| 13605 | 13604 | Chile | Oaky aromas have a lacquer-like scent that dissipates into sawdust if given time. This is plump and melony in feel, with a resiny note to the texture.

| 13610 | 13609 | Chile | Talk about an overoaked wine. From the start, this struggles to keep it real. Aromas of shoe polish, vanilla and scorched oak are dominant. Firm and tannic in the mouth, this Carignan tastes almost entirely of wood resin and mint. That this is oaky and resiny on the finish is no surprise. | Edición Limitada | 84 | 35 | Loncomilla Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cremaschi Furlotti 2011 Edición Limitada Carignan (Loncomilla Valley) | Carignan | Cremaschi Furlotti |

| 13612 | 13611 | Italy | This blend of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese opens with aromas of prune and mocha that carry over to the palate.

| 13615 | 13614 | US | Hailing from Weinbau Vineyard, it brings notes of chocolate, cherry cordial and herbs.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | Tildio 2010 Cabernet Franc (Wahluke Slope) | Cabernet Franc | Tildio |
| 13616 | 13615 | US | This appears to be a wine that's simply over-reached. Noticeably high-toned, with a vinegary bite to the cherry flavored fruit, it's pushed it a bit too far. Not even 28 months in three quarters new French oak can mask the volatility. | Copeland Vineyard Brothers No. 4 | 84 | 50 | Washington | Yakima Valley | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Two Mountain 2009 Copeland Vineyard Brothers No. 4 Red (Yakima Valley) | Red Blend | Two Mountain |

| 13618 | 13617 | Italy | New oak takes the limelight in this blend of 90% Montepulciano and 10% Sangiovese. The palate is dominated by wood, espresso, toast and vanilla alongside rubber, leafy sensations. It lacks fruit richness and has a drying, astringent finish. | Lailum | 84 | 22 | Central Italy | Rosso Piceno | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Fattoria Laila 2010 Lailum (Rosso Piceno) | Red Blend | Fattoria Laila |
| 13619 | 13618 | Austria | Cranberry sauce flavors and refreshing acidity make this a very delicious wine to be consumed young. Unhindered by oak or undue extraction, this shows its charming, primary fruit in an open, uncomplicated way. This is a winner with charcuterie and salami. | Hedwighof | 84 | 10 | Neusiedlersee | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Sepp Moser 2011 Hedwighof Zweigelt (Neusiedlersee) | Zweigelt | Sepp Moser |
| 13620 | 13619 | US | Here's a simple, softly tannic Pinot Noir to drink now for its fruitiness.
