| 47731 | 47730 | US | The initial entry to this wine is reminiscent of cheesecake, with a decadence to the bouquet. From there, ripe pear and toasted oak combine around a tropical edge of guava and papaya, giving complexity and lushness on the palate, before a zesty, slightly tart finish confounds and invites one in for more. Cellar through 2018. | Proprietress Reserve | 92 | 65 | California | Los Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Vine Cliff 2013 Proprietress Reserve Chardonnay (Los Carneros) | Chardonnay | Vine Cliff |
| 47732 | 47731 | England | An abundance of apple flavors—green, golden and red-cheeked—plays on the nose. Their crisp, crunchy, sweet tartness is apparent everywhere and explodes afresh with every tiny bubble that bursts. Creamy autolysis provides a generous background to this fizzing, fun wine. This is light-footed, exuberant and finishes with a joyous concert of apple-delight. | Brut Cuvée | 91 | 75 | England | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Jenkyn Place Vineyard 2010 Brut Cuvée Sparkling (England) | Sparkling Blend | Jenkyn Place Vineyard |
| 47733 | 47732 | US | Tightly structured and quiet in oak, this wine instead exudes bright notes of lemon peel and orange blossom, offering plenty of well-traced minerality on the palate. It finishes lean and crisp, refreshing enough to enjoy all night long. | | 91 | 30 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Jordan 2013 Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) | Chardonnay | Jordan |
| 47734 | 47733 | US | Syrah is not new in Southern Oregon, but finding a consistent style has been a battle. Progress is being made. Tannins are tamed, alcohol is kept in hand, and the fruit is plenty ripe; maybe just a bit too ripe. Here the flavors are of strawberry preserves, leafy herbs, and lighter but still-astringent tannins. The wine fades fairly quickly, and should be consumed in its youth. | | 87 | 25 | Oregon | Rogue Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | J. Scott Cellars 2012 Syrah (Rogue Valley) | Syrah | J. Scott Cellars |
| 47735 | 47734 | France | This is a textured wine, firm and tight initially. Plenty of flavor is waiting to develop and to reveal white fruits and attractive citrus. It can be drunk now, but the wine will be much better from 2016. | Sur Lie | 87 | | Loire Valley | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Julien Braud 2013 Sur Lie (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) | Melon | Julien Braud |
| 47736 | 47735 | Italy | Subdued aromas suggest woodland berry and underbrush. The palate is more expressive, offering red cherry, strawberry and licorice alongside supple tannins. Enjoy soon. | Palladium | 87 | 26 | Northeastern Italy | Alto Adige | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | K. Martini & Son 2012 Palladium Pinot Nero (Alto Adige) | Pinot Nero | K. Martini & Son |
| 47737 | 47736 | US | Muted on the nose, this is a spicy, somewhat austere wine, shy in red berry fruit and soft tannins. From a 1,500-foot elevation vineyard, it lacks the power of some of its competitors, yet offers a balanced, less in-your-face take on the variety. | Montecillo Vineyard | 87 | 28 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Keating 2012 Montecillo Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) | Zinfandel | Keating |
| 47738 | 47737 | Italy | Aromas of peach blossom and mature Bartlett pear lead the nose on this pretty wine.

| 47741 | 47740 | US | This wine, which is named after vintner Bill Foley's grandma, is quite light in the glass, and shows a lot of florals on the nose, along with strawberry syrup and brown spice. It's a little flat on the palate, yet suggests fresh raspberries and rose petals, proving a nice light and bright sipper that wouldn't overwhelm a fish dish. | Annie Dyer | 87 | 50 | California | Sta. Rita Hills | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Lincourt 2012 Annie Dyer Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills) | Pinot Noir | Lincourt |
| 47742 | 47741 | France | Drawing a blend of Merlot, Tannat and Syrah from several regions in southwest France, this soft and fruity wine is light with a juicy mix of acidity and dry tannins. Berry fruits and a fresh aftertaste suggest it is ready to drink now. | Villa de Cocagne | 87 | 12 | France Other | Vin de France | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Lionel Osmin & Cie 2013 Villa de Cocagne Red (Vin de France) | Red Blend | Lionel Osmin & Cie |
| 47743 | 47742 | Chile | Round, plump aromas are a bit vegetal, with a suggestion of canned beans and peas. The palate is balanced but full.

| 47745 | 47744 | US | A blend of 83% Syrah with 17% Petite Sirah, this is a juicy wine, bursting in black plum, blackberry and gamy smoke. Low in oak imprint, it's medium bodied, approachable and easy to like, plenty tannic but not over the top. | Syrah-Sirah | 87 | 36 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Preston 2012 Syrah-Sirah Syrah-Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley) | Syrah-Petite Sirah | Preston |
| 47746 | 47745 | Portugal | Rede is at the cooler western end of the Douro vineyards, known for its table wines rather than Ports. This ripe, toasty wine has a generous tannin and fruit structure. Red berry fruits dominate the texture, along with a lightly mineral character. The wine could age, so drink from 2016. | Rede Tinto Colheita | 87 | 11 | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta da Rede 2011 Rede Tinto Colheita Red (Douro) | Portuguese Red | Quinta da Rede |
| 47747 | 47746 | Chile | Earthy, rubbery blackberry aromas become more clean and open the longer this sits.

Weight and heat are noticeable on the finish. | Aliwen Reserva | 87 | 13 | Rapel Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Undurraga 2012 Aliwen Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère (Rapel Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon-Carmenère | Undurraga |
| 47748 | 47747 | Spain | Maple, brown sugar, caramel and cinnamon powder aromas portend sweetness. In the mouth, this is fairly heavy and syrupy, with moderate acidity.

| 47750 | 47749 | Germany | Stark and steely, this dry, revitalizing Riesling pierces the palate with tart tangerine and green apple flavors. Zesty and lean, it would make a refreshing accompaniment for creamy pasta or braised poultry. | Luminance Dry | 87 | 15 | Mosel | | | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | S.A.

| 47752 | 47751 | US | Damp earth, tar and gamy bacon combine aromatically and flavor-wise in this Cabernet, which also contains smaller traces of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

| 47753 | 47752 | Portugal | A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Fernão Pires, this crisp, lightly herbaceous wine has a soft texture and attractive, creamy acidity. Hints of yellow fruits come through deliciously at the end. | Companhia das Lezírias Catapereiro Escolha | 87 | 14 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Wines & Winemakers 2013 Companhia das Lezírias Catapereiro Escolha White (Tejo) | Portuguese White | Wines & Winemakers |
| 47754 | 47753 | Chile | Gritty, gaseous aromas are demanding. This SB offers up a citric, pulpy body and slightly bitter flavors of passion fruit, orange and tangerine. Citrus pith and related bitterness blend with citric acidity on the finish, but this wine is starting to fade. | T.H.

| 47755 | 47754 | France | This soft, rounded, wood-aged wine has light tannins and fresh fruits. Red cherry flavors are forward to give a bright, crisp feel to the wine.

| 47756 | 47755 | US | High in acidity, this features a pleasant saltiness matched by an austerity of lemon and pear. It's a lighter, brighter style of the variety that stands out for its zestiness and slight layering of herb and ginger. | Denmark Vineyard | 87 | 34 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Anaba 2012 Denmark Vineyard Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) | Chardonnay | Anaba |
| 47757 | 47756 | France | Dominated by Cabernet Franc, this is a pretty, pink, perfumed wine. It's light and fresh, crisply fragrant with wild strawberries.

| 47759 | 47758 | US | Minty with ripe, black plum and cherry notes, this rich, opulent wine is still puckering in tannins, but shows measured acidity on the back palate and finish.
