| 71268 | 71267 | Portugal | There was probably too much wood aging of this wine. It shows in the woody character which threatens to smother the black-currant fruit. The acidity at the end helps to give the wine some attraction. | Reserva | 84 | 12 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta da Lapa 2013 Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Tejo) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Quinta da Lapa |

| 71271 | 71270 | US | This blend of 33% Cabernet Franc, 27% Merlot, 27% Petit Verdot and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon is mildly concentrated on the nose and palate, with rubbery blackberry, cranberry juice and geranium leading the way. Light bodied, with a soft grip of tannins, these flavors lead to a short finish of green peppercorn. | Kilravock | 84 | 33 | Virginia | Virginia | | Alexander Peartree | | Rosemont 2013 Kilravock Red (Virginia) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Rosemont |
| 71272 | 71271 | US | Underripe red plum and currant aromas are flecked with prickly fern notes on the nose.

| 71273 | 71272 | US | This is a very sweet wine, with aromas like cotton candy and marshmallows, flavors like extra-sweet lemonade, and a syrupy texture. | | 84 | 12 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Moscato Bella 2013 Muscat Canelli (California) | Muscat Canelli | Moscato Bella |
| 71251 | 71250 | Argentina | Early aromas of sea shell and chalk dust transition first to apricot and mango and later to wood grain. This wine feels plump but dilute, with moderate intensity and depth. Flavors of tropical fruits, banana and dry oak evaporate on the finish into undefined mildness. | Reserva | 87 | 20 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Terrazas de Los Andes 2016 Reserva Chardonnay (Uco Valley) | Chardonnay | Terrazas de Los Andes |
| 71252 | 71251 | Canada | This Bordeaux-style blend comprises 68% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and a splash each of Malbec and Petit Verdot. The massive tannins dominate, to the detriment of balance and fruit. Perhaps those tannins will mellow with ample age, but that's a ways off. Right now it offers hints of plum and cherry, a dash of mocha, and a lot of stem and earthy tannins. | Reserve 7 | 87 | 33 | British Columbia | Okanagan Valley | | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Township 7 2014 Reserve 7 Red (Okanagan Valley) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Township 7 |
| 71274 | 71273 | Italy | French oak, coconut and roasted coffee bean aromas dominate the nose. The bracing palate offers oak extract, raw cherry, sour cranberry, a green note of powdered sage and oak-driven spice. It lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the oak while raspy tannins leave an extremely astringent finish and dry out the tongue. | | 84 | 33 | Piedmont | Barbaresco | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | La Bioca 2013 Barbaresco | Nebbiolo | La Bioca |
| 71253 | 71252 | Spain | Raisiny aromas are accompanied by a chocolate note on the nose. This Garnacha is rough and punchy on the palate, with tart currant and plum flavors that run counter to the nose. Prior to an abrasive but energetic finish, this tastes herbal and oaky. | Suzzane | 87 | 75 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Oxer Basteguieta 2014 Suzzane (Rioja) | Garnacha | Oxer Basteguieta |
| 71254 | 71253 | France | The nonvintage blend from this venerable producer is as balanced as all its Champagnes. It steers a fine course between acidity and crispness and a softer riper dosage.

| 71275 | 71274 | France | Crisp aromas of lemon, melon rind and underripe pear are not overly intense but at the center of the bouquet.

| 71259 | 71258 | US | Waxy crayon, petrol and steely lemon aromas mark the closed bouquet. The palate shows some decent weight, yet disparate acids give a sharp feeling.

| 71262 | 71261 | US | The first impression is that this is slightly off dry. It's a 50-50 blend of saignéed Syrah and lightly pressed Pinot Noir. It's tannic and disjointed, with sour watermelon and lemon flavors, despite that first hint of sweetness. | Rustique | 84 | 21 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Coeur de Terre 2015 Rustique Rosé (Willamette Valley) | Rosé | Coeur de Terre |
| 71263 | 71262 | Argentina | Deep purple in color, with jammy boysenberry aromas, this smells like it has a burnt topping. Formless on the palate, this is mostly a big, extracted, scattered Malbec that's grapy and dark but devoid of complexities. | Reserva | 84 | 19 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Los Clop 2012 Reserva Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Los Clop |
