| 63908 | 63907 | France | This 10-acre vineyard in the Carreau portfolio is surrounded by a stone wall (which is unusual for Bordeaux). The wine with its firm tannins is still very young. But with a structure and with balanced fruitiness it will develop well. There is plenty of fine, juicy acidity at the end. Drink from 2019. | Château Cône-Taillasson Sabourin | 88 | 16 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Vignobles Carreau Selection 2014 Château Cône-Taillasson Sabourin (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Vignobles Carreau Selection |

| 63911 | 63910 | US | The round, forward scents and flavors of buttery popcorn dominate this vineyard designate, and that buttery note carries all the way into and around the finish. Though it spent just nine months in 20% new French oak, the palate and flavors suggest that it went through full malolactic. It's a stylistic choice that will delight many Chardonnay lovers. | Elton | 88 | 45 | Oregon | Eola-Amity Hills | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Willamette Valley Vineyards 2014 Elton Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills) | Chardonnay | Willamette Valley Vineyards |

| 63915 | 63914 | US | Attractive, strong oak accents like charcoal and bacon dress up this full-bodied, high-octane wine. The palate is bold and ripe, with dark fruit flavors.

| 63916 | 63915 | Australia | Fresh berry-salad aromas suggest tart, just-ripe summer fruits in this medium-bodied Shiraz filled with crunchy fruit.

| 63918 | 63917 | US | Earthy, funky black tea and forest floor invite one in for further exploration of this block-specific offering that becomes lean and bright on the palate.

| 63919 | 63918 | US | Medium weight and roundly fruity, this pleasant wine carries a touch of minerality.

| 63920 | 63919 | US | Though labeled a white wine, this more properly may be called a rosé.

| 63921 | 63920 | US | This 100% Grenache pink wine kicks off with a fairly light nose that shyly presents steely aromas of lemon wedge.

Texture is key here. | | 88 | 20 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Archium 2015 Rosé (Santa Barbara County) | Rosé | Archium |
| 63922 | 63921 | US | This represents a softer, more subtle side of the variety, holding back on overripeness in favor of simple leather, compost and black pepper. Touches of unearthed truffle offer the wine's one note of richness. | Estate Grown | 88 | 24 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Balletto 2013 Estate Grown Zinfandel (Russian River Valley) | Zinfandel | Balletto |
| 63923 | 63922 | Portugal | This Port comes from a good year for single-quinta vintages. Made in open stone lagars, it is a ripe, black-fruited wine, packed with sweet plums as well as raisins and figs. At this stage, the added brandy is very prominent and the wine needs time. It should be ready to drink for its fruit by 2018, for its maturity by 2026. | Vintage | 88 | 84 | Port | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta Vale Dona Maria 2014 Vintage (Port) | Port | Quinta Vale Dona Maria |

| 63926 | 63925 | France | Based in Chamery on the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, this producer has made an immediately attractive nonvintage wine.

| 63927 | 63926 | Portugal | The wine has the character of a perfumed Moscatel from Setúbal, but is in fact from Fernão Pires. It has a rich—never heavy—feel to it, flavors of caramel and smokiness from wood aging. Consider this as an apéritif, rather than as a dessert wine. | Abafado 5-years | 88 | 13 | Vinho Licoroso | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta da Alorna NV Abafado 5-years Fernão Pires (Vinho Licoroso) | Fernão Pires | Quinta da Alorna |

| 63929 | 63928 | US | Light in color and body, with a silky texture and cherry, cola, bacon and peppery spice flavors, this Grenache could be easily mistaken for Pinot Noir.
