| 19501 | 19500 | Italy | This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot and Sangiovese is tad jammy and cooked. The wine delivers tight, tart tannins with impressive structure and length. | | 85 | 110 | Tuscany | Bolgheri Superiore | | | | Grattamacco 2003 Bolgheri Superiore | Red Blend | Grattamacco |
| 19502 | 19501 | France | This soft, young wine is all about red-berry fruits. With a touch of spice and acidity, it is should be drunk quickly while its fruitiness remain fresh. | Emiliu | 84 | 29 | France Other | Ile de Beauté | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Marengo 2014 Emiliu Grenache (Ile de Beauté) | Grenache | Domaine Marengo |
| 19503 | 19502 | Argentina | Aromas of green bean and citrus peel struggle to impress. This feels raw and pinching, with pulling, dry tannins. Herbal red-plum flavors finish green and with an oaky note of carob. | | 84 | 16 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Durigutti 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Durigutti |
| 19504 | 19503 | Argentina | Light earthy raspberry and strawberry aromas suggest leanness, which is backed up on a raw, citric, pinching palate. Flavors of herbal plum and orange peel are austere, while this goes nowhere new on the finish. | | 84 | 22 | Mendoza Province | Maipú | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Luigi Bosca 2015 Pinot Noir (Maipú) | Pinot Noir | Luigi Bosca |
| 19505 | 19504 | US | A basic, light, veggie-flavored wine, this smells like celery and onion and tastes like zucchini. | | 84 | 10 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Nica 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (California) | Sauvignon Blanc | Nica |
| 19506 | 19505 | Argentina | Grassy floral aromas are aromatic but unrefined. This sparkling Chardonnay tastes of lime and wild flowers, with bitterness to the back end of the flavor profile. A sulfuric note of scrambled egg rises up on a bitter finish. | Toso Brut | 84 | 13 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Pascual Toso NV Toso Brut Sparkling (Mendoza) | Sparkling Blend | Pascual Toso |
| 19507 | 19506 | US | Not much of this wine was made, the grapes coming from a vineyard in the heart of the appellation farmed by Phil Coturri. Earthy and light in oak, it struggles to show fruit, remaining more about minerally and compostable aromas. | Steel Plow Vineyard | 84 | 40 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Sergio 2014 Steel Plow Vineyard Grenache (Sonoma Valley) | Grenache | Sergio |
| 19508 | 19507 | France | This is a young wine with a lean texture and stalky fruit from a Chablis-based producer. It feels cool with its acidity and red-currant fruits. Drink now. | Réserve Saint-Pierre | 84 | | Burgundy | Bourgogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pascal Bouchard 2014 Réserve Saint-Pierre (Bourgogne) | Pinot Noir | Pascal Bouchard |
| 19509 | 19508 | France | For an Aligoté, this is a soft wine without that crisp acidity. It is smooth, lightly tangy and with an easy spicy character. It is ready to drink, fruity and bright. | | 84 | | Burgundy | Bourgogne Aligoté | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pascal Bouchard 2015 Bourgogne Aligoté | Aligoté | Pascal Bouchard |
| 19510 | 19509 | US | Ruddy slightly overripe black cherry and berry flavors are juxtaposed with tart green notes in this fruity but rustic Cabernet Sauvignon. Soft, sunny acidity lends a plush, juicy mouthfeel and a brisk finish. | | 84 | 20 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Rooster Hill 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Finger Lakes) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Rooster Hill |
| 19511 | 19510 | France | This is a typical sweet rosé from Anjou. A light and fruity blend of Groslot and Gamay, it is sugary but has attractive acidity to balance the sweet wild-strawberry flavors. Drink now. | Loire Valley | 84 | 15 | Loire Valley | Rosé d'Anjou | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Sauvion 2015 Loire Valley (Rosé d'Anjou) | Rosé | Sauvion |
| 19512 | 19511 | US | This wine feels full and heavy on the palate. It's sweet and fruity, with an edge of grapefruit zest. | | 84 | 12 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | La Catrina NV Moscato (California) | Moscato | La Catrina |
| 19513 | 19512 | Uruguay | A lot has been thrown at this Tannat, and thus it's oaky while smelling like dried aged cheese and charred black plum. This is exceedingly tannic and acidic, so mouthfeel is an issue. Saucy, high-toned acid-driven tomato, herb and sour plum flavors finish sharp and tangy. | Grand Reserve A | 84 | 65 | Canelones | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Marichal 2013 Grand Reserve A Tannat (Canelones) | Tannat | Marichal |
| 19514 | 19513 | Uruguay | Rusty to the eye, with a strange but not unpleasant mix of savory tomato, citrus and nutmeg aromas, this feels raw, tannic and drying. Earthy, baked and rooty plum flavors dry out on the finish. | Reserve Collection | 84 | 20 | Canelones | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Marichal 2015 Reserve Collection Pinot Noir (Canelones) | Pinot Noir | Marichal |
| 19515 | 19514 | Argentina | Flat to start, with oaky aromas of mustard and clove, this feels round, with citric acidity and a sense of wood grain to the palate. Barrel-driven flavors of salty melon and mustard end with grainy resiny oak notes. | Estate Bottled | 84 | 14 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Pascual Toso 2015 Estate Bottled Chardonnay (Mendoza) | Chardonnay | Pascual Toso |
| 19516 | 19515 | Italy | You can find aromas of purple flower, red berry and a hint of chopped herb on the nose. But the palate is thin and diluted, offering suggestions of sour cherry and a green note of powdered sage alongside fleeting tannins. It finishes on a bitter, acidic note. | | 84 | 25 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Albatreti 2014 Rosso di Montalcino | Sangiovese | Albatreti |
| 19517 | 19516 | France | This pale-colored soft wine has attractive fruitiness. Red fruits and a touch of spice are linked with gentle tannins. The wine is already gaining maturity and should be drunk now. | Le Clos d'Augustin | 84 | 15 | Burgundy | Bourgogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Cave de Bissey 2014 Le Clos d'Augustin (Bourgogne) | Pinot Noir | Cave de Bissey |
| 19518 | 19517 | Spain | Not sure if this is a sparkling wine, a dessert wine or something in between. Grassy aromas of apple juice are jumbled and slightly pickled. This stays unfocused on a fizzy palate, while sweet soda-like flavors of lemon-lime and lychee finish sudsy and candied. | | 84 | 16 | Andalucia | Málaga | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Jorge Ordóñez & Co. 2015 Muscat (Málaga) | Muscat | Jorge Ordóñez & Co. |
| 19519 | 19518 | Argentina | Grapy aromas suggest minerals and iodine along with wet animal fur and plum. It's firm and tannic on the palate, with herbal, rooty plum and berry flavors and a tight finish. | Serie A | 84 | 15 | Mendoza Province | Valle de Uco | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Zuccardi 2015 Serie A Malbec (Valle de Uco) | Malbec | Zuccardi |
| 19520 | 19519 | France | Oxidative in character, this ripe wine has melon, spice and almond flavors. It is ready to drink. | Appolonia | 84 | 32 | France Other | Patrimonio | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Marengo 2014 Appolonia Vermentino (Patrimonio) | Vermentino | Domaine Marengo |
| 19521 | 19520 | US | This wine is dark, sweet and slightly effervescent in texture. It has an inky color, aromas like Concord-grape juice and roses, and jammy flavors. | Raptor Private Reserve | 84 | 29 | California | Livermore Valley | Central Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Eagle Ridge NV Raptor Private Reserve Red (Livermore Valley) | Red Blend | Eagle Ridge |
| 19522 | 19521 | Argentina | Prickly aromas of nettle and cactus include crushed vitamin scents and tropical fruit notes. This feels gritty and dilute. Tart tropical-fruit flavors of lychee, pineapple and lime finish crisp, tangy and angular. | | 84 | 17 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Finca Wölffer 2016 Rosé (Mendoza) | Rosé | Finca Wölffer |
| 19523 | 19522 | US | This light-bodied and lightly sweet sparkling wine is light blue in color, has a very fruity flavor and rather soft mouthfeel despite the frothy bubbles. | Cuvee Blue Premium Brut | 83 | 12 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Aquas NV Cuvee Blue Premium Brut Sparkling (California) | Sparkling Blend | Aquas |
| 19524 | 19523 | Argentina | Uncommon exotic blueberry aromas are lean and grassy. In the mouth, this is high in acidity and scouring. Flavors match the nose, meaning this tastes sour and exotic, while the finish is sharp and scrubbing. | Ampakama | 83 | 11 | Other | San Juan | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Casa Montes 2014 Ampakama Malbec (San Juan) | Malbec | Casa Montes |
| 19525 | 19524 | Argentina | Stewed, saucy aromas of grassy tomato and herbal berry fruits are foxy. This feels cutting and rough, while minty green-berry flavors come with a note of animal fur. | Reserve | 83 | 14 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cruz Alta 2014 Reserve Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Cruz Alta |
| 19526 | 19525 | South Africa | A blend of 64% Pinot Noir and 36% Chardonnay, this pale rosé is light and slightly searing, with high acidicy and faint notes of strawberry hull and firm peach on the nose and mouth. | Gorgeous | 83 | 13 | Western Cape | | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Graham Beck 2015 Gorgeous Rosé (Western Cape) | Rosé | Graham Beck |
| 19527 | 19526 | Argentina | Sappy volatile berry and plum aromas lead to sharp citric palate. This tastes of sour plum and herbs, while oaky spice and clove notes rise up on the finish. | Elsa Bianchi | 83 | 12 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Valentin Bianchi 2015 Elsa Bianchi Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Valentin Bianchi |
| 19528 | 19527 | US | The peachy color of this bubbly wine is appropriate because the aromas and flavors are effusively peachy, too. It is light bodied, very sweet and has been flavored with something other than grapes. | Peach Mango Demi-Sec | 83 | 12 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Weibel Family NV Peach Mango Demi-Sec Sparkling (California) | Sparkling Blend | Weibel Family |
| 19529 | 19528 | Moldova | Aromas of freshly picked roses, vanilla and peach entice you into this Moldovan sparkling wine made from Muscat. There are flavors of dried apricot and honeydew melon with a slightly sweet finish. | Château d'Or Sparkling White | 83 | 9 | Moldova | | | Jeff Jenssen | @worldwineguys | Lion-Gri 2015 Château d'Or Sparkling White Muscat (Moldova) | Muscat | Lion-Gri |
| 19530 | 19529 | Spain | A heavily oaked nose smells of pencil shavings and creamy berry scents. This feels raw, choppy and highly tannic, while red-fruit flavors are buried by an oak-based covering of milk chocolate. Heavy dominating chocolaty oak is the overriding theme of this underperforming RDD Reserva. | Altos de Tamaron Reserva | 83 | 24 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Pagos del Rey 2012 Altos de Tamaron Reserva (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Pagos del Rey |
