| 47251 | 47250 | Portugal | A blend of Touriga Nacional and Syrah, this rosé gives ripe red fruits that are cut with lively acidity. There is a jammy, caramel-flavored backdrop to this wine that makes it heavy rather than fresh.

| 47252 | 47251 | Spain | Rubbery, sweaty, muted aromas lead to a dilute, fizzy palate.

| 47254 | 47253 | France | This wine is all crisp cherries and lively acidity. Only the lightest edge of tannin gives the wine some structure, followed by more fruit all the way. Drink now. | | 84 | 12 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Pizay 2014 Beaujolais | Gamay | Château de Pizay |
| 47255 | 47254 | US | Cloudy and reddish-brown, this is a funky, spritzy wine with a taste of red cherry that falls somewhat flat on the finish. | | 84 | 30 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Corkscrew 2011 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | Corkscrew |
| 47256 | 47255 | France | This Chardonnay is soft, with attractive and gentle green fruit and sliced-apple flavors. A tang of lemon juice gives extra freshness. | | 84 | 18 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Dupeuble Père et Fils 2014 Beaujolais Blanc | Chardonnay | Domaine Dupeuble Père et Fils |
| 47257 | 47256 | US | Just-squeezed lime aromas mesh with riper green and yellow apples and wet stone on the nose of this simple yet quaffable boxed wine. The flavors lack energy, but show familiar apple and lime characteristics. | | 84 | 28 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Jewelry Box 2013 Pinot Grigio (Central Coast) | Pinot Grigio | Jewelry Box |
| 47258 | 47257 | Argentina | Tight wild berry and cherry aromas come with a soapy accent. This is blocky and fiercely tannic, with muscular, grapy flavors that hint at blackberry before turning hot and bitter on the finish. | ROD | 84 | 12 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Mascota 2014 ROD Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Mascota |
| 47259 | 47258 | France | Tight acidity, cherry flavors and a hint of banana give this wine a light and fruity character. It has probably too much acidity for its own good, making it too crisp, missing out on richness. | Château de la Perrière | 84 | | Beaujolais | Brouilly | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Georges Duboeuf 2014 Château de la Perrière (Brouilly) | Gamay | Georges Duboeuf |
| 47260 | 47259 | Argentina | Dry, briary, leathery aromas come in front of a high-acid palate that's almost shocking in its zestiness. Tart but generic flavors of cherry and red plum finish with a skins-like texture and lasting acidity. | Clásico | 84 | 12 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Altos Las Hormigas 2013 Clásico Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Altos Las Hormigas |
| 47261 | 47260 | US | A dark color and candied, pruney aromas give way to jammy black cherry flavors and a lightly tannic texture.

| 47263 | 47262 | France | This wine is all about fresh cherries with only the lightest structure. It would be delicious drunk lightly chilled on a summer day. | Cuvée Rochebonne | 84 | 12 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Trenel Fils 2014 Cuvée Rochebonne (Beaujolais) | Gamay | Trenel Fils |
| 47264 | 47263 | Portugal | Blackberry and ripe black currant flavors are interspersed with acidity and a juicy texture. The wine has a dry, tannic core, with flavors of old wood that spoils the general fruitiness of the wine. Drink now. | | 84 | 12 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Casal da Coelheira 2012 Red (Tejo) | Portuguese Red | Casal da Coelheira |
| 47265 | 47264 | US | A closed, tight and grippy wine, this has a big tannic structure that supports a landscape of cassis, cranberry and ripe plum, along with clove and tobacco. Fuller-bodied in style, it finishes smooth and lean. | Crazy Creek | 84 | 21 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Katherine Goldschmidt 2013 Crazy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Katherine Goldschmidt |
| 47266 | 47265 | France | This wine is crisp in character, with flavors of caramel and fresh red currants. The fruity tone provides a rich character that lies under the bright final acidity.

| 47269 | 47268 | US | Rather aggressive tannins and distinctly earthy scents of tomato leaf and vegetation characterize this modest effort. It's chewy and herbal, with little indication of fruit ripeness. | Willamette | 84 | 20 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Domaine Loubejac 2014 Willamette Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Domaine Loubejac |
| 47270 | 47269 | France | Banana flavors spoil this otherwise attractive and fruity wine. A dry core of tannins is surrounded by creamed banana and red fruits.

| 47271 | 47270 | Spain | This is a highly unusual blend of Marsellan and Touriga Nacional, and it smells reduced, lemony and like cola and coffee. The mouthfeel is grating, with sandpaper tannins. Odd, herbal, citrusy notes infiltrate core blueberry flavors, while the finish is hard as nails and tannic to an extreme. Only 200 cases made. | El Jefe de la Tribu | 84 | 50 | Levante | Valencia | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Angosto 2012 El Jefe de la Tribu Red (Valencia) | Red Blend | Angosto |
| 47272 | 47271 | Italy | Mastroberardino has created an easygoing Aglianico with defined aromas of wild berry, spice, resin and black pepper.

| 47273 | 47272 | US | Great price for a Chardonnay this rich and tasty.

| 47274 | 47273 | Chile | Starts out hard and rustic, but soon it unfolds with cola, black fruit and earthy leather aromas. Concentrated, ripe tannins, healthy and flavorful, with meaty berry and chocolate. Finishes tight with mossy herbs. Solid Cab for the money. | Santa Digna Reserve | 87 | 11 | Central Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Miguel Torres 2007 Santa Digna Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Miguel Torres |
| 47275 | 47274 | France | Wood aging has given this wine some roundness and softness without taking away from the intense grassy, grapefruit flavors of Sauvignon Blanc.

| 47276 | 47275 | Italy | Corte Lenguin's Amarone is less intense aromatically and laid-back in general with measured aromas of ripe fruit, resin, tar and mesquite. It offers more in the mouth however, in terms of density and taste, with a broad texture and bright cherry flavors. | | 87 | 36 | Veneto | Amarone della Valpolicella Classico | | | | Corte Lenguin 2004 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico | Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara | Corte Lenguin |
| 47277 | 47276 | France | Cérons, next door to Sauternes, produces a lighter version of those dessert wines. This wine, with its characteristic honey sweetness, is edging toward toffee, the baked apple flavors already tamed by a few years aging. The core of botrytis dryness is now well integrated, suggesting the wine is ready to drink. | | 87 | 29 | Bordeaux | Cérons | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons 2005 Cérons | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons |
| 47278 | 47277 | Chile | Well oaked and smoky, with aromas of coffee, mocha, black olive and roasted fruits. The palate is lively and ripe, with pointed tannins and red-fruit flavors with black edges and olive. A compact, solid mix of Cabernet, Carmenère and Syrah. | Reserve | 87 | 13 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Palo Alto 2007 Reserve Red (Maule Valley) | Cabernet Blend | Palo Alto |
| 47279 | 47278 | Italy | Pieropan's basic Soave Classico offers refreshing aromas of stone fruit, honeysuckle, grapefruit and lime. The wine is light and crisp with tonic acidity on the close and an easy, direct approach. | | 87 | 17 | Veneto | Soave Classico | | | | Pieropan 2007 Soave Classico | Garganega | Pieropan |
| 47280 | 47279 | Italy | Amarone San Giorgio offers aromas of cherry, spice and clove but doesn't have the natural intensity of other wines from this vintage. It's more neutral and shy from an aromatic point of view although the mouthfeel is vibrant and crisp. | San Giorgio | 87 | 40 | Veneto | Amarone della Valpolicella Classico | | | | Carlo Boscaini 2004 San Giorgio (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico) | Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara | Carlo Boscaini |
