| 57151 | 57150 | Germany | This dainty off-dry Riesling is marked by aromas—ripe stone fruit and florals against a backdrop of tea leaves and crushed minerals. On the palate, it's intensely juicy, with flavors of orange, mango and peach, but with a streak of acidity that ripples the tongue. | Ayler Kupp Kabinett | 91 | 23 | Mosel | | | Anna Lee C.

| 57152 | 57151 | Portugal | Some wood aging has rounded out this fruity wine. But it has not radically changed its inherent fresh, crisp character. It shows apples, lemon and lime juice and just a touch of spice from wood. The wine is ready to drink but will be best if left until 2015. | Daphne | 91 | | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Casal Paço Padreiro 2011 Daphne Loureiro (Vinho Verde) | Loureiro | Casal Paço Padreiro |
| 57153 | 57152 | Portugal | With strong wood-aging flavors, this is a full, very ripe and concentrated wine. Coming from old vines, it has depth of flavor, both fruity and rich. Peach and pear flavors dominate, along with spice from wood aging. The wine needs some aging, so drink from 2015. | Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas Reserva | 91 | 19 | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Wines & Winemakers 2011 Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velhas Reserva White (Douro) | Portuguese White | Wines & Winemakers |
| 57154 | 57153 | France | This full-throated wine has layers of black fruits, firm tannins and a dense texture. It is rich, the black plum fruits partnered by dark chocolate and licorice. Wood aging still shows and the wine needs to broaden out even more as it ages. Drink from 2018. | | 91 | | Bordeaux | Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Les Trois Manoirs 2010 Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Les Trois Manoirs |
| 57155 | 57154 | Italy | This savory Pinot Grigio has a little weight on it thanks to grape selection and 20% aging in large barrels. It delivers classic Granny Smith apple, Bartlett pear, nutmeg and flint in a creamy texture brightened by fresh acidity. | Puiten | 91 | 23 | Northeastern Italy | Alto Adige | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Colterenzio 2012 Puiten Pinot Grigio (Alto Adige) | Pinot Grigio | Colterenzio |
| 57156 | 57155 | France | White wines are rare in the Côte de Nuits and this wine is as structured as many reds. It does have strong toast flavors, a juicy citrus character and pear flavors. They go with an apple skin and spice aftertaste, laced with acidity. Drink until 2022. | Les Monts de Boncourt | 91 | 60 | Burgundy | Côtes de Nuits Villages | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de Bellene 2011 Les Monts de Boncourt (Côtes de Nuits Villages) | Chardonnay | Domaine de Bellene |
| 57157 | 57156 | France | Hugely tannic at this stage, this dense and complex wine has great structure partnered with dark black fruit and licorice. There is forward bitterness, suggesting this wine needs aging. Drink from 2017. | Cuvée Germain | 91 | 16 | Southwest France | Côtes du Tarn | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine D'en Ségur 2011 Cuvée Germain Red (Côtes du Tarn) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Domaine D'en Ségur |
| 57158 | 57157 | Germany | This semisweet Riesling balances an intensely fruit-forward profile of ripe yellow cherry and quince flavors against a backdrop of crisp, tart tangerine acidity. It's sunny and bright, yet elegantly composed, with a bristle of fresh herb notes that linger on the finish. | Bernkasteler Lay Kabinett | 91 | 22 | Mosel | | | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Dr. Loosen 2012 Bernkasteler Lay Kabinett Riesling (Mosel) | Riesling | Dr. Loosen |
| 57159 | 57158 | France | Still firm and closed, this is a structured wine, solidly tannic with just hints of fruit. It has a dry feel to it, firm, the acidity and red fruits coming through the leathery, dark texture. The wine needs aging, so drink from 2017. | | 91 | 100 | Burgundy | Clos de Vougeot | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Evening Land 2011 Clos de Vougeot | Pinot Noir | Evening Land |
| 57160 | 57159 | Portugal | This sophisticated wine is full of rich, beautifully integrated tropical and citrus fruits enhanced by an elegant use of wood. It feels rich, sumptuous and concentrated, while allowing for good acidity at the end. Drink from 2015. | Ikon | 91 | | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Fiuza 2011 Ikon White (Tejo) | Portuguese White | Fiuza |
| 57161 | 57160 | US | From the estate vineyard, this is thick with spicy flavors of fresh-cut pear. There's a hint of butter and a slightly minty aspect. All in all it's complex, rich and inviting, with penetrating acidity. | Oregon Hawks View Vineyard | 91 | 26 | Oregon | Chehalem Mountains | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Hawks View 2012 Oregon Hawks View Vineyard Pinot Gris (Chehalem Mountains) | Pinot Gris | Hawks View |
| 57162 | 57161 | Italy | Still youthful, it shows aromas of fragrant white flowers, stone fruit and pear. The juicy, lively palate delivers golden apples, yellow peach, almond and hints of aromatic herbs alongside fresh acidity. It boasts balance and finesse. Drink now through 2016. | Demesse Vecchie | 91 | 26 | Lombardy | Lugana | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Olivini 2011 Demesse Vecchie (Lugana) | Turbiana | Olivini |
| 57163 | 57162 | France | With mint and black fruit aromas, this is a ripe, fruity wood-aged wine. Power and complexity come from the structure and the dark black fruits. Hints of licorice accent the strong tannins and fruit. Drink from 2018. | | 91 | 45 | Southwest France | Cahors | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Lagrézette 2011 Malbec (Cahors) | Malbec | Château Lagrézette |
| 57164 | 57163 | US | De Loach continues to impress with this Lake County vineyard-designate, a well-balanced Zin with plenty of density amid its brick tar and brambly blackberry fruit. With leveled acidity along with plenty of power, it'll both age and be pleasing to drink now, with smoky meats. | Nova Vineyard | 91 | 32 | California | Clear Lake | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | De Loach 2011 Nova Vineyard Zinfandel (Clear Lake) | Zinfandel | De Loach |
| 57165 | 57164 | France | A perfumed wine, it has structured black fruits and a solid texture. It is rich, showing complexity through its tannins along with acidity and fruitiness. Still surprisingly young to taste, it should not be drunk until 2015. | Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup | 91 | | Beaujolais | Morgon | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de Leyre-Loup 2011 Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup (Morgon) | Gamay | Domaine de Leyre-Loup |
| 57166 | 57165 | Portugal | Made by a Spanish bodega with grapes from the Portuguese Douro, this is a sophisticated Douro wine that has a smooth, ripe texture underpinned with dry tannins. Now mature, it's very elegant. Drink now. | Drink & Dream D+D | 91 | | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Emilio Moro 2007 Drink & Dream D+D Red (Douro) | Portuguese Red | Emilio Moro |
| 57167 | 57166 | US | Right out of the bottle, this wine is tannic and closed. After a while in the glass, it starts to soften, showing mushroom, cola, pomegranate and raspberry flavors, but it's still resistant. Give it until 2018, and it should gradually unfold for another few years afterward. | Keefer Ranch | 91 | 48 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Failla 2012 Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) | Pinot Noir | Failla |
| 57168 | 57167 | US | The problem with this Zin is high alcohol. In this case, the berry fruit and overall structure just aren't sturdy enough. That lets the alcohol star, making the wine hot and unbalanced. | Monte Rosso Vineyard | 83 | 45 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Rancho Zabaco 2005 Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) | Zinfandel | Rancho Zabaco |
| 57169 | 57168 | US | Sugary sweet and simple, with pleasant pineapple, peach, pear, floral and vanilla flavors. | | 83 | 24 | California | Sierra Foothills | Sierra Foothills | | | Domaine de la Terre Rouge 2006 Roussanne (Sierra Foothills) | Roussanne | Domaine de la Terre Rouge |
| 57170 | 57169 | Portugal | An easy, fresh, slightly sparkling wine with pleasant, soft, lightly sweet fruit flavors. It is clean, a great apéritif for a summer's day. | | 83 | 8 | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Caves Aliança 2006 White (Vinho Verde) | Portuguese White | Caves Aliança |
| 57171 | 57170 | Italy | The aromas are awkward, with notes of clove, green stock, bramble, linseed oil, Sambuca and spice that come from every direction. The wine is firm in the mouth with solid tannins and herbal notes on the close. | Vallocaia | 83 | 25 | Tuscany | Toscana | | | | Bindella 2003 Vallocaia Red (Toscana) | Red Blend | Bindella |
| 57172 | 57171 | Spain | Concentrated aromas of mocha, toffee and burnt coffee bound from the glass, followed by flavors of sour red cherry and berry. Sound balance and soft, dusty tannins make this wine easily enjoyable and easy to drink. | Alate Kosher | 83 | 15 | Northern Spain | Navarra | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | J. Fernández de Arcaya Galdiano 2003 Alate Kosher Tempranillo (Navarra) | Tempranillo | J. Fernández de Arcaya Galdiano |
| 57173 | 57172 | US | Martin & Weyrich continues to struggle with this difficult variety, just like everyone else who tries it in California. The wine retains its naturally high acids and hard tannins, and the cherry and leather flavors have a Paso-style sweetness that makes the finish sugary. | Il Vecchio | 83 | 22 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | Martin & Weyrich 2004 Il Vecchio Nebbiolo (Paso Robles) | Nebbiolo | Martin & Weyrich |
| 57174 | 57173 | US | Four-plus years haven't helped to soften or sweeten this tough, herbal Cab. It's bone dry and lean, even austere in flavor, leaving the alcohol and powerful tannins to dominate. | | 83 | 18 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | | | Wellington 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Wellington |
| 57175 | 57174 | Australia | For a wine that didn't go through malolactic fermentation, this is thickly textured, almost pulpy, lacking a bit of vibrance. The pineapple fruit is weighty, but one-dimensional. | | 83 | 20 | South Australia | McLaren Vale | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Aurora 2006 Chardonnay (McLaren Vale) | Chardonnay | Aurora |
| 57176 | 57175 | US | Starts out sulfury, then turns simple in structure and semi-sweet in flavor, with sugary LifeSaver candy raspberry and cherry flavors. The acidity that's always associated with the variety is pleasantly scouring. | | 83 | 18 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | | | Bargetto 2006 Dolcetto (Santa Barbara County) | Dolcetto | Bargetto |
| 57177 | 57176 | US | This is sort of a second wine from Reverie. It's rustic and sharp, with tart, jellied blackberry and cherry flavors. Not going anywhere. | Red Table Wine | 83 | 40 | California | Diamond Mountain District | Napa | | | A.S. Kiken 2005 Red Table Wine Red (Diamond Mountain District) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | A.S. Kiken |
| 57178 | 57177 | US | A little on the sweet side, with some raw tannins that bring the wine down from elegant to country-style. One-quarter Cabernet Sauvignon brings a blackberry note to the cherry and vanilla flavors. | R Collection | 83 | 15 | California | California | California Other | | | Raymond 2005 R Collection Merlot (California) | Merlot | Raymond |
| 57179 | 57178 | US | Robust and fleshy, this is soft, easy and slightly sweet. It has pie-filling flavors of blackberries and peppery spices. | | 83 | 11 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | Rubberneck 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Rubberneck |
| 57180 | 57179 | US | The official alcohol on this wine is 14.9%, but it has a syrupy concentration and heat that tastes far higher than that. Was it watered down? Tastes like cherry and blackberry wine that was reduced for a sauce, with a thick, balsamic finish. | Rocking Z Vineyard | 83 | 24 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | | | Shippey 2005 Rocking Z Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) | Zinfandel | Shippey |
