| 69961 | 69960 | US | Mainly Syrah, with lesser amounts of Grenache and Mourvèdre, this is a very soft, sweet, fruity wine. It tastes like a dried raspberry, milk chocolate, brown sugar and nougat candy confection, with enormously high alcohol. | Diosa | 85 | 58 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | | | Summerwood 2008 Diosa G-S-M (Paso Robles) | G-S-M | Summerwood |
| 69962 | 69961 | Chile | Fleshy, tropical aromas with a touch of varietal snap set up a green palate with sweet lime and scallion flavors. The finish shows ripeness and tropical notes before turning heavy. Drink this well chilled. | U Estate Grown | 85 | 11 | Maipo Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Undurraga 2012 U Estate Grown Sauvignon Blanc (Maipo Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Undurraga |
| 69963 | 69962 | Chile | Mild citrus aromas come with green notes. This is a medium-level Sauvignon Blanc without a lot of acidic snap. Melon and grapefruit flavors are friendly, simple and chunky, while overall this shows characterisitcs of a warm, bland vintage. | La Gloria | 85 | 12 | Casablanca Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Veramonte 2012 La Gloria Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Veramonte |
| 69964 | 69963 | France | An attractively fruity wine—fragrant, fresh and with a touch of tannin. Raspberry flavors give the wine a good lift. Drink it this year. | Château Pérenne | 85 | 12 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Bernard Magrez 2012 Château Pérenne Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Bernard Magrez |
| 69965 | 69964 | US | A little fizzy and very fruity, with candied orange, peach and green apple flavors. With a honey-date richness, it's like a wine granola bar. | | 85 | 13 | California | Monterey County | Central Coast | | | 10Span 2012 Pinot Gris (Monterey County) | Pinot Gris | 10Span |
| 69966 | 69965 | US | Sourced from Les Collines vineyard, one of Walla Walla's best, this 100% Syrah opens with characteristic scents of smoke and bacon and black cherry. But in the mouth it has a syrupy flavor, somewhat medicinal, and dense tannins. | | 85 | 30 | Washington | Walla Walla Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Holmes Harbor Cellars 2009 Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA)) | Syrah | Holmes Harbor Cellars |
| 69967 | 69966 | Italy | This could be in a mute phase, but this straight Barbaresco is inexpressive right now. While the nose shows hints of violet and herb, the palate reveals only modest hints of cherry and spice. | | 85 | 35 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Borgogno F.lli Serio e Battista 2009 Barbaresco | Nebbiolo | Borgogno F.lli Serio e Battista |
| 69968 | 69967 | Chile | Bright raspberry and leather aromas set up a tight palate ringing with acidity. That creates a narrow flavor profile with drawn cherry and currant flavors. A minty, lightly herbal finish carries notes of leather and oak-based bacon, which frankly seems a bit forced given the simplicity of the wine. | | 85 | 14 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Calcu 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Calcu |
| 69969 | 69968 | US | This lightly aromatic Malbec has notes of plum and wood spice.

| 69970 | 69969 | US | This youthful rosé spent 16 hours on the skins, then was fermented and aged in stainless steel. It's light and tart, best enjoyed well-chilled on a hot summer day. | Rosé | 85 | 18 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Castillo De Feliciana 2012 Rosé Tempranillo (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Tempranillo | Castillo De Feliciana |
| 69971 | 69970 | France | This is a ripe wine, its herbaceous character tempered by green plum and pineapple flavors. It's full in the mouth, with a hint of steeliness to give texture. Great to drink this summer. | | 85 | 12 | Southwest France | Côtes de Gascogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de l'Herré 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (Côtes de Gascogne) | Sauvignon Blanc | Domaine de l'Herré |
| 69972 | 69971 | France | Ripe fruit suggests a wine that is soft, juicy and unlikely to age for long. It has red berry flavors, attractive tannins and fine finishing acidity. | Selection Exceptionelle | 85 | 22 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Supérieur | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Gamage 2011 Selection Exceptionelle (Bordeaux Supérieur) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Gamage |
| 69973 | 69972 | US | Underripe, with green grass, gooseberry aromas and flavors.

| 69974 | 69973 | Chile | Aromas of passion fruit, tangerine, bell pepper and grass lead to a plump palate with soft acids. Flavors of pithy, slightly bitter green fruits, bell pepper and passion fruit end in a modest finish that rapidly loses steam. | Tama Vineyard Selection | 85 | 15 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Anakena 2012 Tama Vineyard Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Anakena |
| 69975 | 69974 | Chile | This opens with hard, charred, rubbery aromas. The palate feels tangy and shear, with jumpy acidity that creates raw raspberry and herbal flavors. The finish is similar: bold acidity, oak-based toast notes and herbal red-fruit flavors. | | 85 | | Aconcagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Arboleda 2011 Pinot Noir (Aconcagua Valley) | Pinot Noir | Arboleda |
| 69976 | 69975 | US | The Southern Exposure wines come from the original Grandpere Vineyard planted well over a hundred years ago. In this expression the wine shows olive, tar brick and leather qualities and is juicy if not a touch disheveled, with a long spicy finish. | Southern Exposure | 85 | 35 | California | Shenandoah Valley (CA) | Sierra Foothills | Virginie Boone | @vboone | C.G. di Arie 2007 Southern Exposure Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA)) | Zinfandel | C.G. di Arie |

| 69979 | 69978 | Austria | Fruity, light and strawberry flavored, this wine is just a touch off dry. Bright acidity gives it freshness and a citrus aftertaste. It's a wine for drinking this summer.

| 69980 | 69979 | Austria | This is a slightly spicy wine that's rounded and quite rich in style. It leans towards a tropical character although textured and still quite youthful. Give this attractive, ripe wine another six months or so to develop. Screwcap. | | 85 | | Niederösterreich | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Markus Huber 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (Niederösterreich) | Sauvignon Blanc | Markus Huber |
| 69981 | 69980 | US | A unique blend of Syrah, Barbera, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Mourvèdre all aged in neutral oak, it's a straightforward, easy drinker with sweet notes of plum, cracked pepper and tire rubber. | Horsepower Proprietary | 85 | 16 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P.

| 69986 | 69985 | US | You'll find delicious cherry pie, cola, rhubarb and spicy gummi candy flavors in this Pinot Noir, which makes it easy to drink especially with Pinot-friendly foods like lamb or even a gently grilled tuna steak. It's too soft for aging, so drink over the next year or two. | River Road Ranch | 87 | 35 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Trione 2010 River Road Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) | Pinot Noir | Trione |

| 69989 | 69988 | US | From a tiny patch in the tiny Guenoc Valley, where the Langtry winery lies, this Sauvignon Blanc is partially barrel fermented, and it shows in the texture. In taste, expect Mandarin orange and melon, along with acidity that's high and mighty. | Lillie Vineyard | 87 | 25 | California | Guenoc Valley | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Langtry 2012 Lillie Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Guenoc Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Langtry |
