| 73951 | 73950 | US | A curious rosé that relies on a touch of Tempranillo to color the Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Symphony grapes, this shows sour orange and light plum on the nose. Dried strawberry and orange rind appear on the sip, which is framed by decent acidity and light tannins. | Renaissance | 85 | 22 | California | California | California Other | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Reyes 2016 Renaissance Rosé (California) | Rosé | Reyes |

| 73954 | 73953 | Chile | A blanket of oak sits atop apple aromas. This is healthy and fresh in feel, but regular overall. Salty, lean, lightly oaked white-fruit flavors are briny on a racy finish. This is Chardonnay with 11% Pinot Blanc and Pinot Grigio. | Reserva Premium | 85 | 17 | Chile | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Trio 2015 Reserva Premium White (Chile) | White Blend | Trio |

| 73960 | 73959 | France | Although this wine has structure and acidity, it's lean, and the fruit seems to be missing. Spice and a smoky character give some pleasure. Drink from 2020. | | 85 | 19 | Bordeaux | Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Berthenon 2015 Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Berthenon |

| 73973 | 73972 | US | This fortified wine made from Seyval Blanc has lovely aromas of peach, ginger, butterscotch and marzipan. On the palate it's full of peach nectar, marzipan and Sprite.

| 73975 | 73974 | France | Hugely dense, foursquare wine with great fruit and the purest tannins. Chocolate and coffee predominate at the same time as sweet tannins and acidity. A wine that combines charm with great power. | | 95 | 163 | Bordeaux | Saint-Émilion | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Canon 2009 Saint-Émilion | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Canon |
| 73976 | 73975 | France | One of the peculiarities of St.-Émilion's classification is that Canon la Gaffelière is not classed in the top rung. Because, as this wine shows, it produces superb wines. This is ripe while so elegant, with great intensity and sweet perfumes. | | 95 | 110 | Bordeaux | Saint-Émilion | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Canon la Gaffelière 2009 Saint-Émilion | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Canon la Gaffelière |
| 73977 | 73976 | US | Certainly the finest Grand Ciel Syrah to date, this is a full-flavored, complete wine, loaded with pure fruit flavors of berry and cassis.

| 73978 | 73977 | US | A tremendous Chardonnay. As always, the winery's '09 is bone dry, crisply acidic and minerally. You might call it austere at this point, with its tart finish of grapefruit. But a great Hanzell Chardonnay will improve for at least a decade, possible two, and this is a great Hanzell Chardonnay. The score reflects what the wine likely will be approximately eight years down the road. | | 95 | 75 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Hanzell 2009 Chardonnay (Sonoma Valley) | Chardonnay | Hanzell |
| 73979 | 73978 | US | A sip is all it takes to fall in love with this potent Pinot Noir. Big tannins and crisp acidity make it hard to appreciate now, but there's a gigantic core of cherries and raspberries, with a firm minerality from the soil. Will develop bottle complexity over the years. Don't even think of popping the cork before 2015. | Flax Vineyard | 95 | 56 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Williams Selyem 2009 Flax Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) | Pinot Noir | Williams Selyem |
| 73980 | 73979 | US | From the winery's own Westside Road vineyard, formerly called Litton, comes this grandiose, if immature, Pinot Noir. In its youth it's all about primary, jammy raspberry and cherry fruit. On the edges are fine acidity, smooth tannins and a perfect appliqué of oak. Shows the hallmarks of this great, emerging vineyard, but needs serious time to come around. Try after 2015. | Estate Vineyard | 95 | 100 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Williams Selyem 2009 Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) | Pinot Noir | Williams Selyem |
