| 14461 | 14460 | France | The flagship wine from Fournier is rich, showing maturing Sauvignon Blanc along with smooth, creamy plum and apricot flavors. It is full and intense—a complex wine that will repay another 2–3 years of aging. | Grand Fumé | 91 | 32 | Loire Valley | Pouilly-Fumé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Fournier Père et Fils 2009 Grand Fumé (Pouilly-Fumé) | Sauvignon Blanc | Fournier Père et Fils |
| 14462 | 14461 | Spain | Dry spice, clay dust, tomato, herb and licorice aromas accent red plum and cherry notes on this racy yet balanced Priorat. Spiced plum, brandied cherry, coffee and chocolate flavors set up a toasty, warm and spicy finish. This is really nice and exemplifies what's great about the region. Drink now. | Montgarnatx | 91 | 40 | Catalonia | Priorat | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Francesc Sanchez Bas 2006 Montgarnatx Red (Priorat) | Red Blend | Francesc Sanchez Bas |
| 14463 | 14462 | US | This Cabernet wants some time to come together. Right now, it's tannic and oaky, with fresh berry, cherry and dried currant flavors, yet it's very well balanced. Give it 6–8 years. | Vittorio's Vineyard | 91 | 46 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | V. Sattui 2009 Vittorio's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | V. Sattui |
| 14464 | 14463 | Chile | With spicy aromas of kirsch and dark plum accented by cedar and tobacco, this blend of Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot is a whopper. In the mouth, it's thick and syrupy, with chewy tannins and bold flavors of baked berry and chocolate. On the finish, brown sugar and coconut enter the frame. This is ultraripe and aggressive, but it honestly exemplifies Chile at the high end. Drink now–2017; 250 cases made. | Ossa Sixth Generation | 91 | 120 | Cachapoal Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña La Rosa 2007 Ossa Sixth Generation Red (Cachapoal Valley) | Red Blend | Viña La Rosa |
| 14465 | 14464 | Italy | Made in amphorae made from Georgian clay, this “Classica” expression of the Vitovska grape opens with a intense copper-ornage color and deeply nutty nuances of pine nut and almond backed by honey, butterscotch and candied fruit (there's not much in the way of fresh fruit here). Thanks to its inherent tannic structure, the wine drinks more like a red than a white. It will be fascinating to watch it age ten more years. | Classica | 91 | 85 | Northeastern Italy | Venezia Giulia | | | | Vodopivec 2006 Classica Vitovska (Venezia Giulia) | Vitovska | Vodopivec |
| 14466 | 14465 | US | This dry Grenache is light in body and silky, but shows firm acidity that will work well with grilled beef steak or lamb. The red berry and stone-fruit flavors have interesting nuances of minerals and herbs. A great restaurant wine, and one of the finer examples of Grenache on the market. | Stolpman Vineyard | 91 | 26 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | | | Whitcraft 2009 Stolpman Vineyard Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley) | Grenache | Whitcraft |
| 14467 | 14466 | France | Tannat and Pinenc, both native to this region of Southwest France, give a ripe, juicy wine, packed with red-fruit flavors surrounding a more dense tannic core. It has a smoky flavor that gives an edge to the great fruit flavors. Drink in 3–4 years. | L'Empreinte de Saint-Mont | 91 | 18 | Southwest France | Saint-Mont | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Producteurs Plaimont 2010 L'Empreinte de Saint-Mont (Saint-Mont) | Red Blend | Producteurs Plaimont |
| 14468 | 14467 | Spain | Flower petal, mineral and blackberry aromas solidify the bouquet on this excellent Tempranillo. The palate is big and chewy, with fine balance and driving flavors of cherry, plum, vanilla and oak resin. With a finish that's bone dry and focused, this Ribera wine is ready to drink but can last another 5–8 years in a good cellar. | Reserva | 91 | 55 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Protos 2006 Reserva (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Protos |
| 14479 | 14478 | France | This wine is bone dry, very crisp and fruity. It presents a bright and lively character plus orange peel tang. The acidity at the end is very fresh, with just a touch of caramel. | | 84 | 12 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de l'Aubrade 2014 Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Château de l'Aubrade |
| 14469 | 14468 | US | A generic expression of the variety with some notions of ripe plum, dark cherry and black pepper, this straightforward wine is ready to drink now. It takes on full tannic strength on the finish. | Classic Collection | 84 | 19 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Napa Cellars 2013 Classic Collection Pinot Noir (Napa Valley) | Pinot Noir | Napa Cellars |
| 14470 | 14469 | Italy | This opens with funky aromas of leather, game, overripe plum and a whiff of barnyard. The aromas all carry over to the rustic palate along with dried black cherry while raspy, fleeting tannins give it an abrupt, astringent finish. | | 84 | | Tuscany | Chianti Classico | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Poggio Bonelli 2012 Chianti Classico | Red Blend | Poggio Bonelli |
| 14471 | 14470 | US | Smoky funkiness permeates this wine, which is lean on the palate and mushy in terms of structure. Cherry and pepper are the most distinguishable characteristics before the quick finish. | | 84 | 15 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Stephen Vincent 2012 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) | Pinot Noir | Stephen Vincent |
| 14480 | 14479 | France | Very fruity, this is a crisp, lemon-scented and flavored wine, with grassy, herbaceous character from the green Sauvignon Blanc in the blend. The aftertaste is tight with some bitterness. | | 84 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Parenchère 2014 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château de Parenchère |
| 14472 | 14471 | US | A straightforward wine, this has aromas of light spices and stone fruit. The flavors are lighter in style with the concentration a bit wanting but it still provides easy drinking pleasure. | | 84 | 6 | Washington | Washington | Washington Other | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Two Vines 2013 Chardonnay (Washington) | Chardonnay | Two Vines |
| 14473 | 14472 | Spain | Heavily roasted, leathery, earthy aromas slightly override the fruit tones. This has a grabby, tannic palate and burnt, herbal, earthy black-fruit flavors. Saltiness and blackened notes are to be found on a clampy finish. | Dolmo | 84 | 10 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Vicente Gandia 2013 Dolmo (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Vicente Gandia |
| 14481 | 14480 | France | Touches of red fruits give this soft and creamy wine attractive acidity. Pepper and spice lead to a bitter aftertaste. | Perles Rosé | 84 | 28 | Bordeaux | Crémant de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Piote 2010 Perles Rosé (Crémant de Bordeaux) | Sparkling Blend | Château de Piote |
| 14482 | 14481 | France | A bold pink color suggests the richness of this vanilla-flavored wine that misses out on a truly refreshing character. It is full and soft, with a touch of bitter acidity at the end. | | 84 | 14 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château des Antonins 2014 Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Château des Antonins |
| 14483 | 14482 | France | Pure fruitiness, this wine is full of black currant flavors and a stalky, dusty texture. Without wood aging, it has acidity, fruitiness and some dry tannins. Drink from the end of 2015. | | 84 | 12 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Haut Vieux Chêne 2014 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Haut Vieux Chêne |
| 14484 | 14483 | France | Still dominated by wood and toast aromas, this wine is certainly too young to drink. The wood needs to smooth out and allow room for the fruit. It will age, with its fresh fruits and acidity, so drink from 2017. | | 84 | 9 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Jean de Bel Air 2014 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Jean de Bel Air |
| 14485 | 14484 | France | This caramel-flavored, lightly pink wine is soft and full in the mouth, with a light touch of tannin in the background. Drink now. | | 84 | 9 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Maison Noble 2014 Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Château Maison Noble |
| 14486 | 14485 | France | Deep pink in color, this gently fruity wine has too much caramel flavor. It offers red currant fruit at the end and attractive acidity. | La Rosée de Ramage | 84 | 14 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Ramage la Batisse 2014 La Rosée de Ramage Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Château Ramage la Batisse |
| 14487 | 14486 | US | A sweet version of Riesling, this offers fresh apple and strawberry aromas, sweet melon and cucumber flavors, a soft texture and light body. | Estate | 84 | 17 | California | Sierra Foothills | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Drytown 2014 Estate Riesling (Sierra Foothills) | Riesling | Drytown |
| 14488 | 14487 | France | Light, ripe and fruity, this wine is bursting with black currant fruits supported by a firm base of dry fruit tannins. It can be drunk now in its youth, but will be better from 2016. | | 84 | 30 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Grand Jean 2014 Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Grand Jean |
| 14489 | 14488 | Spain | Peach and melon aromas are simple and clean. This has a wide but diluted mouthfeel and no real sense of direction. Citrus and white pineapple flavors are mild and limited, while the finish offers a touch of nectarine before fading out. | | 84 | 15 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Conde Bel 2014 Viura (Rioja) | Viura | Conde Bel |
| 14490 | 14489 | US | Red and black currants, wild berries and a graphite minerality show on the nose of this attractively priced wine. The palate is a tad sweet, showing dark red fruits. | | 84 | 15 | California | Monterey County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Esser 2013 Merlot (Monterey County) | Merlot | Esser |
| 14474 | 14473 | US | It would seem like other varieties must be in the mix on this perfumed wine with its notes of apricot, grapefruit and flowers. The flavors are lighter in style with a fresh feel. | | 84 | 15 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Acre Twenty-one 2013 Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Chardonnay | Acre Twenty-one |
| 14475 | 14474 | Italy | This is an informal wine that offers hints of raw red cherry, strawberry and a dash of cinnamon. Brisk acidity and fragile, fleeting tannins give it an abrupt finish. | | 84 | 6 | Tuscany | Chianti | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Artimino 2013 Chianti | Red Blend | Artimino |
| 14476 | 14475 | US | Despite its youth, this wine seems dried-out with aromas and flavors of medicine cabinet, leather and raisinated black and blue fruit. Drink now. | | 84 | 17 | Washington | Columbia Gorge (WA) | Washington Other | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Barnard Griffin 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Gorge (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Barnard Griffin |
| 14477 | 14476 | US | Aromas of melon, grapefruit and herbs lead to sweet tropical fruit flavors. The concentration isn't all there and the acid seems a bit wanting. | | 84 | 17 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Goose Ridge 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Sauvignon Blanc | Goose Ridge |
| 14478 | 14477 | US | There's a bitterness within this wine, a taste of tobacco and tomato leaf that lords over subtle blackberry, black cherry, plum and a healthy dose of cinnamon and pepper. Medium bodied, it finishes flat. | Canihan Vineyard | 84 | 49 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Canihan 2012 Canihan Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) | Pinot Noir | Canihan |
