| 11387 | 11386 | France | This round wine features flavors of tropical fruit and apricot, combined with a mineral-driven texture. It is rich yet it retains a good touch of brightness. Ready to drink, but worth aging for a few months. | | 87 | | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château La Maroutine 2011 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château La Maroutine |
| 11388 | 11387 | France | Rich and dense, ripe and juicy, this is full of black fruits. It is smooth on the surface while solidly tannic underneath. This is an opulent wine, with a dry, wood-driven finish. Keep it for at least six years. | | 87 | 26 | Bordeaux | Haut-Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Lamothe-Cissac 2009 Haut-Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Lamothe-Cissac |
| 11389 | 11388 | France | This is a generous, full-bodied wine that shows the ripe fruit of the vintage. The fruit appears upfront, offering a warm mouthfeel, and the tannic structure is likely to allow it to age. | | 87 | 25 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Supérieur | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Laronde Désormes 2009 Bordeaux Supérieur | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Laronde Désormes |
| 11390 | 11389 | France | Initially, the acidity cuts through this structured effort. Then the ripe fruits surface, creating a wine that is both rich and firmly textured. It is full in the mouth, rich and age worthy. | | 87 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Malbec 2009 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Malbec |
| 11391 | 11390 | France | A ripe, juicy and forward wine, this is all fruit—but it's delicious fruit. The tannins are restrained behind the exuberant fruitiness. It may not be classic Bordeaux, but it is likely to be very drinkable in 2–3 years. | | 87 | 35 | Bordeaux | Margaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Mongravey 2010 Margaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Mongravey |
| 11392 | 11391 | France | Here's a big, smooth, round wine, with tannins that are packed into the superripe fruit flavors. It is powerful and concentrated, and the wood influence is still prominent along with a touch of bitterness from overextraction. It needs time to fully integrate. | | 87 | 35 | Bordeaux | Listrac-Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Reverdi 2009 Listrac-Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Reverdi |
| 11393 | 11392 | Portugal | The first vintage under Delaforce's new owners, Real Companhia Velha, this has a sweet surface, with a perfumed blackberry flavor. There is a touch of spice and a final geranium accent. | Vintage | 87 | | Port | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Delaforce 2009 Vintage (Port) | Port | Delaforce |
| 11394 | 11393 | Italy | Citrus, honey and cantaloupe notes open the bouquet of this food-friendly white wine. The mouthfeel shows acidity without being sharp or sour. | | 87 | 16 | Southern Italy | Beneventano | | | | Donnachiara 2011 Falanghina (Beneventano) | Falanghina | Donnachiara |
| 11371 | 11370 | US | This Merlot seems designed for folks who like their red wines with residual sugar. It's soft and sugary, with raspberry jam and oak flavors. | | 81 | 8 | California | California | California Other | | | Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi 2012 Merlot (California) | Merlot | Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi |
| 11395 | 11394 | Italy | Instantly recognizable for the eye-catching purple dot on its label, this offers a slightly austere expression of Aglianico that would pair with almost any grilled meat dish. The soft mouthfeel is characterized by notes of cherry, tobacco and spice. | Dal Re | 87 | | Southern Italy | Irpinia | | | | Feudi di San Gregorio 2010 Dal Re Aglianico (Irpinia) | Aglianico | Feudi di San Gregorio |
| 11396 | 11395 | Italy | A red blend from Salento, this bright red offers jammy notes of blackberry preserves, black cherry and prune. There's an impression of sweetness on the finish, followed by a rich, chewy mouthfeel. | | 87 | 12 | Southern Italy | Salento | | | | Feudi di San Marzano 2009 Red (Salento) | Red Blend | Feudi di San Marzano |
| 11397 | 11396 | US | Smoky oak enwraps fully developed layers of cherry and blackberry fruit in this thick wine packed with generous tannins. A hearty backbone of oak accents additional leather and dark chocolate flavors. | | 91 | 85 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Highlands 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Highlands |
| 11398 | 11397 | US | Light and bright, this combines 41% Syrah, 36% Grenache and 23% Mourvèdre, each sourced from the Landa Vineyard near the town of Sonoma. Menthol and cherry notes arise first on the nose and palate, riding a wave of lifted acidity, with a meaty undertone and lavender and tobacco accents. | Turbine | 91 | 35 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Anaba 2014 Turbine Red (Sonoma Valley) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Anaba |
| 11399 | 11398 | US | Nutty almond aromas open this wine, along with a wave of white flower and herb scents. Light in color, it's exuberant with crisp acidity and delicate apricot and peach flavors, finishing clean and focused. | Landa Vineyard | 91 | 36 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Anaba 2015 Landa Vineyard Viognier (Sonoma Valley) | Viognier | Anaba |
| 11400 | 11399 | US | Coming from older vine plantings at Dionysus, Red Willow, Boushey and Bacchus vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) takes the lead, with the rest Merlot (20%) and Cabernet Franc. Aromas of graphite, savory herb and red and black fruit are followed by refined fruit flavors. It shows a sophisticated sensibility, bringing a sense of texture and vibrancy, along with a lingering finish. | Sestina | 91 | 65 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Avennia 2014 Sestina Red (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Avennia |
| 11372 | 11371 | US | This Zin is actually a field blend including Petite Sirah, Alicante and Carignane. It's sweet with raspberry jam notes, but also a bit vegetal with flavors of asparagus. | Estate Vineyard | 81 | 44 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Beltane Ranch 2012 Estate Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) | Zinfandel | Beltane Ranch |
| 11373 | 11372 | Argentina | This smells rubbery and horsey at first, then earthy and ripe. It feels grabby and tannic, with rustic, leathery flavors of baked berry and cheese. Narrow and a bit dried out, this may already be past its prime in terms of vitality. | Pasionado | 87 | 50 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Andeluna 2006 Pasionado Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Andeluna |
| 11374 | 11373 | Argentina | Spice, mint, herb, raspberry and currant aromas form a good nose. Things run a bit choppy and rough on the palate, but overall it works, bearing roasted berry and herb influences, with grabby tannins. This is a full, stocky, spicy and mildly green-leaning Cabernet. | 1300 | 87 | 15 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Andeluna 2010 1300 Cabernet Sauvignon (Uco Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Andeluna |
| 11375 | 11374 | France | Full bodied and rich, this has flavors of apple and lemon, with a warm and ripe feel that is balanced by a final mineral character. It needs several months to come together. | Mouton Cadet | 87 | 10 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2011 Mouton Cadet (Bordeaux Blanc) | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Baron Philippe de Rothschild |
| 11376 | 11375 | US | This is aged in 100% new American oak, putting tight berry and cassis flavors behind plenty of dried herb notes and astringent tannins. Fine for drinking with a thick steak, but not so much for sipping on its own. | | 87 | 45 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Barons V 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Barons V |
| 11377 | 11376 | US | Though the vineyard sources—Stillwater and Conner Lee—are first-rate, this wine seems a bit disjointed at the moment. Sweet, juicy fruit opens up into a midpalate that seems to have a hole, and then the aggressive flavors of vanilla surface. The vanilla-tinged finish feels tacked on, though perhaps some further bottle age will help to smooth it. | Reserve | 87 | 50 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Woodinville Wine Cellars 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Woodinville Wine Cellars |
| 11378 | 11377 | Italy | This dry expression of Moscato from southern Italy opens with fragrant tones of white flower, peach and honey. It shows some roundness on the palate, capped by fresh acidity. | Terre di Orazio Dry | 87 | 18 | Southern Italy | Basilicata | | | | Cantina di Venosa 2011 Terre di Orazio Dry Moscato (Basilicata) | Moscato | Cantina di Venosa |
| 11379 | 11378 | Spain | Spunky and mildly abrasive on the nose, this has some punch and character. It feels fresh, lean and narrow, with a traditional Rioja mix of herb-influenced red-fruit and dry spice notes. The mild finish offers tobacco and raspberry flavors. | Reserva | 87 | 23 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Castillo Labastida 2006 Reserva (Rioja) | Tempranillo | Castillo Labastida |
| 11380 | 11379 | Spain | This wine smells baked and rasiny, and the bouquet brings charcoal and toast notes into play. It feels mature and ready, with raisin, molasses, chocolate and rooty berry flavors. Ripe and ready on the finish. The blend is Garnacha, Carignan and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now. | Bonfill | 87 | 45 | Northern Spain | Empordà | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Celler Arché Pagès 2007 Bonfill Red (Empordà) | Red Blend | Celler Arché Pagès |
| 11381 | 11380 | France | Soft and rich, this is a fruity and textured wine. It has strong pear and spice flavors that complement the edge of lemon zest. This combination results in a wine that is bright and fruity. Screwcap. | | 87 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Bel Air Perponcher 2011 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château Bel Air Perponcher |
| 11382 | 11381 | France | Overripe, this seems like an oddly structured wine. The fruit is buried under the wood influence and tannins, which introduce a licorice character. | | 87 | | Bordeaux | Saint-Émilion | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Clos de Sarpe 2008 Saint-Émilion | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Clos de Sarpe |
| 11383 | 11382 | France | Dry tannins from the old wood give this wine a hard edge at first. Fresh, juicy red fruits offer an enticing character. On the finish, the tannins are tough and will need several years to soften | | 87 | 80 | Bordeaux | Pomerol | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château du Domaine de l'Eglise 2009 Pomerol | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château du Domaine de l'Eglise |
| 11384 | 11383 | France | The wood, with its heavy toast and licorice flavors, is dominant. That element makes for a wine that has weight but loses its fruit amid the firm extraction. | | 87 | 34 | Bordeaux | Saint-Émilion | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Fombrauge 2009 Saint-Émilion | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Fombrauge |
| 11385 | 11384 | France | Much of the sweet-tasting fruit of 2009 is present in this wine, while it simultaneously features a firm core of tannins. The bright acidity is reminiscent of fresh black currants. Juicy, fruity and likely to age quickly. | | 87 | 16 | Bordeaux | Haut-Médoc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Fonsèche 2009 Haut-Médoc | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Fonsèche |
| 11386 | 11385 | France | In this toasty, wood-dominated wine, the fruit is buried beneath dark, dry tannins. It has enough weight to promise a future when the elements fall into balance, so give it 4–5 years. | | 87 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Joinin 2009 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Joinin |
