6981169810FranceA light and soft wine, this is gently fruity with some attractive acidity. The wine is on the bland side, clean but without much interest. Drinkable now.Château Saint-Honoré8418ProvenceCôtes de Provence La LondeRoger Voss@vossrogerFabre en Provence 2016 Château Saint-Honoré Rosé (Côtes de Provence La Londe)RoséFabre en Provence
6981269811ItalyFresh and simple, this lean white has subdued flavors suggesting yellow apple and citrus while bright acidity gives it a crisp if short finish. Pour at informal gatherings or drink as a breezy aperitivo.8418VenetoSoaveKerin O’Keefe@kerinokeefeFolonari 2015 SoaveGarganegaFolonari
6981369812ArgentinaThis high-altitude Malbec, purportedly the highest in the world, seems to have touched the sun. This is flat-out stewed, pruny and flat, with floral grapy exotic aromas. It's not balanced and the acidity is very low, but still this offers some interesting notes.Altura Maxima83125OtherSaltaMichael Schachner@wineschachColomé 2012 Altura Maxima Malbec (Salta)MalbecColomé
6981469813USMalbec makes up just under half of this wine, with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot. Despite its young age, it seems quite evolved with aromas and flavors of raisins and dried cherry.Genesis8312WashingtonColumbia Valley (WA)Columbia ValleySean P. Sullivan@wawinereportHogue 2014 Genesis Meritage (Columbia Valley (WA))MeritageHogue
6981569814ArgentinaBurnt slightly acrid aromas lead to a grabby palate. This tastes more salty than fruity, while a note of spent lees creates a wheaty flavor. A low fruit quotient is contiguous from nose to palate to finish.Estate Bottled8310Mendoza ProvinceMendozaMichael Schachner@wineschachPindal 2016 Estate Bottled Torrontés (Mendoza)TorrontésPindal
6981669815SpainA crisp nose is trimmed with light citrus and chewing gum notes. Hollow on the palate, this deals dilute citrus and nectarine flavors in front of a quickly fading finish.Zarautz8324Northern SpainMichael Schachner@wineschachTxakoli Primo 2016 Zarautz RoséRoséTxakoli Primo
6981769816USMeaty, sanguine and flat, this wine shows a reduced whiff of burnt rubber and tar. Red, brambly fruit attempts to make itself heard amidst a din of powerful ripeness.Botticelli Reserve8360CaliforniaRockpileSonomaVirginie Boone@vbooneWilson 2014 Botticelli Reserve Zinfandel (Rockpile)ZinfandelWilson
6981869817USThis is a sturdy, dry wine with hefty texture and straightforward, almost neutral flavors. It has an unusual salmon-amber color, light peach aromas and slightly earthy notes on the palate.AMB8325CaliforniaCaliforniaCalifornia OtherJim Gordon@gordone_cellarsAmbrose 2015 AMB Rosé (California)RoséAmbrose
6981969818SpainCheesy aromas and a whiff of wet cement are more pronounced than basic plum scents. This tastes of candied fruits and chocolate prior to a simple sweet, sugary finish.8311Northern SpainCalatayudMichael Schachner@wineschachLas Capas 2015 Red (Calatayud)Red BlendLas Capas
6982069819SpainHeavily oaked aromas are dominated by forceful notes of clove and spice. This has a dry raw mouthfeel and flavors that are far more woody and like a campfire than fruity. It's ultradry and pulling on the finish.Barrica8313Northern SpainRibera del DueroMichael Schachner@wineschachMartín Berdugo 2015 Barrica (Ribera del Duero)TempranilloMartín Berdugo
6982169820FranceThe wine is so light and pale in color, it just hints at fruitiness. It seems as if by taking out the color, the producer has also taken out the flavor. The wine is drinkable, but bland.83ProvenceCoteaux d'Aix-en-ProvenceRoger Voss@vossrogerDomaine de la Pomme de Pin 2016 Rosé (Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence)RoséDomaine de la Pomme de Pin
6982269821SpainWild berry aromas are foxy and smell a bit like vinegar. This dark young Tempranillo is severely tannic and hard as rocks. Blackberry and boysenberry flavors finish salty and with rugged leftover tannins.Tinto Fino Roble8320Northern SpainRibera del DueroMichael Schachner@wineschachEmina 2016 Tinto Fino Roble (Ribera del Duero)TempranilloEmina
6982369822SpainFlat doughy aromas smell cooked and stewy. In the mouth, this shows pointy acidity and overripe fruit flavors. Raisiny flavors are stewy on the finish.Clásico Crianza8318Northern SpainRiojaMichael Schachner@wineschachBodegas Olarra 2014 Clásico Crianza (Rioja)Tempranillo BlendBodegas Olarra
6982469823USWet earth, pine needle and floral aromas and assertive menthol and lanolin flavors lend a bold, unorthodox personality to this full-bodied wine-in-a-can.Finley Road Vineyard8310CaliforniaLake CountyJim Gordon@gordone_cellarsSans Wine Co 2016 Finley Road Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Lake County)Sauvignon BlancSans Wine Co
6982569824AustriaThe plummy, cherry-like fruit of St. Laurent and its soft, pliable, smooth nature are well captured here. This is a very juicy, easy-drinking rendition that would also work chilled. Drink soon.8813BurgenlandAnne Krebiehl MW@AnneInVinoZantho 2013 St. Laurent (Burgenland)St. LaurentZantho
6982669825AustriaFragrant hints of white summer blossom also hold a riper, fruitier, almost tropical promise.

6982969828FranceThis attractive, citrus-driven blend of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc comes from an estate created by the Knights Templar in the 13th century. It owes a lot to the Sauvignon in its tight herbal character. Lemon and grapefruit fruits are filled out with more exotic pineapple and mango flavors. The wine is a little young to drink now so try waiting until late 2016.8819ProvenceCoteaux d'Aix-en-ProvenceRoger Voss@vossrogerCommanderie de la Bargemone 2015 White (Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence)Provence white blendCommanderie de la Bargemone
