| 71672 | 71671 | US | A somewhat unusual expression of Viognier with notes of lime, lime leaf, and white peach that seem more reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | Valley View 2011 Anna Maria Viognier (Applegate Valley) | Viognier | Valley View |
| 71673 | 71672 | US | A lightly aromatic offering of Cabernet Franc with notes of cherry cola, medicine cabinet, and herbs. The palate leans heavily on the grainy tannic structure with the light fruit flavors accented by tart, fresh acidity | Wild One Estate Grown Cabernet Franc Destiny Ridge Vineyards | 86 | 42 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P.

| 71674 | 71673 | US | Very high alcohol gives this wine a hot, jalapeño pepper burn. Based on Zinfandel, the blend also includes Syrah and Petite Sirah.

| 71678 | 71677 | France | The entry wine of Château Lagrezette lives up to its name in the color. With its soft tannins, touch of smokiness and blackberry-juice fruit flavors, it's a fine showpiece for the more open side of Malbec. | Purple | 86 | 17 | Southwest France | Cahors | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Lagrézette 2011 Purple Malbec (Cahors) | Malbec | Château Lagrézette |
| 71679 | 71678 | US | With some new oak, this is an easy Sauvignon Blanc, with jammy oranges, pineapples and apricots.

| 71685 | 71684 | US | An estate-grown 81% Merlot (the rest Cabernet Sauvignon), this wine takes time to come around in the glass, the alcohol overpowering the fruit at first. But in time, the red fruit and soft tannins mellow and make themselves known and this mostly-Merlot becomes a savory, food-friendly quaff. | Lorilai's Reserve-Zmarzly Family Vineyards | 86 | 24 | California | Mendocino | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Albertina 2009 Lorilai's Reserve-Zmarzly Family Vineyards Merlot (Mendocino) | Merlot | Albertina |

| 71688 | 71687 | New Zealand | This wine's cranberry and raspberry fruit is framed by scents of smoky, toasty oak. It's light in body, with a tart, tangy finish.

| 71690 | 71689 | US | This wine needs to be decanted. At first the scents and flavors of green produce abound, and the fruit is masked. After some hours, it begins to show more fruit and less of the vegetal flavors, but remains a bit sharp and short. | | 86 | 31 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Helix by Reininger 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Helix by Reininger |
| 71691 | 71690 | France | The wine is full of acidity as well as bright raspberry and red currant fruits. It has a light, fresh feel that's given added weight by firmer fruit tannins and a concentrated dry aftertaste.

| 71692 | 71691 | Spain | This salmon-colored sparkler is fruity up front, with berry and cotton candy aromas. The palate is crisp and well cut, while flavors of nectarine, mango and honey finish crisp.

Garcia Carrion NV Opera Prima Pink Moscato Sparkling (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla) | Sparkling Blend | J. Garcia Carrion |
| 71693 | 71692 | US | The color goes from medium garnet in the middle to a light brownish on the rim. It smells like dried cherry, sage and toast, and tastes substantially fruity. The wine feels just structured enough by acidity and tannin for balance. | Walsh Ranch | 86 | 35 | California | Yorkville Highlands | North Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Judson Hale Winery 2012 Walsh Ranch Pinot Noir (Yorkville Highlands) | Pinot Noir | Judson Hale Winery |
| 71694 | 71693 | France | This traditional Southern Rhône blend features some attractive floral and herbal aromas some might call garrigue, but also an intrusive cruciferous note.

| 71695 | 71694 | Italy | Made from Sangiovese, with 5% Merlot and 5% Canaiolo and Mammolo, this features aromas that recall forest floor, wet leaves and baking spices. The forward palate offers vanilla, plum cake and baking spices but the fruit richness is starting to dry up. Enjoy soon. | | 86 | 25 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montepulciano | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Lunadoro 2010 Rosso di Montepulciano | Red Blend | Lunadoro |
| 71696 | 71695 | Spain | Light, tropical aromas of citrus fruits form the bouquet. This is fresh but standard in feel, with flavors of lettuce, green herbs, white fruits and brine. The finish feels reasonably good but doesn't offer much flavor. | Brut Nature Reserva | 86 | 13 | Catalonia | Cava | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Mas Fi NV Brut Nature Reserva Sparkling (Cava) | Sparkling Blend | Mas Fi |
| 71697 | 71696 | Italy | This robust, one-dimensional wine delivers mature fruit sensations of stewed prune, fig and resin, along with oak extract, vanilla and espresso. The palate is sugary sweet but lacks fruit richness. Drying wood tannins leave an astringent finish. | | 86 | 28 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Máté 2012 Rosso di Montalcino | Sangiovese | Máté |
| 71698 | 71697 | US | This full-bodied and apparently sweet Zinfandel drinks more like a Port than a dry wine. It smells like boysenberry syrup on waffles, has a juicy, soft texture, and raisin and prune flavors. | OGP Original Grandpere Vineyard | 86 | 29 | California | Amador County | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Noceto 2010 OGP Original Grandpere Vineyard Zinfandel (Amador County) | Zinfandel | Noceto |
| 71699 | 71698 | US | This blend is 44% Cab Franc, 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot. It's stubbornly closed, with aromas of tar, earth and rubber ball rather than fruit. Some brambly berry flavors can be found, but the finish seems hard and slightly bitter. | | 86 | 15 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | O•S Winery 2012 Red (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | O•S Winery |
