| 45890 | 45889 | Argentina | Heavy oak, like the kind you get in a sawmill, is the opening on this Malbec-Bonarda blend, and that's supported by grapy aromas. Saturated, rough and bulky on the palate, this features massively spiced, lavishly oaked berry flavors that lead to a banging finish with scraping tannins. | Patriota | 86 | 20 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Tikal 2014 Patriota Malbec-Bonarda (Uco Valley) | Malbec-Bonarda | Tikal |

| 45895 | 45894 | US | This Pinot Gris is fermented on the skins, then aged in neutral oak for a year-and-a-half. It's a dusty rose in hue, and its tart rhubarb fruit is speckled with peppery spice. The time on skins seems to have amped up the tannins past optimal balance. This is a one-of-a-kind style of Pinot Gris. | Pinot Gris | 86 | 20 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Vista Hills 2014 Pinot Gris Rosé (Willamette Valley) | Rosé | Vista Hills |
| 45896 | 45895 | US | This wine's nose and palate bring linzer torte, raspberry jam and charred meat to mind.

| 45897 | 45896 | Argentina | Baked raisiny aromas are dominant and suggest overripeness. A heavy palate is rich but lacks flow and ease. Baked berry and raisin flavors are tasty but by now it's obvious that this lacks finesse and is off balance. | Black | 86 | 40 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Zolo 2012 Black Petit Verdot (Mendoza) | Petit Verdot | Zolo |
| 45898 | 45897 | US | Brown pear, banana and gooey cherimoya aromas show in this blend of 36% Marsanne, 33% Roussanne, 25% Chardonnay and 6% Viognier.

A decent acidity keeps it all in check. | Silver | 86 | 36 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Ascension Cellars 2015 Silver White (Paso Robles) | Rhône-style White Blend | Ascension Cellars |
