| 56920 | 56919 | US | Distinctive and generous, this white Rhône-style wine is made from Sierra Foothills grapes by a seasoned Napa winemaker.

| 56921 | 56920 | Italy | Montesei shows authentic Soave Classico aromas of pear, stone fruit and dusty mineral at the back.

| 56922 | 56921 | Italy | Moscato Giallo has the remarkable ability of appearing sweet on the nose, thanks to the intensity of its honey and yellow rose aromas, and dry in the mouth. In fact, the wine is polished, clean and crisp on the close. | | 87 | 25 | Northeastern Italy | Alto Adige | | | | Manincor 2011 Moscato Giallo (Alto Adige) | Moscato Giallo | Manincor |
| 56923 | 56922 | US | While super light in color and texture, this old-vine Zinfandel is undaunting, with a subtle intermingling of jammy cherry and mint flavors. Made to commemorate McFadden's 40 years of farming, it's a throwback in color and personality to a different time and place in Zinfandel. | Old Vine-40th Anniversary Edition | 87 | 24 | California | Mendocino | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | McFadden 2010 Old Vine-40th Anniversary Edition Zinfandel (Mendocino) | Zinfandel | McFadden |
| 56924 | 56923 | US | Mostly Malbec and Syrah topped off with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it's subtle with notes of freshly hewn wood, plum, cinnamon, and cherry pie. The palate's soft cherry flavors are juxtaposed against oak spices but the wood ultimately wins. | Vestige | 87 | 65 | Washington | Snipes Mountain | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Newhouse Family 2009 Vestige Red (Snipes Mountain) | Red Blend | Newhouse Family |

| 56926 | 56925 | France | Picked in November, the late harvest grapes make up this rich wine, with honey and ginger flavors along with light, dancing acidity that gives the wine great poise.

| 56911 | 56910 | US | Made from grapes grown in Santa Barbara County's oldest commercial vineyard, one of the region's winemaking pioneers presents aromas of citrusy meringue atop a core of toasting wood.

| 56927 | 56926 | Chile | The nose on this three-grape blend of Carmenère, Petit Verdot and Shiraz is a bit funky and herbal, with metallic notes and tomato to go with roast plum and heavy spice. It's lively and shows kick in the mouth, while the flavors are oaky, spicy and end with dry raspberry and oak-based vanilla. | Anke Blend 2 Carménère-Petit Verdot-Shiraz | 87 | 20 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Santa Alicia 2009 Anke Blend 2 Carménère-Petit Verdot-Shiraz Red (Maipo Valley) | Red Blend | Santa Alicia |
| 56928 | 56927 | Argentina | Powdery, tropical aromas are light and fresh. And that pretty much describes the wine. In the mouth, it's bouncy, with citrus flavors, tropicality and a hint of nutmeg.

| 56930 | 56929 | US | Floral in aroma, this Mendocino Cabernet is soft and structured with a nice balance of acidity against its medium weight.

| 56931 | 56930 | Argentina | This Cab is hard-capped on the nose, with chocolate, vanilla and plastic-like aromas. In the mouth, it's nervy and hints at astringency, while the flavor profile is led by lemony oak but also shows dark cherry and cassis. This is bold on the back side, with a resiny, oaky finish. | | 87 | 20 | Mendoza Province | La Consulta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Angulo Innocenti 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (La Consulta) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Angulo Innocenti |
| 56932 | 56931 | Argentina | The bouquet on this aggressive Malbec is a mix of olive and leather along with black fruits and asphalt. The palate is big but pinched by narrowing acidity. Flavors of blackberry come with heavy oak, and the finish is toasty and dense. | | 87 | 20 | Mendoza Province | La Consulta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Angulo Innocenti 2011 Malbec (La Consulta) | Malbec | Angulo Innocenti |
| 56933 | 56932 | Italy | Straightforward and bright, this is the perfect Italian white to pair with raw seafood, sushi or seafood salad.

| 56936 | 56935 | US | This delicious wine drinks well now for its soft, fruity approachability. It's full with raspberries and cherries, while exhibiting lots of buttery, toasty oak.

| 56937 | 56936 | France | From the Armagnac region of south-west France, this is herbaceous, cool and crisp, a great aperitif white.

| 56938 | 56937 | Spain | Toasty black-cherry aromas are also minty and a bit leafy. In the mouth, this veers off course. It's highly acidic, with a shearing character that turns plum and berry fruit sour. Tongue-smacking and astringent on the finish. Tasted twice with mostly similar findings. | Crianza | 83 | 25 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cruz de Alba 2013 Crianza (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Cruz de Alba |

| 56940 | 56939 | Italy | This opens with funky aromas of game, cured meat and wet animal fur. Rustic and lean, the astringent palate offers a suggestion of powdered sage and a balsamic note but lacks fruit. | Tebavio | 83 | 65 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Tenuta L'Illuminata 2012 Tebavio (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Tenuta L'Illuminata |
| 56912 | 56911 | US | Bold and effusive in flavor, this full-bodied red gives ripe, concentrated, focused fruit flavors that recall boysenberry and blackberry. Tannins create that grippy, dry sensation that tames big slabs of meat. An attractive take on a traditional Spanish grape variety; drink now. | Rolleri Cuvée | 91 | 26 | California | Calaveras County | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Hovey 2012 Rolleri Cuvée Tempranillo (Calaveras County) | Tempranillo | Hovey |
| 56913 | 56912 | France | This is ripe and smooth, with a generous creamy texture. Spice and apple combine to give a tangy edge that will soften and integrate as the wine ages. It's full of potential. Drink from 2017. | Winzenberg Grand Cru | 91 | 17 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Hubert Meyer 2012 Winzenberg Grand Cru Riesling (Alsace) | Riesling | Hubert Meyer |
| 56914 | 56913 | Canada | A very aromatic wine, showing notes of orange marmalade, brown sugar and apricot.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | Inniskillin 2012 Icewine Niagara Estate Vidal (Niagara Peninsula) | Vidal | Inniskillin |
| 56915 | 56914 | US | Rich and meaty enough to sink your teeth into, this dark and deep Syrah has toasty, smoky aromas. Generous blackberry and boysenberry flavors that are full but not sweet accompany a velvety texture. This is tasty now, but has the layered tannins and acidity for aging. Best now through 2019. | Farrah | 91 | 20 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Klinker Brick 2012 Farrah Syrah (Lodi) | Syrah | Klinker Brick |
| 56916 | 56915 | US | Fresh-squeezed apple juice, grapefruit spritzer and nearly sweet cherry aromas sit atop minerality on the nose of this blend of 46% Viognier, 19% Verdelho, 19% Vermentino and 16% Sauvignon Blanc. There's a lot of tart acidity, with a lingering apple flavor. | White4 | 91 | 16 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Vina Robles 2013 White4 White (Paso Robles) | White Blend | Vina Robles |
| 56917 | 56916 | France | Impressively concentrated for a Pinot Blanc, it offers intense spice as well as crisp apple flavors. It's bright, with good acidity as well as a rich and rounded aftertaste. | | 91 | 27 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Ostertag 2013 Pinot Blanc (Alsace) | Pinot Blanc | Domaine Ostertag |
| 56918 | 56917 | France | Hugely ripe, this is a dense and potentially intense wine. Its high alcohol brings out a disturbing pepper character that spoils the purity of the rich fruits and mineral texture. It shows the heat of the volcanic soil of Ragen de Thann Grand Cru in its rich fruits and ripe structure. It does need aging, so drink from 2017. | Rangen de Thann Grand Cru Clos Saint-Théobald | 91 | 53 | Alsace | Alsace | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Schoffit 2011 Rangen de Thann Grand Cru Clos Saint-Théobald Riesling (Alsace) | Riesling | Domaine Schoffit |
