Piano Rosé (Toscana) | Rosé | Terre di Talamo |
| 55417 | 55416 | US | A clean and bright wine with focused acidity, this is a mouthful of lemon and lime flavors, with a hint of peach.

| 55419 | 55418 | Spain | Dusty apple and mineral aromas are clean, but that's about it. The palate is lifted by blazing acids and spritz, while the flavor profile is all tangy lemon, tangerine and freshly picked green bean.

| 55421 | 55420 | US | Bright and lifted on the nose, this bears aromas of lemon peel, green apple and white peach, with accents of honeyed nut and wilted rose.

| 55424 | 55423 | US | A smoky narcissus note is upfront and almost obtrusive, with brooding notes of spiced black fruit and char lurking in the background. The tannins are drying—with the consistency of finely ground sand—and they constrict the flavors a bit. A food wine for sure, it needs to be paired with a slab of rare meat. | Marquis de Lafayette | 86 | 20 | Virginia | Virginia | | | | Breaux 2009 Marquis de Lafayette Cabernet Franc (Virginia) | Cabernet Franc | Breaux |
| 55425 | 55424 | US | This has a big aromatic presence at first, but it elegantly melts into a soft texture and crisp red fruit.

| 55427 | 55426 | US | Smashed Concord grapes, lavender and more purple flower aromas make for a very purple-leaning nose on this bottling from the hot stretches of southern Monterey County. The flavors are also quite violet-like, with lavender, jasmine, black plum, olallieberry, plum blossoms, and dill, altogether quite elegant with a relatively light touch. | Pierce Ranch | 89 | 20 | California | San Antonio Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Quinta Cruz 2013 Pierce Ranch Tempranillo (San Antonio Valley) | Tempranillo | Quinta Cruz |
| 55428 | 55427 | US | Bob Lindquist's bread-and-butter bottling does not disappoint, especially for the price point, with voluptuous aromas of black cherry, blackberry, smoke, soy and mocha.

| 55432 | 55431 | US | Much lighter than the winery's other bottling of this level, this wine shows cranberry, light olive and the slightest hint of eucalyptus on the nose. Cranberry, black pepper, pencil lead and earth show on the palate, which makes for a very nice wine, just not quite as stunning as the Bien Nacido version. | Theresa Noelle Estate Proprietor's Reserve | 89 | 80 | California | Sta.

| 55435 | 55434 | US | Crisp fruit unveils itself slowly in this classically refreshing wine, soft and medium in acidity and oak.

| 55439 | 55438 | Austria | Slight spritz and a very restrained nose of subdued fruit lead onto a fresh but rounded palate where lime zest encounters riper notes of passion fruit. There is a more serious midpalate texture that calls out for food. Drink soon. | Klassik | 89 | | Südsteiermark | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Wohlmuth 2015 Klassik Sauvignon Blanc (Südsteiermark) | Sauvignon Blanc | Wohlmuth |
| 55440 | 55439 | Italy | Subtle aromas of dark berry, tilled earth and baking spice lead the nose.
