| 15302 | 15301 | US | This wine has that wonderful but hard-to-pin-down Zinfandel essence that's extremely fruity but also uniquely spicy and brambly. It blends together ripe raspberry, creamy vanilla and red cherry on a smooth, nicely viscous and very full-bodied frame that helps the finish linger. | Big Wood Zin | 90 | 32 | California | Livermore Valley | Central Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Wood Family Vineyards 2014 Big Wood Zin Zinfandel (Livermore Valley) | Zinfandel | Wood Family Vineyards |
| 15303 | 15302 | Austria | Lifted primary aromas of green pear peel hit you first with their inviting freshness. The palate has the gentle vanilla kiss of oak and an utterly creamy texture but finishes beautifully with pure lemon freshness. | Steinbügel | 90 | 39 | Niederösterreich | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Graf Hardegg 2015 Steinbügel Grüner Veltliner (Niederösterreich) | Grüner Veltliner | Graf Hardegg |
| 15304 | 15303 | Spain | Green apple, peach and a touch of saline define the nose of this wine. It's fresh in feel, like drinking nectarine juice. Flavors of nectarine, green plum, peach and lime finish clean and minerally, with refreshing acidity. | | 89 | 16 | Galicia | Rías Baixas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Condes de Albarei 2013 Albariño (Rías Baixas) | Albariño | Condes de Albarei |
| 15305 | 15304 | Italy | Black plum, tilled soil, leather and grilled sage aromas lead the nose on this structured wine. The dense palate delivers blackberry, blueberry, dried date, roasted coffee bean and mocha alongside firm, drying tannins. A licorice note marks the finish. | Podere Le Maragnole | 89 | 45 | Veneto | Amarone della Valpolicella Classico | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Le Bertarole 2010 Podere Le Maragnole (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico) | Red Blend | Le Bertarole |

| 15307 | 15306 | France | From a number of Premier Cru vineyards, the wine is solid and dark. Firm, dry tannins still dominate and give promise for aging. At the same time, black plum fruit flavors show a riper side and add richness to the mix. Drink from 2016. | Premier Cru | 89 | 80 | Burgundy | Nuits-St.-Georges | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Manuel Olivier 2011 Premier Cru (Nuits-St.-Georges) | Pinot Noir | Manuel Olivier |
| 15308 | 15307 | France | This is a blend of grapes from a number of Premier Cru parcels. It gives a rich, ripe and fruity wine with a good depth of flavor and strong signs of the wood aging. At this stage, the wood is leaving some bitterness and toast, but this will round out. Drink from 2017. | Premier Cru | 89 | 80 | Burgundy | Meursault | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Manuel Olivier 2012 Premier Cru (Meursault) | Chardonnay | Manuel Olivier |

| 15310 | 15309 | Portugal | This wood-aged wine is smooth with already a good balance between fruit and toast. Ripe and full-bodied, it aged for 10 months in new wood. That has smoothed out the acidity and rounded the corners to give a rich wine that could age. Drink from 2015. | Morgado de Santa Catherina | 89 | 20 | Bucelas | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta da Romeira 2012 Morgado de Santa Catherina Arinto (Bucelas) | Arinto | Quinta da Romeira |
| 15311 | 15310 | Portugal | Also known for its sparkling wines, the small region of Bucelas, just north of Lisbon, specializes in Arinto. This rich wine brings out the citrus and white fruits of the grape along with an extra depth of flavor that will allow it to age.

| 15312 | 15311 | US | Called 3BB because it combines the three best barrels of the vintage, this is an earthy Pinot, soft, round and highlighted in cinnamon spice and electric acidity, especially on the finish. The fruit leans toward darker, lusher black cherry, a flavor that takes some time to develop aromatically. | 3BB | 89 | 50 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | R2 2012 3BB Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | R2 |
| 15313 | 15312 | Argentina | Earthy, herbal, lightly leafy aromas blend with boysenberry and exotic spice notes.

| 15314 | 15313 | Argentina | Ripe, concentrated aromas of cassis and prune set up a rich palate with spicy black-fruit flavors. A loamy, meaty-tasting finish isn't complex but it is generous and jammy. This is on the cusp of being overripe but overall it weighs in as a full-flavored fruit bomb with a lot of positives. | Single Vineyard | 89 | 15 | Mendoza Province | Agrelo | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Lamadrid 2012 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Agrelo) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Lamadrid |
| 15315 | 15314 | France | Weight and a rich character bring out caramel and apricot fruits as well as a crisp citrus core. It's warm, round and ripe, and still fresh while full in the mouth.

| 15317 | 15316 | Germany | Smoke and dusty earth notes waft from this semi-sweet Riesling, adding a mineral tone to luscious yellow peach and cherry flavors on the palate. While satisfyingly juicy, it's brisk and sprightly in mouthfeel, with an energetic streak of lemon-lime acidity on the finish. | Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese | 89 | 34 | Mosel | | | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Dr. Loosen 2012 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese Riesling (Mosel) | Riesling | Dr. Loosen |
| 15318 | 15317 | Italy | A blend of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay, this conveys a subtle fragrance of rose, apple and a whiff of toasted hazelnut. The savory palate offers Marasca cherry and strawberry alongside a note of pastry cream backed up by crisp acidity and a lively perlage. It's a great deal at this price point. | Rosé | 89 | 13 | Northeastern Italy | Trento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Rotari NV Rosé Sparkling (Trento) | Sparkling Blend | Rotari |
| 15319 | 15318 | US | Dark black cherry dominates the mood of this wine, lively and light, with a delicate, unexpected punch of spicy cinnamon throughout and a tension of toned oak balanced against the fruit. | Stanly Ranch | 89 | 54 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Saintsbury 2012 Stanly Ranch Pinot Noir (Carneros) | Pinot Noir | Saintsbury |
| 15320 | 15319 | US | Considerably lighter than the previous vintage of Pinot Gris, this mixes cucumber, gooseberry and grapefruit flavors, with bracing acidity behind the fruit.

| 15321 | 15320 | US | Deep purple fruits swirl with marjoram and clove on the nose of this single-vineyard bottling by winemaker Jeff Fink.

| 15322 | 15321 | Portugal | From the northern Vinho Verde region of Melgaço which is the natural heartland of Alvarinho, this tangy, fruity wine bursts with acidity and creamed apple flavors. It is still young, a lively and fruity wine that will benefit from some calming down and broadening out. Drink from the end of 2015. | Toucas | 89 | 19 | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Wines & Winemakers 2013 Toucas Alvarinho (Vinho Verde) | Alvarinho | Wines & Winemakers |
| 15323 | 15322 | Portugal | On the dry side, this has plenty of fruit for an aged tawny, although it does actually taste older than its 10-years indication. That gives it a good depth of flavor as well as wood acidity that shines through at the end. | 10-Years-Old Aged Tawny | 89 | 31 | Port | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Croft NV 10-Years-Old Aged Tawny (Port) | Port | Croft |
| 15324 | 15323 | Italy | Aromas of leather, tobacco leaf, underbrush, and prune marinated in spirits take center stage on this dense wine.

| 15325 | 15324 | US | Aromatically exuberant, this offers notes of lychee, rose petal, spice and citrus rind.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | Foris 2013 Estate Gewürztraminer (Rogue Valley) | Gewürztraminer | Foris |
| 15326 | 15325 | US | Light in color and spicy cherry fruit, it offers layers of oak and earth that compete for attention. The wine is a blend of three clones, including Pommard, which reveals itself in the wine's forested and floral character. Concentrated and relatively lush, it should stand the test of time and air; try from 2017–2019. | Peters Vineyard Winemaker's Reserve | 89 | 48 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Kokomo 2012 Peters Vineyard Winemaker's Reserve Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | Kokomo |

| 15328 | 15327 | Spain | This fresh wine opens with a pleasant blend of melon, citrus, white-flower and mineral aromas. The palate is similar to the bouquet: citrusy and minerally. Flavors of tangerine, orange and nectarine are tangy and bright, while the finish is citrusy and scouring. | Sobre Lías | 89 | 20 | Galicia | Rías Baixas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Maior de Mendoza 2013 Sobre Lías Albariño (Rías Baixas) | Albariño | Maior de Mendoza |
| 15329 | 15328 | Italy | Made with native grape Durello and with no dosage, this offers aromas of white spring flowers and red apples.

| 15330 | 15329 | Spain | Earth, leather, a touch of compost, soy, hoison sauce and raisin aromas all vie for attention on this tannic, ripe, almost stewy Toro. Seriously ripe flavors of sun-baked berry fruits and black currant veer towards prune and raisin on a rich, chocolaty, figgy finish. | Prima | 89 | 25 | Northern Spain | Toro | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Maurodos 2011 Prima (Toro) | Tinta de Toro | Maurodos |
