| 63691 | 63690 | France | With spicy wood and mint aromas, the wine has ripe blackberry fruit, sweet tannins and some fine concentrated dark flavors. It is structured with a dry core of acidity and fruit skins. Ready to drink, but worth aging. | | 89 | 26 | Bordeaux | Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Beauvillage 2008 Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Beauvillage |
| 63692 | 63691 | France | Very much on the ripe, tropical side of Sauvignon Blanc, this is rich and concentrated. There are citrus and toast along with the spice and pineapple. Textured, it is still young and will age. | Elegance | 89 | 19 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Haut Bertinerie 2010 Elegance (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux) | Sauvignon Blanc | Château Haut Bertinerie |

| 63694 | 63693 | France | The high proportion of Sémillon in the blend gives the wine an extra richness. That rounds out the more herbaceous character and brings in ripe peach and kiwi flavors. It's already a lively, drinkable wine, but should only improve over another few months. | | 89 | 18 | Bordeaux | Graves | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château l'Avocat 2010 Graves | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château l'Avocat |
| 63695 | 63694 | France | Rounded and sweet wine, its tannins buried in the rich blackberry fruits.

| 63699 | 63698 | US | Horse & Plow continues to make nice wines from organic grapes.

| 63701 | 63700 | US | Aromas of sugared plums, herbs and black currants lead to black- and blue-fruit flavors that are surprisingly soft.

| 63709 | 63708 | US | Lush but fine-tuned aromas of lemon skin, pineapple, daffodil and melon are cut by chamomile and mineral tones on the edges of this good-deal wine.
