| 56642 | 56641 | US | This wine is expansive and juicy on the palate. A tight grip shows its youth while the underlying softness on the texture reflects the relative coolness of the growing spot. It imparts Napa's robust ripeness in its depth of cassis, chocolate and black pepper. | | 90 | 60 | California | Oak Knoll District | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Trefethen 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oak Knoll District) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Trefethen |

| 56646 | 56645 | US | Ripe, rich blackberry and plum notes abound from nose to finish in this bold, deeply concentrated wine.

| 56650 | 56649 | US | Good winemaking lies at the heart of this wine, which also blends in smidgens of Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec, the grapes from a range of estate-grown sites. Balanced fruit and dusty tannins accent a generously expansive palate that is rich but not overly concentrated, shining in berry, cherry and mocha tones. | Grand Reserve | 90 | 28 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Kendall-Jackson 2013 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Kendall-Jackson |
| 56651 | 56650 | US | There's tremendous value in this well-made wine.

| 56652 | 56651 | US | Dark orange-pink in color, this meaty, substantial wine doesn't skimp on flavor or body. It presents a rewarding and intense celebration of raspberry and cherry that delights on the palate and will do well at the table, indoor or out. | Rosé of | 90 | 28 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Kobler 2015 Rosé of Grenache (Russian River Valley) | Grenache | Kobler |

| 56655 | 56654 | US | Black pepper, black plum and blueberry show on the nose of this bottling from the nearly 900-acre vineyard atop Cuesta Grade, where it enjoys essentially its own dedicated appellation. A very full mouthfeel delivers blueberry and blackberry-paste flavors along with pencil lead, black coffee and bitter espresso. Still a tad firm in structure, this should age well and open even further in the years to come. | | 90 | 18 | California | Santa Margarita Ranch | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Ancient Peaks 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Margarita Ranch) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Ancient Peaks |
| 56656 | 56655 | US | An entrepreneurial debut blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel and Merlot from vineyards across California and Washington state, this wine was guided by a team of winemakers from Pine Ridge, Double Canyon, Chamisal and Seghesio, who worked together to produce it. Full bodied in blackberry and black cherry, it's refined but has a bite of tannin and power that keep it interesting. It finishes in smooth vanilla and chocolate. | American | 90 | 45 | America | | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Luminary 2012 American Red (America) | Red Blend | Luminary |
| 56657 | 56656 | US | This full-bodied wine gets more interesting with each sip, as generous cherry flavors gather light and almost sweet oak accents, and as fine-grained tannins build the texture.

| 56660 | 56659 | US | This vineyard-designate opens with intoxicating aromas of violet and rose before expanding on the palate into seamless, sturdy waves of juicy pomegranate and red cherry.

| 56661 | 56660 | England | Crisp green apple flavors are immediately apparent—lactic inflections and floral notes appear too, alongside wood sorrel and moist brioche.

| 56662 | 56661 | US | From high-elevation vineyards, this is a lean, dusty wine driven by dried herb, blueberry and savory tobacco, with a floral flirtation on the bouquet. Integrated tannins are still sizable and structured, the midpalate touched by a gamy, meaty suggestion akin to charcuterie. | | 91 | 75 | California | Mount Veeder | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Mt. Brave 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Mt. Brave |
| 56663 | 56662 | US | The fruit for this 100% varietal wine comes from Cold Creek, Klipsun and Anna Marie vineyards.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | Northstar 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Northstar |
| 56664 | 56663 | US | Jammy aromas and concentrated grape and blackberry flavors pack a lot of fruitiness into this full-bodied and velvet-textured wine. The ripe and almost sweet berry and plum notes gush forth with gusto while the firm, grippy texture keeps the mouthfeel nicely dry and helps clear the palate for the next bite or sip. | Bechthold Vineyard | 91 | 29 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Onesta 2012 Bechthold Vineyard Cinsault (Lodi) | Cinsault | Onesta |
| 56665 | 56664 | US | Crushed bricks, rose petals, red currants and grape syrup are sprinkled with elegant black spices in this blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot by Steve and Chrystal Clifton. The palate is silky, redolent with mulberry and tart plums skins, amped up by sagebrush and thyme. It's perfect for a variety of foods. | Alisos | 91 | 32 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Palmina 2011 Alisos Red (Santa Barbara County) | Red Blend | Palmina |
| 56666 | 56665 | US | Made from 62% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and 8% Counoise, this perennial delight is Demeter-certified Biodynamic and tastes as fresh as a summer day.

| 56667 | 56666 | US | Set in a colorful and whimsical bottle, this attention-grabber offers dense blackberries, blueberries and black licorice candy on the nose, along with bacon fat, smoke and black loam. The palate shows violets, boysenberry, blackberry and beef char. With grippy tannins, it's structured to last a few more years. | Fiore di Fano | 91 | 85 | California | Temecula Valley | South Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Robert Renzoni 2009 Fiore di Fano Red (Temecula Valley) | Red Blend | Robert Renzoni |
| 56668 | 56667 | US | Blackberry, boysenberry, smoke and grilled meat flavors fill this rich, well-balanced and medium to full-bodied wine. The aromas are charming and appetizing, making it seem ready to drink now. However, the mouthfeel is very firm with tannins and acidity, signaling that the wine should age well through at least 2020. | Mountain Selection | 91 | 24 | California | Amador County | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Scott Harvey 2012 Mountain Selection Syrah (Amador County) | Syrah | Scott Harvey |
| 56669 | 56668 | Italy | Structured and savory, this polished wine doles out aromas and flavors of mature plum, crushed black cherry, violet, black pepper and clove. Firm but fine-grained tannins provide the framework. Drink 2016–2021. | | 91 | 50 | Tuscany | Montecucco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Amantis 2009 Montecucco | Sangiovese | Amantis |
| 56670 | 56669 | US | Luminous is an apt word to describe this sun-kissed, blossomy wine chock full of plump yellow peach, mango and pineapple flavors. There's so much more beyond fruit here though. A strike of lemon-lime acidity cuts through the palate, lending balance and vibe. The finish is long, accompanied by a delightfully astringent kick of lime zest. Drinks well now but should mature well through 2020. | Luminous | 91 | 18 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C.
