| 106651 | 106650 | US | This intense, slightly sour Zinfandel combines herbal/menthol aromas with a taste of vanilla-toasted marshmallow, the fruit jammy and minty. | | 84 | 21 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Mazzocco 2011 Zinfandel (Sonoma County) | Zinfandel | Mazzocco |
| 106652 | 106651 | US | Fresh raspberry and cherry aromas are bright and fresh on this dry, dusty-pink rosé. It's crisp with acidity and juicy with tart, red-fruit flavor, but there's an earthy, savory tone that lingers throughout. | Dry Pinot | 84 | | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Ravines 2013 Dry Pinot Rosé (Finger Lakes) | Rosé | Ravines |
| 106653 | 106652 | US | There's lemon curd and apple in this straightforward, light Chardonnay. Cradled in oak and vanilla, it is mid-weight in both texture and body, and a good value for the price. | | 84 | 14 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Sebastiani 2012 Chardonnay (Sonoma County) | Chardonnay | Sebastiani |
| 106654 | 106653 | US | The tawny rim of this ruby-red Cabernet Sauvignon hints towards signs of early evolution. It's maturity is more evident on the palate with somewhat demure flavors of dark cherry, cedar and herb accented by touches of autumn leaf, soil and mushroom. Drink up now. | | 84 | 25 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Standing Stone 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon (Finger Lakes) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Standing Stone |
| 106655 | 106654 | US | Concentrated in pleasing pear and stone fruit, the toasty oak and oily richness of this wine detracts from the fruit. It comes into its own with some air, the texture showing more acidity and balance. | | 84 | 18 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Waterstone 2012 Chardonnay (Carneros) | Chardonnay | Waterstone |
| 106656 | 106655 | Turkey | Red violet in the glass, this blend of 85% Öküzgözü and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose of butterscotch and black cherry. Flavors do not coalesce completely, with cool notes of menthol and clove prevailing over flavors of tart cherry, raspberry and a hint of iodine. | | 84 | 14 | Turkey | | | Mike DeSimone | @worldwineguys | Diren 2010 Red (Turkey) | Red Blend | Diren |
| 106657 | 106656 | Israel | If blackberry preserves and black licorice were made into a wine, this would be it. While Yarden's T2 dry blend of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Cao is a very good wine, this sweet Port-style wine misses the mark. With a nose of blackberry preserves, cassis and rose petal—and flavors of blackberry, cassis, licorice and clove—it should be gorgeous in the mouth. However, the overall sweetness is cloying without necessary balance. | Yarden T2 Touriga Nacional-Tinta Cao | 84 | 44 | Galilee | | | Mike DeSimone | @worldwineguys | Golan Heights Winery 2009 Yarden T2 Touriga Nacional-Tinta Cao Red (Galilee) | Red Blend | Golan Heights Winery |
| 106658 | 106657 | US | There is no varietal specificity to be found in this 100% Cabernet Franc. A wine labeled Barrel Select brings certain expectations, which this fails to meet. It's thin and herbal, with stemmy tannins and only a bare suggestion of black cherry fruit. | Barrel Select | 83 | 40 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Vin du Lac 2010 Barrel Select Cabernet Franc (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Franc | Vin du Lac |
| 106659 | 106658 | France | Very soft and dull, it offers white fruits and some acidity. Drink now. | En Paradis | 83 | 24 | Burgundy | Pouilly-Vinzelles | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Louis Latour 2012 En Paradis (Pouilly-Vinzelles) | Chardonnay | Louis Latour |
| 106660 | 106659 | Spain | Floral, dusty aromas are encouraging, but this is overly citric and aggressive on the palate. Lemon, underripe stone fruit and minerally flavors turn tart and pithy on the finish. | | 83 | 21 | Northern Spain | Bierzo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Luna Beberide 2013 Godello (Bierzo) | Godello | Luna Beberide |
| 106661 | 106660 | US | There's a hard edge to the mocha, herb and cherry aromas. The palate has blocky, dry tannins that distract. | | 83 | 21 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Samson 2012 Merlot (Horse Heaven Hills) | Merlot | Samson |
| 106662 | 106661 | US | Aged in stainless steel, this faint SB is herb-y and slightly grassy. Sweetness on the midpalate sticks around before the quick finish. | | 83 | 19 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Sebastiani 2013 Sauvignon Blanc (Sonoma County) | Sauvignon Blanc | Sebastiani |
| 106663 | 106662 | Spain | Wheaty, flat aromas are indicators that this is losing its luster. The palate is chunky, with melon, mango and canned peach flavors. Best to wait for a newer vintage. | | 83 | 15 | Galicia | Rías Baixas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Serra da Estrela 2012 Albariño (Rías Baixas) | Albariño | Serra da Estrela |
| 106664 | 106663 | Spain | Jumpy, young aromas of wet dog, plum, cherry and beet root set up a racy, high-acid palate. This tastes like medicinal raspberry and red plum, while the finish is light, scouring and fresh, with no oak character. | Viernes | 83 | 13 | Northern Spain | Bierzo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Godelia 2012 Viernes Mencía (Bierzo) | Mencía | Godelia |
| 106665 | 106664 | US | Pollen and dusty mineral tones lend earthiness to melon and lychee aromas on this off-dry Gewürztraminer. Medium bodied in style, it balances tart tangerine acidity with a round, rich mouthfeel. | Reserve | 83 | 20 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Heron Hill 2012 Reserve Gewürztraminer (Finger Lakes) | Gewürztraminer | Heron Hill |
| 106666 | 106665 | US | Dusty aromas comprise the dull nose on this bottling. Once sipped, there isn't a lot of distinct flavor, save for some blackberry notes. It will work for a backyard barbecue of ribs and saucy chicken. | | 83 | 15 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Bridlewood 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Bridlewood |
| 106667 | 106666 | US | This off-dry Riesling boasts pretty fresh apple and floral notes on the palate, but persisting notes of dried herbs and spring ramps distract. Sprightly on the palate with delicate lemon acidity. | 1st Degree Medium Dry | 83 | 16 | New York | Seneca Lake | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C.

| 106668 | 106667 | US | Ruby in color yet delicate in extract, this blend of Zweigelt and Lemberger is a concession between a red and rosé wine. On the palate, bright red-berry flavors are layered in unusual tones of caramel and spice. The label suggests it can be served both chilled and at room temperature. | Beyond | 83 | 18 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Shalestone 2013 Beyond Rosé (Finger Lakes) | Rosé | Shalestone |
| 106669 | 106668 | US | An easy-drinking, weekday type of red wine that is smooth and light in texture and body, and modestly flavored with notes of plum and dried herbs. | | 83 | 10 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Twin Arches 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (California) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Twin Arches |
| 106670 | 106669 | France | The wine is candied and sherbet-flavored. Acidity gives some freshness, but it feels artificial and light. | | 83 | 22 | Burgundy | Viré-Clessé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Manuel Seguin 2012 Viré-Clessé | Chardonnay | Manuel Seguin |
| 106671 | 106670 | US | A soft, simple style of Cabernet with mild cherry and strawberry flavors, light tannins, smooth texture and light- to medium-body. The flavors fade quickly on the finish. | | 83 | 16 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Silver Spoon 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (California) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Silver Spoon |
| 106672 | 106671 | Spain | Funky aromas of animal fur and lively berry are not that inviting. In the mouth, this has a narrow feel and high acidity. Herbal, tart flavors of plum and red currant are almost sour, while the finish is on the green and herbal side. | | 83 | 8 | Northern Spain | Calatayud | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cruz de Piedra 2013 Garnacha (Calatayud) | Garnacha | Cruz de Piedra |
| 106673 | 106672 | Spain | Tarry, stalky aromas fail to make much of a statement. This is high in acid and rugged in the mouth, with a mixture of herbal red-fruit flavors and distinct stalkiness. A grating finish is racy and hot. | Honoro Vera | 83 | 9 | Northern Spain | Calatayud | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Bodegas Ateca 2012 Honoro Vera Garnacha (Calatayud) | Garnacha | Bodegas Ateca |
| 106674 | 106673 | Spain | Animal hide and roasted, stalky aromas bring overall quality into question. This feels raw, choppy and drawing, while flavors of stalky berry fruits are leathery and roasted. Hard tannins and green notes influence the finish. | Tamiz | 83 | 16 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Bodegas Reyes 2011 Tamiz (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Bodegas Reyes |
| 106675 | 106674 | US | Dilute red fruits and a tomato paste flavor are the story here, with no varietal character. Some earthy, roasted barrel flavors come up but are not well-integrated. | Red Café | 83 | 25 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Vin du Lac 2011 Red Café Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Syrah | Vin du Lac |
| 106676 | 106675 | US | Pipe tobacco, raspberry reduction and a sweet sagebrush character promise an interesting experience. Once sipped, the overwhelmingly sweet cherry, cough-syrup flavor pushes this wine beyond a dry, and the typical Cabernet Franc herbs that emerge in the midpalate don't overwhelm its cloying nature. Good for dessert, by itself. | Estate | 83 | 50 | California | Santa Cruz Mountains | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Savannah-Chanelle 2010 Estate Cabernet Franc (Santa Cruz Mountains) | Cabernet Franc | Savannah-Chanelle |
| 106677 | 106676 | US | Dusty mineral tones and pressed apple aromas lend a savoriness to this dry, full-bodied Grüner Veltliner. The palate boasts a fresher fruit profile, with bright apple and lemon flavors that wrap up briskly on the finish. | Estate Reserve | 83 | 16 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C.

| 106678 | 106677 | US | Notes of rhubarb and cherry don't stitch together. It drinks just off dry with a tart finish. | Dry Rosé | 83 | 18 | Washington | Ancient Lakes | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Cave B 2013 Dry Rosé Merlot (Ancient Lakes) | Merlot | Cave B |
| 106679 | 106678 | Spain | Stony minerality blends with raisin, leather and leafy berry aromas. This offers cheek-stanching citric acidity but not enough body to absorb it. Flavors of herbal red plum are choppy and turn gritty and fiery on the finish. | Sevil | 83 | 40 | Northern Spain | Somontano | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Idrias 2007 Sevil Red (Somontano) | Red Blend | Idrias |
| 106680 | 106679 | US | Thick and rich with tobacco and dark chocolate notes, this vineyard-designated wine shows a generous helping of brambly black fruit, its midpalate baring the teeth of sharp tannin and smoky oak. It finishes soft and contained. | Ponzo Vineyard | 90 | 32 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Hawley 2015 Ponzo Vineyard Zinfandel (Russian River Valley) | Zinfandel | Hawley |
