| 58381 | 58380 | France | Stalky and light, this is a blend of Tannat, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It has an herbaceous character that is balanced by berry fruits. It is the red berry fruitiness that dominates at the end. | Colombelle L'Originel | 85 | 8 | Southwest France | Côtes de Gascogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Producteurs Plaimont 2013 Colombelle L'Originel Red (Côtes de Gascogne) | Red Blend | Producteurs Plaimont |
| 58382 | 58381 | Australia | This medium-bodied wine is a bit austere and crisp, with cherry fruit accented by hints of mint and beetroot. | Windy Peak | 85 | 18 | Victoria | Yarra Valley | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | De Bortoli 2012 Windy Peak Pinot Noir (Yarra Valley) | Pinot Noir | De Bortoli |
| 58383 | 58382 | US | The winery initially produced Cabernet, a fact fans of its white wines might not know. This vintage offers 83% Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 11% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. Puckering in tannin, it offers faint mint and high-toned black cherry, the finish ripe and vanilla-sweet. | | 85 | 50 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Rombauer 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Rombauer |
| 58384 | 58383 | France | Smoky leaf tobacco aromas are typical of young Cabernet Franc. And this wine, aged only in tank, is certainly much too young. It's full of brittle tannins and acidity that needs to soften. Wait until late 2015 before drinking. | | 85 | 13 | Loire Valley | Chinon | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Sauvion 2013 Chinon | Cabernet Franc | Sauvion |
| 58385 | 58384 | Italy | Aromas of mature plum, sage and clove lead the nose. The warm, mature palate offers dried blackberry, prune, black pepper and licorice alongside round tannins and evident alcohol. It's already reached its ideal drinking window so enjoy soon. | Otre | 85 | 17 | Southern Italy | Puglia | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Teanum 2012 Otre Primitivo (Puglia) | Primitivo | Teanum |
| 58386 | 58385 | US | A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Sémillon, it tastes like green apples sprinkled with herbs and white pepper, on a smooth texture with fairly full body. An appealing intensity lingers on the finish. | Cuvee de Fume | 85 | 15 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Truth 2013 Cuvee de Fume White (California) | White Blend | Truth |
| 58387 | 58386 | US | There's not much to this light-bodied Merlot, its soft dark cherry, vanilla and plum flavors muted and hard to make out. From a San Francisco-based vintner making wines from around the world, including Bordeaux and South Australia, it sources Merlot from both Rutherford and Oakville. | | 85 | 25 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Wine Spots 2012 Merlot (Napa Valley) | Merlot | Wine Spots |
| 58388 | 58387 | Chile | This largely neutral-smelling SB shows minor aromatic hints of pool chlorine and lemon rind. The palate is citrusy and generally well cut, with flavors of grapefruit, tangerine and tart apple that finish with a note of bitterness and green herbs. | Reserva | 85 | 10 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Casas Patronales 2014 Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Maule Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Viña Casas Patronales |
| 58389 | 58388 | Chile | Blackberry aromas are oaky, with accents of mocha, sweet plastic and vanilla. A medium-bodied palate is slightly scratchy, while flavors of herbal plum and berry fruits show sweet, resiny oak and mint on the finish. | Reserva | 85 | 10 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Chilensis 2013 Reserva Malbec (Maule Valley) | Malbec | Chilensis |
| 58390 | 58389 | France | Produced from organically grown grapes, this is a soft, simple wine with attractive, clean acidity and a good splash of grapefruit and gooseberry. It's fruity, lightly textured and fresh. Drink now. | | 85 | 28 | Loire Valley | Sancerre | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Dauny Père et Fils 2013 Sancerre | Sauvignon Blanc | Dauny Père et Fils |
| 58391 | 58390 | US | Light in weight and texture, this wine was aged in both French and American oak. Smokiness surrounds the otherwise restrained offerings of plum, dark cherry and herb. | | 85 | 34 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Freemark Abbey 2012 Merlot (Napa Valley) | Merlot | Freemark Abbey |
| 58392 | 58391 | US | This pleasant fruit cocktail of a wine smells like pears and peaches and tastes equally fruity, ripe and smooth. It's medium bodied and soft in texture, yet fresh and clean on the finish. | | 85 | 10 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Gnarly Head 2013 Pinot Grigio (California) | Pinot Grigio | Gnarly Head |
| 58393 | 58392 | US | This smells like toasted bread and hickory smoke and tastes even more charred and smoky. Like a good barbecue sauce it has a sweet touch to balance the smoky, jammy fruit flavors. This is an extreme taste experience that will be a big hit with some. | Old Vines | 85 | 12 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Ironstone 2013 Old Vines Zinfandel (Lodi) | Zinfandel | Ironstone |
| 58394 | 58393 | Australia | Reasonably complex for such an inexpensive wine, with crunchy red-berry fruit framed by slightly unintegrated timber notes. Without much tannic structure, the alcohol shows a bit of warmth on the finish. | Bin 50 | 85 | 8 | Australia Other | South Eastern Australia | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Lindemans 2013 Bin 50 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia) | Shiraz | Lindemans |
| 58395 | 58394 | Chile | Leesy aromas of tropical fruits, banana and canned peaches are sweet and candied but fair. Good acidity keeps this upright, while apple juice, peach and citrus flavors finish short but clean. | Reserva Unwooded | 85 | 9 | Curicó Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Echeverria 2014 Reserva Unwooded Chardonnay (Curicó Valley) | Chardonnay | Echeverria |
| 58396 | 58395 | US | This vineyard from the Santa Margarita Ranch at the southern end of the appellation produces a wine with blackberry, mint, slate and barrel smoke on the nose. The flavors aren't quite as dynamic, but still present cocoa, berry, beet juice and strongly mouth-coating tannins. | | 85 | 17 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Ancient Peaks 2012 Merlot (Paso Robles) | Merlot | Ancient Peaks |
| 58397 | 58396 | Italy | Aromas recall wood, coconut, vanilla and coffee. Sweet oak and a mocha note dominate the dense palate but it lacks fruit richness. It's already spent, with abrasive wood tannins that leave an astringent finish. | Mani del Sud | 85 | 19 | Southern Italy | Salice Salentino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Apollonio 2010 Mani del Sud Red (Salice Salentino) | Red Blend | Apollonio |
| 58398 | 58397 | Italy | Aromas of coconut, spicy plum cake, mocha and vanilla waft out of the glass. The warm palate doles out stewed plum, blackberry, espresso, licorice and a confectionary note alongside bracing, astringent tannins that dry the mouth. The intense oak sensations throw this off balance. | Terragnolo | 85 | 20 | Southern Italy | Salento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Apollonio 2011 Terragnolo Primitivo (Salento) | Primitivo | Apollonio |
| 58399 | 58398 | Chile | Pungent and green on the nose, this is showing cool-climate aromas. In the mouth, this is shear and tangy, with a high level of citric acidity. Flavors of lime, Granny Smith apple and asparagus finish briny, crisp and scouring. | Trisquel | 85 | 15 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Aresti 2014 Trisquel Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Aresti |
| 58400 | 58399 | Chile | Herbal raspberry and tomato aromas are edgy and come with a note of oak-based sweet plastic. A saucy-feeling palate is moderately intense, while flavors of tomato, plum and green herbs finish short, with a salty aftertaste. | Tectonia | 85 | 25 | Bío Bío Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Bodega Volcanes de Chile 2012 Tectonia Pinot Noir (Bío Bío Valley) | Pinot Noir | Bodega Volcanes de Chile |
| 58401 | 58400 | Italy | This opens with aromas of wood shop, toast, blue flower and spearmint. The lean palate offers toasted oak, dried blackberry and a whiff of clove alongside angular, astringent tannins that dry out the finish. It lacks the fruit richness to stand up to the oak. | Bocca della Verità | 85 | 15 | Southern Italy | Primitivo del Salento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Cantine De Falco 2011 Bocca della Verità (Primitivo del Salento) | Primitivo | Cantine De Falco |
| 58402 | 58401 | France | This wine balances between the sweetness of a Rosé d'Anjou and fresh, crisp fruitiness. It makes for an attractive wine that's both full of red fruits and that has a light texture. | | 85 | 13 | Loire Valley | Rosé d'Anjou | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Montguéret 2013 Rosé d'Anjou | Rosé | Château de Montguéret |
| 58403 | 58402 | US | Heavy on the oak, this soft, rounded estate-made Merlot brims in red fruit and herb. A bit of a mouthful now, it should evolve in the bottle and in the glass, burning off some of the wood over time. | Estate | 85 | 45 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | St. Francis 2011 Estate Merlot (Sonoma Valley) | Merlot | St. Francis |
| 58404 | 58403 | US | Aromas of plum, herbs and confection come along with barnyard notes that jut out. The fruit flavors are dry and chalky with medicinal notes taking over. Drink now. | | 85 | 18 | Washington | Red Mountain | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Kirkland Signature 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Kirkland Signature |
| 58405 | 58404 | US | It tastes lean and refreshing, with light lemon and green apple in the aroma and flavors, rather light body and a slightly tangy finish. It makes a nice change from the often too-heavy or too-sweet whites in this price range. | Family Reserve | 85 | 8 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Oak Grove 2013 Family Reserve Pinot Grigio (California) | Pinot Grigio | Oak Grove |
| 58406 | 58405 | Italy | Made predominantly with Negroamaro, this offers aromas of blackberry, smoke, tobacco leaf, game and clove. The lean, mature palate displays dried black fruit, licorice and allspice but the fruit richness has dried up, leaving an astringent finish. | Vigna Flaminio Riserva | 85 | 20 | Southern Italy | Brindisi | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Agricole Vallone 2009 Vigna Flaminio Riserva Red (Brindisi) | Red Blend | Agricole Vallone |
| 58407 | 58406 | France | A cool, fresh wine that is packed with crisp herbaceous flavors. It's as clean as a whistle and deliciously bright with lemon, pink grapefruit and gooseberry flavors. Drink now. | Réserve | 85 | 7 | Southwest France | Côtes de Gascogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Barton & Guestier 2013 Réserve Sauvignon Blanc (Côtes de Gascogne) | Sauvignon Blanc | Barton & Guestier |
| 58408 | 58407 | Italy | Made with Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, this informal red opens with aromas of blue flower and wild berry. The simple palate offers juicy blackberry and Morello cherry alongside soft, fleeting tannins. It's made to be drunk young so enjoy soon. | Montecoco | 85 | 11 | Southern Italy | Salice Salentino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Cantine Due Palme 2012 Montecoco Red (Salice Salentino) | Red Blend | Cantine Due Palme |
| 58409 | 58408 | Italy | Aromas of wild flower, black fruit and toast lead the nose on this dense wine. The one-dimensional palate offers mature black cherry, dried plum, coffee and a hint of licorice alongside chewy but fleeting tannins. | San Gaetano | 85 | 12 | Southern Italy | Primitivo di Manduria | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Cantine Due Palme 2012 San Gaetano (Primitivo di Manduria) | Primitivo | Cantine Due Palme |
| 58410 | 58409 | France | This ripe, black-fruited wine is based mainly on Merlot and Abouriou. Full of juicy flavors with soft tannins, it's rich and ready to drink, and makes a great barbecue wine. | Ferran Pradets | 85 | 12 | Southwest France | Côtes du Marmandais | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Cave du Marmandais 2012 Ferran Pradets Red (Côtes du Marmandais) | Red Blend | Cave du Marmandais |
