| 65131 | 65130 | France | For a Listrac, this is soft and open, a generous wine that has weight while showing ripe Merlot character. Full black plum skin flavors go with spice, licorice and touches of wood. It's ready to drink now. | | 87 | | Bordeaux | Listrac-Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Grands Terroirs de France 2010 Listrac-Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Grands Terroirs de France |
| 65132 | 65131 | US | Peppery and tasting of freshly picked blackberries, Haraszthy's old-vine Lodi Zinfandel has a gamy, austere, dusty quality, and is more restrained than in some years past. Pair with anything grilled. | Old Vine | 87 | 20 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Haraszthy 2010 Old Vine Zinfandel (Lodi) | Zinfandel | Haraszthy |
| 65133 | 65132 | Spain | This is a bit old fashioned on the nose, where vanilla, dried fruit and dill aromas hold court. A dry, traditional type of palate delivers spiced plum, red cherry and mild herbal flavors in front of a light-bodied, slightly oaky tasting finish. | Crianza | 87 | 15 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Bujanda 2009 Crianza (Rioja) | Tempranillo | Viña Bujanda |
| 65134 | 65133 | Italy | Here's a snappy and bright Falanghina (that spends some time in wood barrel) with aromas of citrus, tangerine skin, green melon and peach backed by just a shy touch of vanilla and bitter almond. | | 87 | 14 | Southern Italy | Pompeiano | | | | Vini Iovine 2011 Falanghina (Pompeiano) | Falanghina | Vini Iovine |
| 65135 | 65134 | Italy | This delightful rosato (made from the Lagrein grape of Northern Italy) opens with fragrant tones of wild berry, white almond, stone fruit, white cherry and sweet cassis. It feels fresh and light in the mouth and would pair with smoked salmon. | | 87 | 18 | Northeastern Italy | Alto Adige | | | | Muri-Gries 2011 Lagrein (Alto Adige) | Lagrein | Muri-Gries |
| 65136 | 65135 | Spain | This mature blend of Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc and Macabeo is oily, plump and fragrant, but also blocky, chunky and on its last legs of freshness. Flowery peach, melon and papaya flavors end short, with an oily mouthfeel. | | 87 | 40 | Northern Spain | Empordà | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Oliver Conti 2009 White (Empordà) | White Blend | Oliver Conti |
| 65137 | 65136 | US | Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with four other Bordeaux varieties in the mix, this wine brings an aromatic medley of cherry cola, dark chocolate, and light medicinal notes. The flavors don't entirely meld with the oak showing a bit too prominently, offset by grainy tannins. | Red Wine Destiny Ridge Vineyards | 87 | 40 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | One 2009 Red Wine Destiny Ridge Vineyards Red (Horse Heaven Hills) | Red Blend | One |
| 65138 | 65137 | Spain | The nose on this regularly solid Verdejo is mild, with aromas of apple, pear and melon. The palate is round and a touch fleshy, with modest acidity pushing pithy peach and pear flavors. The finish tastes of almond skins and apple. | | 87 | 13 | Northern Spain | Rueda | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Palacio de Bornos 2012 Verdejo (Rueda) | Verdejo | Palacio de Bornos |
| 65139 | 65138 | Italy | A touch of strawberry jam at the outset suggests that the fruit came out of the vineyard a little on the overripe side. Plum, cherry and blackberry preserves are backed by spice and rock solid astringency that is characteristic of Sagrantino. | Colle alle Macchie | 87 | 77 | Central Italy | Montefalco Sagrantino | | | | Tabarrini 2006 Colle alle Macchie (Montefalco Sagrantino) | Sagrantino | Tabarrini |
| 65140 | 65139 | Spain | This is the first table wine to come from this Cava producer and it has its ups and downs. The bouquet smells like Sprite with peach, while the palate is crisp, citric and pointed, with orange and lime flavors and an oxidized, stalky note to the finish. This is good but middle of the road as white wines go. | XII Subirat Parent | 87 | 29 | Catalonia | Penedès | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Agustí Torelló Mata 2010 XII Subirat Parent Malvasia (Penedès) | Malvasia | Agustí Torelló Mata |
| 65141 | 65140 | US | For its bold footprint (and the amount of wood aging it went through) this rich Zinfandel offers a depth of pleasant berry flavor and a measured texture, with a savory edge on the finish. | Big Wood | 87 | 32 | California | Livermore Valley | Central Coast | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Wood Family Vineyards 2010 Big Wood Zinfandel (Livermore Valley) | Zinfandel | Wood Family Vineyards |
| 65142 | 65141 | US | This is a broadly fruity, wide open style with fresh melon, pink grapefruit and orange marmalade flavors criss-crossing the palate. It's ready to enjoy right now, low in alcohol, with a touch of marshmallow sweetness to cut the acid. | Copper Lily | 87 | 13 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Zero One Vintners 2011 Copper Lily Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Sauvignon Blanc | Zero One Vintners |
| 65143 | 65142 | Italy | Made with the Friulano grape (with small percentages of international varieties), this is a freshly floral and intense Italian white with lingering tones of peach and honeysuckle. It shows creamy richness in the mouth. | Vigne | 87 | | Northeastern Italy | Collio | | | | Zuani 2011 Vigne White (Collio) | White Blend | Zuani |
| 65144 | 65143 | US | Pair this Syrah with the right food, and it will be fantastic. The wine does need some intervention via pairings to tame its exuberantly ripe red fruits, mocha and smoky oak. | Gesture | 87 | 35 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | J. Lohr 2009 Gesture Syrah (Paso Robles) | Syrah | J. Lohr |
| 65145 | 65144 | Austria | One of two grapes found exclusively in Thermenregion (the other is Rotgipfler), Zierfandler, as here, produces floral wines with intense acidity. This wine is bright, lemon and pear fruits cutting the texture. There is just a touch of sweetness to balance all the acidity. | Spiegel | 87 | 42 | Thermenregion | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Johanneshof Reinisch 2011 Spiegel Zierfandler (Thermenregion) | Zierfandler | Johanneshof Reinisch |
| 65146 | 65145 | Italy | Luna Selvatica (“wild moon”) is an easy and straightforward expression of Cabernet Sauvignon that shows dark fruit, cola, licorice and a touch of toasted spice. In the mouth, the wine shows alcoholic power and some grittiness on the finish. | Luna Selvatica | 87 | 39 | Central Italy | Colli Piacentini | | | | La Tosa 2009 Luna Selvatica Cabernet Sauvignon (Colli Piacentini) | Cabernet Sauvignon | La Tosa |
| 65147 | 65146 | US | This is a light, streamlined Syrah, boasting brown sugar, baking spice and bramble berry notes over a stream of red currant and white pepper. | | 85 | 19 | Virginia | Virginia | | Alexander Peartree | | Rosemont 2013 Syrah (Virginia) | Syrah | Rosemont |
| 65148 | 65147 | Portugal | There is plenty of acidity here, giving a fresh, fruity wine that tastes young. It is full of red-berry and sultana flavors with a fine lift at the end. | Imperial Reserve | 85 | 18 | Port | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Sandeman NV Imperial Reserve (Port) | Port | Sandeman |
| 65149 | 65148 | France | This open, fruity wine is ready to drink. It offers some spice as well as a light smattering of apple and toast flavors. The aftertaste is all about fruit and acidity. | | 85 | 30 | Burgundy | Saint-Véran | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Beauregard 2014 Saint-Véran | Chardonnay | Château de Beauregard |
| 65150 | 65149 | Portugal | With both soft and red fruits, this is a gentle, easy wine that has only a hint of tawny character. The acidity is enough to keep it light and perfumed at the end. | Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny | 85 | 20 | Port | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Ferreira NV Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny (Port) | Port | Ferreira |
| 65151 | 65150 | Argentina | Jammy, stewy berry aromas are accented by brick dust and sweet oak that smells like plastic. Saturated, jammy and clumsy in feel, this tastes of baked, peppery black fruits and oak. Finishing notes of chocolate, herbs and licorice are chunky and a touch hot. | | 85 | 19 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Mas 2015 Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Mas |
| 65152 | 65151 | Argentina | Earthy aromas of plum, leather and corn tortilla are sketchy. This feels full but sort of flat, with soupy, herbal berry flavors. Olive, weedy notes and saucy berry flavors control the finish. | | 85 | 13 | Mendoza Province | Luján de Cuyo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Nieto Senetiner 2014 Bonarda (Luján de Cuyo) | Bonarda | Nieto Senetiner |
| 65153 | 65152 | France | This lush wine leads with rich aromas of vanilla-infused blackberry, raspberry preserves and plum sauce. The medium-weight palate is plush and velvety in texture, with supple blackberry and plum flavors that carry through to the medium-length finish. | Bin 168 | 85 | 10 | France Other | Vin de France | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Kiwi Cuvée 2015 Bin 168 Malbec (Vin de France) | Malbec | Kiwi Cuvée |

| 65155 | 65154 | US | Pineapple rind, steely lemon and white flowers carry the notes of this blend of Roussanne, Chardonnay and Viognier. The palate is broad and buttery in feel, with a string of acids that cut the finish short. | 1836 | 85 | 20 | Texas | Texas | | Alexander Peartree | | Llano Estacado 2014 1836 White (Texas) | White Blend | Llano Estacado |
| 65156 | 65155 | France | Aromas of yellow melon and flowers form the core of the bouquet, with additional hints of straw and grapefruit peel in the background. The light-weight palate offers good balance, with rich tropical-fruit tones of pineapple and mango that finish clean and mouthwatering. | | 85 | 10 | France Other | Vin de France | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Louis de Camponac 2015 White (Vin de France) | White Blend | Louis de Camponac |
| 65157 | 65156 | Italy | This opens with aromas suggesting weedy forest floor, stewed prune, leather and grilled porcini mushroom. The palate is on the raw side, offering tart sour cherry and a hint of dark cooking spice alongside raspy, grainy tannins that dry out the finish. | | 85 | 37 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Luca Bosio 2013 Barbaresco | Nebbiolo | Luca Bosio |
| 65158 | 65157 | Turkey | This offers a bouquet of peach and honeysuckle.

| 65159 | 65158 | Portugal | Produced in the Lima Valley, in the heart of the Vinho Verde region, this is fruity and crisp.
