| 75572 | 75571 | US | This bottling, which is bolstered by 9% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec, shows zesty blackberry, boysenberry, thyme and cedar on the fruit-driven nose. The flavors are approachable and easy, with baked berries, black pepper and charred beef, laid across a very friendly and soft structure. | | 88 | 49 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Cass 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Cass |
| 75573 | 75572 | US | This Rhône blend offers dried red cherry, boysenberry and rose petals on the inviting nose. The Grenache is a powerful player, contributing a rosewater touch to the palate, alongside cranberry, caramel and a touch of cola. | | 88 | 25 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Cass 2014 G-S-M (Paso Robles) | G-S-M | Cass |
| 75574 | 75573 | France | Eight months of oak aging gives this wine its spicy, lightly toasty character. Ripe red apple and grapefruit flavors add to its richness. Finely balanced, it's ready to drink now. | Brut Carte Noire | 88 | 35 | Champagne | Champagne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Charlier & Fils NV Brut Carte Noire (Champagne) | Champagne Blend | Charlier & Fils |
| 75575 | 75574 | France | This soft and lightly herbal wine has a smooth texture that brings out its ripe red fruit and plays down its acidity. That makes it easy to drink, rich and generous on the finish. | Mira | 88 | 13 | France Other | Mediterranée | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Ferry Lacombe 2016 Mira Rosé (Mediterranée) | Rosé | Château Ferry Lacombe |
| 75576 | 75575 | US | Dark red cherry and raspberry blend with the slightest hints of thyme and slate on the nose of this bottling, which is made in a urban facility in the coastal city of Marina. There is a tangy cran-raspberry element to the sip, enhanced by licorice spice. | Tondre Grapefield | 88 | 45 | California | Santa Lucia Highlands | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Cima Collina 2013 Tondre Grapefield Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands) | Pinot Noir | Cima Collina |
| 75577 | 75576 | Italy | Made with 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot, this opens with aromas of black-skinned berry, underbrush and cooking spice. The savory palate offers black currant, clove and a whiff of white pepper alongside smooth tannins. Enjoy soon. | | 88 | 17 | Central Italy | Romagna | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Condé 2015 Sangiovese (Romagna) | Sangiovese | Condé |
| 75578 | 75577 | US | Juicy currant, cherry and a thickness of toffee makes for a full-bodied, densely rich and ripe reserve wine, dusty and fully extracted. | Crazy Creek Reserve | 88 | | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | DeLorimier 2013 Crazy Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | DeLorimier |
| 75582 | 75581 | Italy | Made with Piedirosso and Aglianico, this young juicy red opens with aromas of fragrant purple flower, dark berry, clove and a tarry note. The fresh easy-drinking palate doles out mouthfuls of red cherry, raspberry and brown pepper alongside soft tannins. Enjoy soon. | | 88 | 20 | Southern Italy | Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Feudi di San Gregorio 2015 Red (Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio) | Red Blend | Feudi di San Gregorio |
| 75579 | 75578 | US | Soft and pretty, this marries light spice to fruit flavors of apple and strawberry. Think blanc de noir without the sparkle and you're on the right trail. It's got substantial palate weight and a fairly thick mouthfeel. | White | 88 | 20 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Emerson 2015 White Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Emerson |
| 75580 | 75579 | US | Here is a good all-purpose and widely available Oregon Pinot Gris. It's got classic pear and apple fruit flavors, well balanced against tangy acidity. There's no oak here, but the whole cluster press brings some spicy phenolics. | | 88 | 15 | Oregon | Oregon | Oregon Other | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Eola Hills 2015 Pinot Gris (Oregon) | Pinot Gris | Eola Hills |
| 75581 | 75580 | Italy | Subtle aromas of black-skinned fruit and baking spice waft out of the glass. The straightforward palate evokes black plum, vanilla and tobacco while assertive tannins provide support. Drink through 2020. | Vigna delle Lepri | 88 | 35 | Central Italy | Romagna | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Fattoria Paradiso 2013 Vigna delle Lepri Sangiovese (Romagna) | Sangiovese | Fattoria Paradiso |
| 75583 | 75582 | US | Smoky and soft, this boldly made wine is medium-bodied but burly in char, baked blackberry and cocoa powder, a hint of tobacco never far. | | 88 | 42 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Dewitt 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Dewitt |
| 75584 | 75583 | Chile | This electric-pink rosé of Syrah opens with aromas of yeast, chewing gum and pie cherry. The palate is on the full side, but it's not flabby or awkward. Citric flavors are more generic than specific, while this finishes with a burst of preserving acidity and then a lasting note of spent yeast. | Cherub | 88 | 16 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Montes 2016 Cherub Rosé (Colchagua Valley) | Rosé | Montes |
| 75585 | 75584 | Australia | At a modest 12.5% abv, this is a medium-bodied, only slightly fleshy Chardonnay. Understated smoke and citrus aromas kick things off, followed by flavors of mandarin orange, lemon and toasted cashew that finish crisp and tart. | | 88 | 31 | South Australia | Eden Valley | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Heggies Vineyard 2014 Chardonnay (Eden Valley) | Chardonnay | Heggies Vineyard |
| 75586 | 75585 | US | This is clearly aimed at consumers who seek maximum power, aggressive tannins and the dark end of the flavor spectrum. Though down a bit from the 15.5% alcohol in 2012, it's still substantial. Dry roasted dark fruits are covered in brawnier flavors of coffee grounds, chocolate and graphite. Tannins are granular and carry some heat through the finish. | Founders Choice Estate | 88 | 35 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Treos 2013 Founders Choice Estate Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Treos |
| 75587 | 75586 | US | This wine is equal parts Dineen (Yakima) and Patina (Walla Walla) vineyard fruit. Aromas of blue plum, savory herb and peppery spices lead to light elegant flavors that provide enjoyment. | The Cynic | 88 | 40 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | TruthTeller 2014 The Cynic Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Syrah | TruthTeller |
| 75588 | 75587 | France | Reflecting the warm 2015 vintage, this is smooth and creamy. It has great fruitiness, recalling yellow fruit cut with a strong citrus streak. It's a wine to drink young, from late 2017. | Croix-Jarrier | 88 | 25 | Burgundy | Mâcon-Verze | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Vignerons des Terres Secrètes 2015 Croix-Jarrier (Mâcon-Verze) | Chardonnay | Vignerons des Terres Secrètes |
| 75589 | 75588 | Chile | Gritty aromas of charred beef and tar lead to a tight, drawing palate with hard tannins. Balsamic flavors of roasted plum, blackberry and green herbs finish tight, grating and with residual tannic bite. If you know Chilean Carmenère, this fits the mold. | Ecos de Rulo Single Vineyard El Chequén Estate | 88 | 20 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Bisquertt 2014 Ecos de Rulo Single Vineyard El Chequén Estate Carmenère (Colchagua Valley) | Carmenère | Viña Bisquertt |
| 75590 | 75589 | US | This has a dry finish with modest alcohol, and its emphasis is on phenolic flavors rather than the usual floral-perfumed aromas that characterize most versions of the grape. Here you'll find lemon rind, pineapple and tart, mineral-soaked acids. It's a fine match for white fish, shellfish, scallops or oysters. | Gloria Anne | 88 | 15 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Abiqua Wind 2015 Gloria Anne Gewürztraminer (Willamette Valley) | Gewürztraminer | Abiqua Wind |
| 75591 | 75590 | France | 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Grenache make this a flavorful and well structured Vin de Pays from the south of France. Fleshy in the mouth with ripe tannins, notes of black plum, blackberry, fennel and a hint of green pepper lead into the solid finish. | Cuvée Réservée | 85 | 13 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Vin de Pays des Coteaux de Bessilles | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Château Saint Martin de la Garrigue 2005 Cuvée Réservée Red (Vin de Pays des Coteaux de Bessilles) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Château Saint Martin de la Garrigue |
| 75592 | 75591 | US | The oak contributes buttered toast, butterscotch and caramel flavors to this dry, crisp wine, but the underlying fruit isn't strong enough to support all that weight. Shows only modest flavors of pineapples, kiwis and minerals. Disappointing. | Mitsuko's Vineyard | 85 | 25 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | | | Clos Pegase 2007 Mitsuko's Vineyard Chardonnay (Carneros) | Chardonnay | Clos Pegase |
| 75593 | 75592 | US | A very nice buy at this price. Dry and jammy, the wine features ripe flavors of blackberries, cherries, anise, cocoa and mint, with smoky, oaky notes and mouthwateringly crisp coastal acidity. | Selected Vineyards | 85 | 10 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | | | Concannon 2006 Selected Vineyards Syrah (Central Coast) | Syrah | Concannon |
| 75594 | 75593 | US | Dry and zesty in acidity, this Chard offers flavors of apricots, green apples, pears and butter cream. It's pretty good for this everyday price. | Selected Vineyards | 85 | 10 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | | | Concannon 2007 Selected Vineyards Chardonnay (Central Coast) | Chardonnay | Concannon |
| 75595 | 75594 | Italy | This simple Pinot Grigio offers some amber-golden highlights and aromas of peach, citrus and ash. The wine is clean and zippy in the mouth and works well with appetizers or as a cocktail selection. | | 85 | 12 | Northeastern Italy | Collio | | | | Cormòns 2007 Pinot Grigio (Collio) | Pinot Grigio | Cormòns |
| 75596 | 75595 | France | A somewhat strange nose of overripe mashed red plums and cherries with a strong herbal, piney core. More of the same in the medium weight mouth along with nuances of soft strawberries. Solid finish; drink now. | | 85 | 17 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Coteaux du Languedoc | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Domaine de Nizas 2004 Red (Coteaux du Languedoc) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Domaine de Nizas |
| 75597 | 75596 | Argentina | Aromas of roast plum and earth are a bit nutty and muddled, but overall this is a likable and slick wine with soft tannins and ripe candied-fruit flavors. With lushness and cola on the finish, it ends a bit syrupy and sweet. Good but not what you'd call refined or elevated. | Saurus Patagonia | 85 | 12 | Other | Neuquén | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Familia Schroeder 2006 Saurus Patagonia Cabernet Sauvignon (Neuquén) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Familia Schroeder |
| 75598 | 75597 | US | Like a Beaujolais Nouveau, this is a lively, grapey wine, with fresh-from-the-fermenter flavors of raspberries, red cherries, cinnamon and pepper. | La Grenouille Rouganté | 85 | 14 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | Frog's Leap 2008 La Grenouille Rouganté Rosé (Napa Valley) | Rosé | Frog's Leap |
| 75599 | 75598 | Argentina | With solid peach aromas and an otherwise clean nose, this llama is worth the ride. Peach and honeydew flavors are sweet but not cloying or mucky, and there's even a hint of spicy white pepper to give the finish character. | | 85 | 6 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Funky Llama 2008 Chardonnay (Mendoza) | Chardonnay | Funky Llama |
| 75600 | 75599 | US | A bit too soft, which makes the exceptionally ripe blackberry and chocolate flavors stand alone and lack structure. Tasty and flashy, but the palate longs for more acids and tannins. | Reserve | 85 | 50 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | | | Viansa 2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Viansa |
