| 58444 | 58443 | France | Ripe and fruity, this has a rich texture that comes both from the generous white fruits and from the cut of lemon acidity.

| 58446 | 58445 | US | The Daou brothers break a bit from their polished house style to dive into gamy wonders in this blend of 80% Petite Sirah, 12% Tannat and 8% Tempranillo, with a nose that shows burned tire, bacon fat, underripe plums and freshly paved street. Crushed black pepper, charred beef and animal-hide funkiness converge on the palate. It's a great counterpoint to the winery's usual suavity. | Unbound | 91 | 56 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Daou 2015 Unbound Red (Paso Robles) | Red Blend | Daou |

| 58462 | 58461 | US | This is a richer style of Sauvignon Blanc, as would be expected from the Daou brothers, but is a fresher style than the last vintage.

| 58467 | 58466 | France | A smoky spicy wine that is full of berry fruits and with some toasty wood-aging flavors.

| 58468 | 58467 | US | This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Tannat works quite well, with rounded aromas of caramelized blackberry, vanilla and vibrant violets on the nose.

| 58469 | 58468 | US | Black as coal, with a heavy, smoky, meaty nose, this is one of a growing number of excellent biodynamic Syrahs from Oregon. It marries tangy acids to chewy red and blue fruits, with streaks of coffee liqueur and caramel latté. Half was whole-cluster fermented, and it all spent time in 50% new French oak. | Reserve | 92 | 75 | Oregon | Applegate Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Cowhorn 2013 Reserve Syrah (Applegate Valley) | Syrah | Cowhorn |
