| 66334 | 66333 | Chile | A clean, basic red wine that's focused on standard berry and cherry aromas and flavors.

| 66335 | 66334 | US | Combines ripe, sweet flavors of pineapples and apricots with green mint, accented with strong acidity, to produce an awkward, unbalanced wine.

| 66338 | 66337 | Argentina | Formely known as Winemaker's Selection, this base-level Malbec is ultra purple and dark, with gritty, grapey aromas that are big but not all that well formed. The palate is heavy and tannic, with juicy, semi-green flavors of blackberry and boysenberry.

| 66343 | 66342 | France | With subtle wood aging, this is a smooth wine that has hints of toast over its delicious white and apricot fruits.

| 66350 | 66349 | New Zealand | The Crossings is based in the Awatere subregion of Marlborough, where ripening is more difficult than the main valley because of cooler temperatures. That evidently wasn't an issue in 2013, as this wine features ripe black-cherry fruit and a creamy texture. Hints of herb and cocoa chime in on the supple finish. | | 88 | 19 | Marlborough | | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | The Crossings 2013 Pinot Noir (Marlborough) | Pinot Noir | The Crossings |

| 66358 | 66357 | US | A beautiful yet rustic complexity always makes Bloomer Creek Rieslings stand out within a blind tasting of peers, and it's particularly prominent here. While bright and citrusy, it's also waxy and phenolic, touched with a hint of tannin and lingering earth tones. Dancing and delicate in texture, it's a fascinating wine to ponder. | Tanzen Dame Morehouse Road Dry | 88 | 26 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C.

| 66359 | 66358 | US | There is a port-like character to this take on a once popular, now rare grape, grown in a historic corner of the Santa Clara Valley. It shows raisins, prunes and dried fig aromas, but not in a treacly way. Heavy and tannic on the palate, it's quite interesting though not entirely smooth, with more prune and rose-hip tea flavors. | | 88 | 40 | California | Santa Clara Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Fortino 2010 Charbono (Santa Clara Valley) | Charbono | Fortino |
| 66360 | 66359 | US | This certified organic and biodynamic wine has no sulfites added. It offers deep color plus bold black cherry and smoke aromas.
