a sharper character that will hopefully round out. At the back, plenty of acidity leaves a crisp aftertaste. | | 84 | 25 | Burgundy | Mâcon-Villages | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Saumaize-Michelin 2013 Mâcon-Villages | Chardonnay | Domaine Saumaize-Michelin |

43555 | 43554 | France | Dried raspberry, strawberry and cherry aromas flesh out the bouquet of this rosé. The medium-weight mouthfeel is ripe and round, with soft lift from the light acidity. A hint of astringent citrus peel unfolds on the finish. | | 84 | 14 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Gard | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Cachette 2014 Rosé (Gard) | Rosé | Cachette |

43558 | 43557 | Portugal | With its fresh prickle on the tongue and off-dry character, this is an easy, lemon-candy flavored wine that is best drunk young and well chilled. The finish is fresh and crisp. | | 84 | | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta de Lourosa 2014 White (Vinho Verde) | Portuguese White | Quinta de Lourosa |
