| 18691 | 18690 | US | A blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier, the aromas of wheat and almond are quite light. The flavors are elegant and offer promise but lack the concentration to deliver it. | Possession | 85 | 19 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Ott & Murphy 2014 Possession White (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Rhône-style White Blend | Ott & Murphy |
| 18692 | 18691 | US | This wine has quite fruity aromas but more lean flavors as it goes from banana in the smell to light celery and other savory flavors on the palate. | | 85 | 28 | California | Amador County | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Renwood 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Amador County) | Sauvignon Blanc | Renwood |
| 18693 | 18692 | France | This simple wine is full of fruit. There is no wood aging here, just ripe pear and apricot flavors that are gently textured.

Tramier & Fils 2015 Marquis de Brim Chardonnay (Vin de France) | Chardonnay | L. Tramier & Fils |
| 18695 | 18694 | US | There's an intensity of apricot and melon in this full-bodied, textured wine that veers on becoming overbearingly ripe, with a ghost-like finish. | | 85 | 40 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Trinitas 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Trinitas |
| 18696 | 18695 | Argentina | Lightly abrasive, scratchy aromas of red fruits include a note of bath soap. A lean, prickly palate holds sweet berry and tart plum flavors that struggle to blend. A medicinal tasting finish is regular in feel and length. | Finca Los Primos | 85 | 12 | Mendoza Province | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Valentin Bianchi 2015 Finca Los Primos Malbec | Malbec | Valentin Bianchi |
| 18697 | 18696 | Spain | This is a touch stalky and rough on the nose, while in the mouth it's raw, choppy and boxed in. Cherry and plum flavors pick up speed on the palate and taste slightly gamy and burnt on the finish. | | 85 | 9 | Northern Spain | Calatayud | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Tres Ojos 2012 Garnacha (Calatayud) | Garnacha | Tres Ojos |
| 18698 | 18697 | France | With its classic blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, this wine is crisp and bright with peach and citrus flavors. The acidity is lively and perfumed with summer blossom.

| 18699 | 18698 | US | This is a mild-mannered, softly one-dimensional version of the variety, robust in chocolate mocha and blueberry jam that finishes easily. | Ellie's Vineyard Estate | 85 | 28 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Wilson 2011 Ellie's Vineyard Estate Petite Sirah (Dry Creek Valley) | Petite Sirah | Wilson |
| 18700 | 18699 | US | Baked blackberries, purple flowers and a touch of leather show on the nose of this hearty bottling. The palate is framed by extremely strong, hard-to-cut tannins, which hold burned flavors of black coffee and charred berries. | Que Sirah Syrah Destiny Vineyards | 85 | 50 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Hunt Cellars 2010 Que Sirah Syrah Destiny Vineyards Red (Paso Robles) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Hunt Cellars |

| 18703 | 18702 | Italy | Lightly scented, this opens with aromas suggesting white spring flower and orchard fruit.

| 18704 | 18703 | US | Raisin-baked plum defines this hearty, full-bodied and ultraripe wine, rich in red berry and robust on the finish. | Arpad's Selection | 85 | 38 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Buena Vista 2013 Arpad's Selection Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) | Zinfandel | Buena Vista |
| 18705 | 18704 | US | Aromas like dried herbs and flavors like green apple and pear nectar make a colorful combination in this medium-bodied wine. | | 85 | 10 | California | Mendocino | | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Castle Rock 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino) | Sauvignon Blanc | Castle Rock |

| 18708 | 18707 | France | A blend of Grenache Blanc and Viognier, this is attractive, fruity and perfumed. Touches of apricot balance with the green fruits and herbal edge. It's an easy wine to drink, best as an apéritif. | | 85 | 8 | France Other | Vin de France | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Cuvée Lion d'Or 2015 White (Vin de France) | White Blend | Cuvée Lion d'Or |
| 18709 | 18708 | US | Apple cider, night jasmine, ripe pears and orange cream aromas show on this sweeter bottling.

| 18710 | 18709 | France | This is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat, not often found although working well here. The perfumed Muscat nicely softens the herbal Sauvignon to give a wine that is almost honeyed, certainly attractive as an apéritif. | Gabriel Sauvignon Blanc-Muscat | 85 | 10 | France Other | Vin de France | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Gabriel Meffre 2015 Gabriel Sauvignon Blanc-Muscat White (Vin de France) | White Blend | Gabriel Meffre |

| 18712 | 18711 | Italy | The nose is initially subdued but eventually reveals inviting aromas of spiced plum, leather, vanilla and a whiff of blue flower. The structured but elegant palate conveys blackberry, dried cherry, mint, savory herb and clove alongside bracing but fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. The lingering finish ends on a licorice note. Drink 2016–2023. | Masseria Maime | 91 | 35 | Southern Italy | Salento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Tormaresca 2012 Masseria Maime Negroamaro (Salento) | Negroamaro | Tormaresca |
| 18713 | 18712 | Austria | Beckoningly ripe, yellow pear with overtones of yellow plum unite in a very juicy, refreshing and lively white which slowly reveals layers of savory, peppery spice. The streamlined body remains toned despite its undoubted concentration. Ready now but will definitely keep. | Loiserberg Reserve | 91 | 30 | Kamptal | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Jurtschitsch 2013 Loiserberg Reserve Grüner Veltliner (Kamptal) | Grüner Veltliner | Jurtschitsch |

| 18715 | 18714 | Italy | This is still young and closed, but pretty aromas of rose, perfumed berry, baking spice and menthol eventually emerge. The palate delivers crunchy red cherry, raspberry, white pepper, anise and a balsamic note alongside austere but fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Give it time to open up and develop complexity. Drink 2018–2028. | Ai Livelli | 91 | 52 | Piedmont | Ghemme | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Tiziano Mazzoni 2010 Ai Livelli (Ghemme) | Nebbiolo | Tiziano Mazzoni |
| 18716 | 18715 | US | Not a big wine, but a well-balanced, well-behaved one that's sophisticated enough for any setting.

| 18717 | 18716 | Italy | Intense aromas suggest violet, rose, perfumed berry, leather and spice, with balsamic notes.

| 18718 | 18717 | Australia | The fruit flavors are plum and blackberry, with warm, meaty notes and hints of mocha and dill.

| 18719 | 18718 | South Africa | This opens with rich, roasty aromas of blackberry, plum and cassis, with hints of black tea and Violet mints.

| 18720 | 18719 | Italy | Dried stone fruit, McIntosh apple and lemon blossom aromas lead the nose on this richly textured dessert wine. On the palate, notes of cinnamon, toasted almond and mineral add depth to candied nectarine zest and Linden honey. Refreshing acidity balances this out. | Privilegio Passito | 91 | 63 | Southern Italy | Irpinia | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Feudi di San Gregorio 2012 Privilegio Passito Fiano (Irpinia) | Fiano | Feudi di San Gregorio |
