| 58321 | 58320 | US | Deep smells of sagebrush, cherry and herbed mushroom sauce lead the nose in Adam Lee's take on Rosella's Vineyard. The wine is rich and soft on the palate, with sour cherry, roasted tomatoes and a slightly bitter, tannic finish framed by espresso. Serve with thinly sliced roasted beef. | Rosella's Vineyard | 91 | 50 | California | Santa Lucia Highlands | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Siduri 2012 Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) | Pinot Noir | Siduri |
| 58322 | 58321 | US | Getting quality Pinot Noir for $20 remains a tough trick to pull, but this succeeds with fresh raspberry, white pepper and wet rock aromas. The flavors are delicate, ranging from cherry to cedar to Italian herbs, with some noticeable complexity. | | 87 | 20 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Edna Valley Vineyard 2012 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) | Pinot Noir | Edna Valley Vineyard |
| 58323 | 58322 | Italy | Oak, toast, coffee, espresso, chocolate and vanilla sensations dominate this wine along with notes of black plum. There's not enough fruit richness to stand up to the oak or the astringent wood tannins on the finish. | Ascheri | 87 | 60 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Ellena 2010 Ascheri (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Ellena |
| 58324 | 58323 | US | There is juicy blackberry at the core of this Cab, 2% Petit Verdot blended in for concentration and color. Dusty, the accompanying flavor players include clove and herb. | Barrel Reserve | 87 | 42 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Estate 1856 2011 Barrel Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Estate 1856 |
| 58325 | 58324 | Portugal | This is a finely made, easy to drink wine. It is soft, round, with spice and light tannins, a wine that would travel to parties, barbecues and pasta bakes. The acidity from the blackberry flavor keeps it fresh and fruity. | Tagus Creek Shiraz and Trincadeira | 87 | 12 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Falua 2012 Tagus Creek Shiraz and Trincadeira Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Falua |
| 58326 | 58325 | US | Dark in color, the wine is meaty, dry and brambly in wild strawberry. It's easy to drink and like, with a smooth, hearty finish. | Heritage Block Rosé of | 87 | 20 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Field Stone 2013 Heritage Block Rosé of Petite Sirah (Alexander Valley) | Petite Sirah | Field Stone |
| 58327 | 58326 | Argentina | Saucy, scratchy aromas suggest road tar and compost. This wine is wide in feel, with peppery, spicy raspberry and plum flavors. A minty, herbal tasting finish is neither overbearing nor oaky. | Callejon del Crimen Gran Reserva | 87 | 28 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Finca La Luz 2012 Callejon del Crimen Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Uco Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Finca La Luz |
| 58328 | 58327 | US | There's plenty of dark chocolate and full-throttled blueberry fruit in this Petite Sirah from a producer with a longstanding history with the grape. Subtle yet chewy black pepper plays on the palate, finishing in a waft of smoke. | Estate Bottled | 87 | 25 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Foppiano 2011 Estate Bottled Petite Sirah (Russian River Valley) | Petite Sirah | Foppiano |
| 58329 | 58328 | Australia | Smoky and herbal upfront, this is a light-bodied wine with silky-soft tannins. The flavors are on the savory side, ranging from hickory smoke and hung game to dried mint and thyme. Worth trying with roasted or braised lamb. | Applejack Vineyard | 87 | 42 | Victoria | Yarra Valley | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Giant Steps 2012 Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley) | Pinot Noir | Giant Steps |
| 58330 | 58329 | Italy | The nose isn't very expressive but eventually reveals fig and raisin aromas. The simple palate offers raw, red cherry alongside brisk acidity and firm tannins. | La Tartufaia | 87 | 45 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Giulia Negri 2010 La Tartufaia (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Giulia Negri |
| 58331 | 58330 | France | The wine is tight and nervy, very fresh, crisp and citrus dominated. It delivers a cool feel and delicious acidity that brings out a light character, as well as a bone-dry, mineral aftertaste. | Chartron la Fleur | 87 | 12 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Schröder & Schÿler 2013 Chartron la Fleur (Bordeaux Blanc) | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Schröder & Schÿler |
| 58332 | 58331 | Italy | Mushroom, tobacco, leather and red berry aromas lead the nose. The palate is still closed, revealing game, barnyard and bitter, green tannins but not a lot of fruit. | San Giacomo | 87 | 60 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Stroppiana 2010 San Giacomo (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Stroppiana |
| 58333 | 58332 | US | Aromas of flaky piecrust, spiced apple and macadamia nut are vivid and alluring. Medium to full in body, this proves to have both flesh and spine. | | 87 | 24 | Virginia | Monticello | | | | Trump 2012 Viognier (Monticello) | Viognier | Trump |
| 58334 | 58333 | Portugal | The name of the wine is, of course, a branding exercise in itself. Luckily, the wine inside the bottle is ripe and enjoyable. It's fruity, soft, gently tannic with juicy red fruits and black plums, all finished with fresh acidity. Drink now. Screwcap. | NBNC = No Branding No Cry | 87 | 12 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Vidigal 2012 NBNC = No Branding No Cry Red (Lisboa) | Portuguese Red | Vidigal |
| 58335 | 58334 | US | Black cherry fruit is encased in dark barrel flavors of smoke, charcoal and espresso. Tart acids tighten up the finish. It's got plenty of power, but the fruit seems over-matched by the oak, at least at this young stage. | Founders' Reserve | 87 | 35 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Willamette Valley Vineyards 2012 Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Willamette Valley Vineyards |
| 58336 | 58335 | Slovenia | This opens with aromas of sour cherry and red raspberry. In the mouth, there are pleasant flavors of tart cherry and red raspberry leading up to an astringent yet balanced finish. | Cvicek PTP | 87 | 12 | Dolenjska | | | Jeff Jenssen | @worldwineguys | Zajc 2012 Cvicek PTP Red (Dolenjska) | Red Blend | Zajc |
| 58337 | 58336 | France | The wine is soft, a gentle meander through the flavors of Sauvignon Blanc without any shocks. It has an attractive, rounded texture, with shots of acidity that complement the apple skin and pear flavors. Drink now. | | 87 | 17 | Loire Valley | Sancerre | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Hubert Brochard 2012 Sancerre | Sauvignon Blanc | Hubert Brochard |
| 58338 | 58337 | US | Blackberry liqueur and char flavors are bolstered by mouth-coating tannins and plush acids. A stout wine, this craves to be paired with a platter of grilled meats. | Rsv. | 87 | 45 | Virginia | Virginia | | | | Jefferson Vineyards NV Rsv. Meritage (Virginia) | Meritage | Jefferson Vineyards |
| 58339 | 58338 | US | The Cabernet Sauvignon grape really comes through on this rosé from Paso Robles pioneer Justin. There is strawberry shortcake at first, but the Cab's capacin-led aromas of green bell pepper are prominent. The pepper carries through to the palate, in a very intriguing, tasty way, offering balance between berry fruit and green bitterness. | | 87 | 20 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Justin 2013 Rosé (Paso Robles) | Rosé | Justin |
| 58340 | 58339 | US | Fresh, lively and brimming over with fruit flavor, from lemon to lime to peach. The appearance is light gold, the aromas are very immediate and effusive, the texture tangy and the finish light with a hint of sweetness. | Avant | 87 | 13 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Kendall-Jackson 2013 Avant Sauvignon Blanc (California) | Sauvignon Blanc | Kendall-Jackson |
| 58341 | 58340 | France | This is a bony, tight and herbaceous wine, sharp and crisp with bright apples and lime flavors. Light and full of minerality, it has a steely line that goes to its heart. Drink now, but it will be better in 2015. | | 87 | 14 | Loire Valley | Touraine | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | La Grille 2013 Sauvignon Blanc (Touraine) | Sauvignon Blanc | La Grille |
| 58342 | 58341 | US | With a motto of “affordable luxury,” Layer Cake sources Chardonnay fruit from the fringes of pricey appellations. In this case it draws from Monterey County vineyards near the Santa Lucia Highlands and Santa Barbara County vineyard between the Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills. The results are solid for the price, with expressive aromas of honeydew and vanilla soda, and a palate of juicy melon and toasted oak. It is slightly boozy, so very much in the cocktail style, and is not for those afraid of oak. | | 87 | 13 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Layer Cake 2012 Chardonnay (Central Coast) | Chardonnay | Layer Cake |
| 58343 | 58342 | US | There's something delicious about this wine, but it's not very Pinot Noir-like. Aromas of barbecue, bacon fat, smoked meats and strawberry carry through to the flavor profile, making it a perfect pairing for grilled ribs. | | 87 | 16 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Layer Cake 2012 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) | Pinot Noir | Layer Cake |
| 58344 | 58343 | France | This structured, young wine has good acidity along with black currant fruitiness and firm tannins that need time to soften. The aftertaste, with its lift of freshness is already attractive. Drink from 2017. | Cuvée Lucie | 87 | | Bordeaux | Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Les Hauts de Tousquiron 2011 Cuvée Lucie (Médoc) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Les Hauts de Tousquiron |
| 58345 | 58344 | Italy | Oak, toast, coffee, espresso, chocolate and vanilla sensations dominate this wine along with notes of black plum. It lacks fruit richness to balance the oak and the astringent wood tannins on the finish. | Bricco Rocca | 87 | 50 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Olivero 2010 Bricco Rocca (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Olivero |
| 58346 | 58345 | Italy | This opens with weedy aromas along with whiffs of coffee, espresso and toasted oak. The raw palate displays oak, licorice and dried sage but it lacks fruit richness. Astringent tannins generate an abrupt finish. | Mariondino | 86 | 60 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Parusso 2010 Mariondino (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Parusso |
| 58347 | 58346 | Argentina | Tight, snappy aromas of citric red fruit and lemon peel set up a driving, tight palate with brambly berry, spice and herbal flavors. This shows chocolaty oak on the finish and juicy acidity that ensures freshness and long-lasting flavor. | [+] | 86 | 10 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Santa Julia 2013 [+] Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Santa Julia |
| 58348 | 58347 | US | Pressed flowers, undergrowth and blood orange lead to a lithe, medium-weight palate that comes with juicy acidity. The finish features hints of desiccated black fruit and clover honey. | Inked | 86 | 54 | Arizona | Arizona | | | | Sultry Cellars 2010 Inked Red (Arizona) | Red Blend | Sultry Cellars |
| 58349 | 58348 | Portugal | The apricot notes of Viognier come through strongly with this smooth, ripe wine. It has a steely character and a cool freshness from the Arinto and Síria in the blend. All in all, an attractive wine that could age a few months. | Fado Branco | 86 | 9 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Terras de Alter 2013 Fado Branco White (Alentejano) | Portuguese White | Terras de Alter |
| 58350 | 58349 | Portugal | Fado, wine and song, reads the label, and Fado is the essentially Portuguese style of music. The wine is more international in character, ripe, soft and smooth, with attractive acidity and juicy fruit. Drink through 2016. | Fado Tinto | 86 | 9 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Terras de Alter 2013 Fado Tinto Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Terras de Alter |
