The aromas bring in mild wood smoke and black-pepper notes, then the flavors add ample fruitiness without going to jamminess.

| 44456 | 44455 | Chile | Earthy aromas of spent coffee grounds and herbal plum and berry fruits lead to a palate that's edgy and a bit rough.

| 44458 | 44457 | US | A collaboration between winemaker James Foster and rockstar Pat Monahan of Train, this bottling shows black raspberry, pencil shavings and a feral animal-hide touch to the nose.

Rita Hills | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Foley 2015 Barrel Select Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) | Chardonnay | Foley |
| 44460 | 44459 | Australia | Its pale-gold color gives this rich, oaky style away. Lemon, green papaya, mint, nuts and wet stone all mingle with tongue-tingling acidity. The palate is on the lean and mean side at the moment, and the oak sticks out too, but there's a redeeming smokey, mineral finish and the hope that all will settle with time. Drink now–2025. | Miamup | 89 | 25 | Western Australia | Margaret River | | | | Howard Park 2016 Miamup Chardonnay (Margaret River) | Chardonnay | Howard Park |

| 44441 | 44440 | US | An exciting varietal wine from an appellation that has done well by it, this opens in aromas of baked bread and compost, in addition to toasty bacon and chocolate. Tart and tight, it's ripe and yet restrained, a nice tension of contrast at its core. | Moaveni Vineyard | 90 | 45 | California | Bennett Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | MacLaren 2013 Moaveni Vineyard Syrah (Bennett Valley) | Syrah | MacLaren |
| 44442 | 44441 | Portugal | This is a deliciously ripe and fruity wine. Citrus and apricot and peach flavors are given a lift by a nutty, toasty character.

| 44446 | 44445 | France | Rather lean and austere, this is a tight, structured wine. Its future lies in the firm tannins and the juicy red-currant fruit. Wait for this wine and don't drink before 2020. | Aux Serpentières Premier Cru | 90 | 75 | Burgundy | Savigny-lès-Beaune | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Michel et Joana Ecard 2014 Aux Serpentières Premier Cru (Savigny-lès-Beaune) | Pinot Noir | Michel et Joana Ecard |

| 44450 | 44449 | US | If you've ever had a Momtazi wine, you know that there is a strong earthy aspect to the flavors that sets the vineyard apart from most others. In the scents and tastes here you'll find composted earth, chalk, dried leaves and black tea ahead of black cherry fruit, but those funk-soaked flavors add up to a complex and intriguing wine. | Momtazi Vineyard | 90 | 40 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Portlandia 2014 Momtazi Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Portlandia |
