| 57481 | 57480 | US | Vibrant and showy on the nose, this yields alluring aromas of white peach, apricot and grapefruit. Zesty acidity gives this rosé of Merlot energy and pizzazz. | Crosé | 86 | 19 | Virginia | Monticello | | | | King Family NV Crosé Rosé (Monticello) | Rosé | King Family |
| 57482 | 57481 | Portugal | With attractive lemon flavors within a smooth and rich wine, this is both bright and ripe. It's aromatic and full in the mouth, showing apple, peach and mineral tones. Drink from 2015. | | 86 | 13 | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Kopke 2013 White (Douro) | Portuguese White | Kopke |
| 57483 | 57482 | Argentina | Orange peel and lychee aromas are typical of the variety. This feels straightforward, juicy, clean and fresh, with tangy acidity. Flavors of lime, lychee and tangerine finish bright and snappy. | Alta | 86 | 9 | Other | Tulum Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Callia 2013 Alta Torrontés (Tulum Valley) | Torrontés | Callia |
| 57484 | 57483 | US | A scent of toasted oak fully wraps the nose, with touches of mint, fruitcake and blackberry underneath. Fine-grained, astringent tannins coat the tongue, and tangy acids gain steam toward the finish. | | 86 | 30 | Colorado | Grand Valley | | | | Canyon Wind 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Grand Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Canyon Wind |
| 57485 | 57484 | Italy | This forward wine opens with funky aromas of game and leather, with a whiff of barnyard. The palate is evolved and much of the fruit has already dried up, leaving bitter prune alongside green, astringent tannins. | Rio Sordo Riserva | 86 | 60 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Cascina Bruciata 2009 Rio Sordo Riserva (Barbaresco) | Nebbiolo | Cascina Bruciata |
| 57486 | 57485 | Spain | Gritty, heavily roasted aromas of stewed berry, coffee grinds and compost are less than appealing, although with airing things improve. This is wide and blocky in the mouth, with ripe, raisiny, roasted black-fruit flavors matched by bitter espresso. Molasses and heat drive the finish on this pricey wine that's not in great shape. | Reserva | 86 | 52 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cathar 2006 Reserva (Ribera del Duero) | Tinto Fino | Cathar |
| 57487 | 57486 | France | White currant aromas give an exotic character that is confirmed by the spice and ripe apricot flavors. Acidity is bright and fresh while the aftertaste moves the wine more to a warmer character. | | 86 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château la Freynelle 2013 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château la Freynelle |
| 57488 | 57487 | France | The young tannins are keeping the wine dry at the moment. But the flavors of black currant fruitiness and fresh acidity promise a bright and fruity future. Drink from 2016. | | 86 | 17 | Bordeaux | Côtes de Bourg | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Noblet 2012 Côtes de Bourg | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Noblet |
| 57489 | 57488 | US | The Rutherford grapes that go into this wine travel down to Santa Barbara post-harvest, a journey that doesn't diminish the wine's sense of place. It represents its dusty provenance well amid a taste of sanguine tannins, soy sauce and ripe plum. | | 86 | 77 | California | Rutherford | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Conway 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Conway |
| 57490 | 57489 | US | This is a hard, rather chewy young wine, tannic and tight, with some earthy flavors. The fruit is thin and plummy, with a vein of chocolate adding some extra interest. | Reserve | 86 | 30 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Corvallis Cellars 2012 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Corvallis Cellars |
| 57491 | 57490 | US | Young and spicy, this easy-drinking Pinot Gris still shows some bite and some bitterness, perhaps from skin contact. Give it a little more bottle age, and drink it chilled, to bring out the tart fruit and cut the phenolics. | | 86 | 19 | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon Other | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Corvallis Cellars 2013 Pinot Gris (Oregon) | Pinot Gris | Corvallis Cellars |
| 57492 | 57491 | Romania | Ruby garnet in color, this has aromas of red plums, purple flowers and black fruit conserves. There are nice bright fruit flavors on the palate, with touches of tobacco leaf and tart cherry on the finish. | La Umbra | 86 | 9 | Dealurile Munteniei | | | Jeff Jenssen | @worldwineguys | Cramele Halewood 2012 La Umbra Cabernet Sauvignon (Dealurile Munteniei) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Cramele Halewood |
| 57493 | 57492 | US | This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Malbec offers vanilla, herb and cherry aromas that seem a bit coarse. The palate is full of baking spice flavors—notably vanilla. It's heavy on the oak notes, despite having aged in just 42% new French barrels, the rest older French and American. | | 87 | 25 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | 4 Cellars 2014 Red (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Red Blend | 4 Cellars |
| 57494 | 57493 | Italy | Made from Montepulciano and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this has wild rose, citrus peel and Mediterranean brush aromas.

| 57495 | 57494 | US | Brooding aromas of lemon curd, fresh herb and citrus lead to broad citrus and herb flavors in this wine. It lacks concentration. | Sagemoor Vineyards | 87 | 20 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Januik 2016 Sagemoor Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Sauvignon Blanc | Januik |
| 57496 | 57495 | France | This is a lightly smoky wine from vineyards in the hills behind the Côte de Beaune. It is spicy with a touch of wood as well as red-cherry fruitiness. The wine needs to age a few months, so drink from late 2018. | Les Belles Roches | 87 | | Burgundy | Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Jean-Luc and Paul Aegerter 2016 Les Belles Roches (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune) | Pinot Noir | Jean-Luc and Paul Aegerter |
| 57497 | 57496 | US | Earthy, dusty mineral tones on the nose fade to reveal juicy grapefruit and red apple on the palate of this approachable off-dry Riesling. Bright, lemony acidity lends vitality to a moderately long finish. | Semi-Dry | 87 | 15 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Lamoreaux Landing 2016 Semi-Dry Riesling (Finger Lakes) | Riesling | Lamoreaux Landing |
| 57498 | 57497 | US | This wine shows vanilla, celery root, mesquite and herb aromas on the nose. Its baking spice flavors are quite sweet, suggesting heavy-handed oak. Vanilla flavors take over on the finish, leaving a disjointed impression. | | 87 | 28 | Washington | Red Mountain | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Liberty Lake 2013 Tempranillo (Red Mountain) | Tempranillo | Liberty Lake |
| 57499 | 57498 | US | This wine lays on the vanilla, cream and butter flavors along with a seeming sweetness and smooth texture due to soft effervescence and apparently low acidity. It's very flavorful and plays outside the bounds of traditional sparkling wine. | Blanc de Noir | 87 | 50 | California | Anderson Valley | | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Lichen Estate 2013 Blanc de Noir Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley) | Pinot Noir | Lichen Estate |
| 57500 | 57499 | US | So ripe and jammy tasting that it seems sweet, this wine is dark in color, rich in aroma and packed full of blueberry, milk chocolate and blackberry flavors. It feels lightly tannic, but the acidity is soft and the flavors are so opulent that it's easy to sip. | CA4 | 87 | 20 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Locations NV CA4 Red (California) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Locations |
| 57501 | 57500 | US | This bottling shows its 88% stainless steel aging with bountiful tropicality, including guava and tuberose on the nose as well as toasted nuts and honeydew. Crisp lime peels start the sip, and then come more guava touches as well as mango. It's quite fruity. | | 87 | 17 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Lucas & Lewellen 2016 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) | Chardonnay | Lucas & Lewellen |
| 57502 | 57501 | France | This spicy, wood-laden wine has strong burnt-toast flavors that have suppressed the fruit. Hints of ripe fruits lie behind the spice and vanilla. Drink this from 2018, in case the wood integrates better. | | 87 | | Burgundy | Pouilly-Fuissé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Maison Champy 2015 Pouilly-Fuissé | Chardonnay | Maison Champy |
| 57503 | 57502 | US | This is an extremely savory wine, with aromas of black pepper, dried herbs, turned earth and a touch of elderberry jam. It's somewhat thin on the sip, with cedar, boysenberry and charred beef flavors. | Thérèse Vineyards Estate | 87 | 49 | California | Santa Cruz Mountains | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Martin Ranch 2013 Thérèse Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Martin Ranch |
| 57504 | 57503 | US | Penetrating white grapefruit, lemon and lime collide in this revitalizing citrus crush.

| 57507 | 57506 | Italy | Toasted nut and balsamic notes and a whiff of cellar floor dominate the nose of this wine. Although shy in terms of fruit richness, it shows assertive and brooding licorice, espresso, fig and dried cherry notes on the palate. The tannins are close grained. | Cascina Crosa | 87 | 32 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Pasquale Pelissero 2014 Cascina Crosa (Barbaresco) | Nebbiolo | Pasquale Pelissero |
| 57508 | 57507 | US | Fresh and fruity, this medium-bodied Cabernet Franc offers forward red berry and plum flavors framed by soft, easy tannins.

| 57509 | 57508 | US | Swirls of vanilla, sweet spice and cream cover more delicate flavors of yellow apple and pear in this yielding, richly textured Chardonnay.

| 57510 | 57509 | Spain | Grassy green-fruit aromas blend with yeasty notes of white bread and croissant. This cava feels solid but a touch foamy.
