| 11341 | 11340 | France | This estate has produced an impressive wine for the vintage. It balances acidity, tarry wood flavors and ripe black-berry fruits. Initially it is still showing its structure more than fruit, although this will even out as it matures. Drink from 2020. | | 93 | | Bordeaux | Saint-Julien | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Branaire-Ducru 2013 Saint-Julien | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Branaire-Ducru |
| 11342 | 11341 | France | Strong herbal aromas continue to the palate, with green fruits plus a tangy acidity that is fresh and hints of more tropical fruits to come. It's a rich wine that has great potential, so drink from 2019. This is one of several properties owned by Bordeaux vigneron André Lurton. | | 93 | 30 | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Couhins-Lurton 2013 Pessac-Léognan | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château Couhins-Lurton |
| 11343 | 11342 | France | Dense, concentrated and firm, this wine has a powerful, rich structure that promises well. Big berry fruits and dark tannins are developing well together. The wine is full of promise so drink from 2020. Fifteen-percent of the 74 acres of vines are more than 120 years old. New York banker Robert G. Wilmers bought Haut-Bailly in 1998 from the Sanders family, owners since 1955. Véronique Sanders-van Beek has run the estate since then. | | 93 | 68 | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Haut-Bailly 2013 Pessac-Léognan | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Haut-Bailly |
| 11344 | 11343 | France | This ripe wine, from young vines, has softened its Sauvignon Blanc herbal character and developed ripe apricots and a delicious richness. The wood-aging shows, although not so as to hide the fruit and the tighter, nervy texture. Still developing, it will be best from 2018. | Les Hauts de Larrivet Haut-Brion | 93 | 47 | Bordeaux | Pessac-Léognan | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Larrivet Haut-Brion 2013 Les Hauts de Larrivet Haut-Brion (Pessac-Léognan) | Sauvignon Blanc | Château Larrivet Haut-Brion |
| 11345 | 11344 | US | An opulent nose surges from the bottle in this lush, exuberant wine from the legendary vineyard site. Pronounced flavors of baked apple, caramel, honey and peach combine in memorable, full-bodied ways. Textured and layered, this brooder is drinking great now but should do well with more time in the cellar, through 2023. | Ritchie Vineyard | 93 | 60 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Arista 2013 Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) | Chardonnay | Arista |
| 11346 | 11345 | Italy | Made with 100% dried Zibibbo grapes, this generous dessert wine offers aromas of fresh apricot, lemon jam, sweet spice and whiff of eucalyptus. The enveloping palate doles out mature yellow peach, candied date and a touch of cinnamon while bright acidity lends freshness and balance. | Ben Ryé | 93 | 45 | Sicily & Sardinia | Passito di Pantelleria | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Donnafugata 2012 Ben Ryé (Passito di Pantelleria) | Zibibbo | Donnafugata |
| 11347 | 11346 | New Zealand | A barrel selection off Craggy Range's estate vineyard in the Te Muna Road area of Martinborough, this isn't a huge blockbuster style, but one that favors elegance. The aromas and flavors are ripe, oozing with hints of plum, black cherry, cola and licorice, but what makes the wine special are its subtle spice shadings and silky texture. Drink now–2025. | Aroha Te Muna | 93 | 105 | Martinborough | | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Craggy Range 2013 Aroha Te Muna Pinot Noir (Martinborough) | Pinot Noir | Craggy Range |
| 11348 | 11347 | Argentina | Acrid and heavy on the nose, this is not showing any of Torrontés's floral, lighter qualities. Instead, this wine is slightly chemical and rough, with a blocky, citric palate and a mix of bitter citrus and pithy flavors. | | 82 | 14 | Other | Salta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Anko 2013 Torrontés (Salta) | Torrontés | Anko |
| 11349 | 11348 | | Light and fruity, this is a wine that has some sweetness, a gentle series of white fruits, acidity and lemon zest at the end. Screwcap. | Partager | 82 | | | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Barton & Guestier NV Partager White | White Blend | Barton & Guestier |
| 11350 | 11349 | US | You'll find crisp Monterey acidity on this wine, but otherwise, it's candied in style with flavors of raspberries and cola, along with raisins turning up in the finish. | | 82 | 29 | California | Monterey County | Central Coast | | | Vinemark 2010 Cabernet Franc (Monterey County) | Cabernet Franc | Vinemark |
| 11351 | 11350 | Argentina | Pointed red-plum aromas are lemony and leathery. The palate is decidedly tomatoey and acidic, with flavors of plum skin, currant and pepper. An herbal, spicy, drying finish feels raw and tastes sour. | | 82 | 13 | Mendoza Province | Luján de Cuyo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Notro 2011 Malbec (Luján de Cuyo) | Malbec | Notro |
| 11352 | 11351 | Spain | Minty, candied, wet-dog aromas announce that this is a young, basic wine. The mouthfeel is fresh and acidic, while the flavors of candied berry fruits come across dilute and with little depth. | Tintorera Higueruela | 82 | 12 | Central Spain | Almansa | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Bodegas Tintoralba 2011 Tintorera Higueruela Garnacha (Almansa) | Garnacha | Bodegas Tintoralba |

| 11354 | 11353 | US | There's a sugary edge to the lime and tropical fruit flavors in this wine, along with a strong note of gooseberry. The combination is edgy. | | 82 | 17 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Stickybeak 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Stickybeak |
| 11355 | 11354 | Argentina | While this opens with harmless aromas of lychee and tropical fruits, the palate sizzles with sharp citric acidity. Flavors of pithy grapefruit and tangerine finish grabby, tart and aggressive. This is not nearly as good as the two prior vintages. | Reserve | 82 | 11 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Trivento 2012 Reserve Torrontés (Mendoza) | Torrontés | Trivento |
| 11356 | 11355 | France | This is a wine that is totally dominated by wood. So much so that there is little sign of fruit. Maybe it will integrate, but there is a question mark. | Cuvée | 82 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Maison Bouey 2011 Cuvée (Bordeaux) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Maison Bouey |
| 11357 | 11356 | France | Hard and extracted, this is a tough number. The fruit seems lean and the bitter chocolate flavor is not promising much. It may work with food. | | 82 | 19 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Supérieur | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Ricaud 2011 Bordeaux Supérieur | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château de Ricaud |
| 11358 | 11357 | France | Thin in character, this is a pleasant wine without much style. Light and ready to be drunk immediately. | | 82 | | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château le Noble 2012 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château le Noble |
| 11359 | 11358 | France | The unfocused wine tastes soapy, with bitterness and little fruit.

| 11360 | 11359 | France | This is a wine that has a curious metallic character. It masks the fruit and gives it a hard edge. It's fresh, but not immediately attractive. | | 82 | | France Other | Crémant de Jura | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Buronfosse 2011 Sparkling (Crémant de Jura) | Sparkling Blend | Domaine Buronfosse |
| 11361 | 11360 | US | Everything about this wine is admirable except for the concentration. It's dry and crisp with acidity, but only delicately flavored with citrus, pears, honey and vanilla bean. | | 82 | 15 | California | California | California Other | | | Seven Daughters NV Pinot Grigio (California) | Pinot Grigio | Seven Daughters |
| 11362 | 11361 | US | This is a straightforward but simple wine. It's dry and crisp but a bit watery with lemon, lime and vanilla flavors. | | 82 | 15 | California | California | California Other | | | Seven Daughters NV Sauvignon Blanc (California) | Sauvignon Blanc | Seven Daughters |

| 11364 | 11363 | US | Ripe and fruity with citrus, apricot, tropical fruit and peach flavors, this wine is brightened by a shower of acidity that keeps it from tasting cloying. | | 82 | 13 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | | | Magnolia Court 2012 Sauvignon Blanc (Central Coast) | Sauvignon Blanc | Magnolia Court |
| 11365 | 11364 | Argentina | At first this smells like plastic and sweet black fruits mixed with chocolate. The palate feels heavy and raw, while flavors of muddled yet tart plum and berry finish big, minty and slightly green. | | 82 | 13 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Mil Piedras 2011 Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Mil Piedras |
| 11366 | 11365 | Spain | Green, grassy aromas lead the bouquet, which then turns charred and oaky. In the mouth, clove and heavy oak notes are dominant, while the feel is rubbery and rough. This is rugged and oaky. | Castell de Raimat | 81 | 11 | Catalonia | Costers del Segre | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Raimat 2009 Castell de Raimat Cabernet Sauvignon (Costers del Segre) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Raimat |

| 11368 | 11367 | France | This is an unfocused wine that has jammy fruit and soft tannins. It tastes overripe. Not for aging. | | 81 | 13 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Lavagnac 2011 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château de Lavagnac |

| 11370 | 11369 | Spain | Aromas of blueberry and soupy fruits lack definition and come across like Kool-Aid. This is flat and stewy in feel, with heavy flavors of raisin and Graham crackers followed by a short finish. | René Isabelle Christopher Charlotte Fernando Marta | 81 | 130 | Catalonia | Montsant | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Espectacle 2010 René Isabelle Christopher Charlotte Fernando Marta Red (Montsant) | Red Blend | Espectacle |
