| 66231 | 66230 | US | In perfect proportion, this estate-grown, biodynamically farmed wine brings a sweet-tart fruit intensity to bear. Citrusy flavors of pith and skin are skillfully wedded to ripe, substantial apricot and melon fruit, with none of the bitterness this grape can sometimes display. The purity is impressive. | | 91 | 35 | Oregon | Applegate Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Cowhorn 2014 Viognier (Applegate Valley) | Viognier | Cowhorn |
| 66232 | 66231 | Spain | Hailing from a hot, dry year, this single-vineyard Rioja smells grapy and like cassis and fresh herbs. In the mouth, it's loud on the attack but doesn't sport the structure of previous vintages. Short black-fruit flavors pick up complexity and depth with airing, but a quiet, jammy finish confirms that this is up to par but not one of Artadi's standout wines. Drink through 2022. | Valdegines | 91 | 65 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Artadi 2012 Valdegines (Rioja) | Tempranillo | Artadi |
| 66233 | 66232 | US | Hot gravel and blackberry fruit combine for straightforward, light-on-the-feet aromas on this bottling from a small estate near Happy Canyon. Cherry and blackberry pie flavors show on the palate, with tart, fresh berries framed by a buttery crust. | Solus Estate | 91 | 34 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Baehner Fournier 2012 Solus Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Baehner Fournier |

| 66236 | 66235 | France | From the famous Morgon hillside of Côte de Py, this is a firm and structured wine. It shows the aging possibility of a Beaujolais, rich and full of firm tannins that come straight from the granite soil. The wine will develop well, packed with dark plum fruit that has a great shot of acidity. Drink from 2017. | Cuvée du Py | 91 | 26 | Beaujolais | Morgon | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Pizay 2013 Cuvée du Py (Morgon) | Gamay | Château de Pizay |
| 66237 | 66236 | Italy | Fragrant and refined, this offers scents of white spring flowers, citrus peel, yellow orchard fruit and a whiff of bread crust. The creamy palate doles out candied lemon drop, ripe golden apple and toasted almond alongside an elegant perlage. | Flavio | 91 | 49 | Northeastern Italy | Trento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Rotari 2007 Flavio Chardonnay (Trento) | Chardonnay | Rotari |
| 66238 | 66237 | US | From a fantastic vineyard site in the heart of Yountville, this 100% varietal wine is from Block 2, Clone 2, which is why the label refers to it as C2B2. Brick, tar and smoke take the lead before restrained and concentrated red fruit enters the frame. Generous tannin suggests cellaring, through 2022. | Sleeping Lady Vineyard | 91 | 125 | California | Yountville | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Rowland 2012 Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Yountville) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Rowland |
| 66211 | 66210 | South Africa | Dark fruit-skin notes of plum and cherry lead the nose of this wine, with additional hints of black licorice, tobacco and fudge. Brambly fruit flavors dominate the medium-weight palate, with secondary hints of toasted wood and cocoa powder that hang-on through to the finish. | | 86 | 15 | Stellenbosch | | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Simonsig 2010 Pinotage (Stellenbosch) | Pinotage | Simonsig |
| 66239 | 66238 | South Africa | This is a ripe and dense yet well-balanced wine, offering forward aromas of boysenberry and deep, juicy red plum that are accented by notes of cocoa nib, roasted espresso and char. The palate boasts a plush texture, like crushed velvet, with gripping but not overly firm tannins and concentrated fruit flavors. Notes of licorice and earthy tobacco grace the long finish. Approachable now, but should evolve well through 2021. | | 91 | 29 | Stellenbosch | | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Rust en Vrede 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Rust en Vrede |
| 66240 | 66239 | Portugal | The wine is firm and dry, with concentrated tannins that are still masking the fruit.

| 66212 | 66211 | US | This blend is comprised of all five classic Bordeaux varieties, but unusually, led by Petit Verdot. The wine is inky dark and tannic with extracted blackberry flavors. High alcohol gives it a burn from the midpalate through the finish. | Red | 86 | 38 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | Hendry 2009 Red Red (Napa Valley) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Hendry |

| 66217 | 66216 | Chile | Neutral aromas are clean but devoid of specific fruit scents. This is regular in feel, with a bit of chunky weight. Baked, earthy flavors of black fruits and cocoa lose steam on a finish that turns soft and a little sticky. | Block Selection Reserve Block N. 16 | 86 | 12 | Limarí Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | La Playa 2011 Block Selection Reserve Block N. 16 Pinot Noir (Limarí Valley) | Pinot Noir | La Playa |

| 66222 | 66221 | Chile | Tropical fruit aromas come with nutty, oily grittiness. The palate is full and oaky, while core tropical flavors are barrel driven, honeyed and warm.
