| 22561 | 22560 | US | Ripe aromas of burnt sugar, mango and pineapple introduce this bold, expansive Gewürztraminer. Drier on the palate than Keuka Spring's regular label Gewürztraminer, it boasts fresh lychee, rose petal and grapefruit flavors tied together with a bristling thread of astringency. | Dynamite Vineyard | 89 | 22 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C.

| 22563 | 22562 | US | A smoky aroma of plum-sauce-coated beef roast wafts on the nose of this lush bottling, which also offers white pepper and lilac. Plump berries and a fine-grained tannic structure consume the palate, finishing on a light caramel note. | Valley View Vineyard | 89 | 29 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Lucas & Lewellen 2013 Valley View Vineyard Malbec (Santa Ynez Valley) | Malbec | Lucas & Lewellen |
| 22564 | 22563 | US | With an addition of 3% Petit Verdot, this wine sources from Andy Beckstoffer's Missouri Hopper Vineyard in Oakville and Benessere in St. Helena. It impresses in brown sugar and berry pie, the underlying foundation succulently fruity as savory touches of clove and pencil shavings begin to show amidst the firm tannin. | | 89 | 26 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Marilyn Merlot 2013 Merlot (Napa Valley) | Merlot | Marilyn Merlot |
| 22565 | 22564 | Chile | This smells good and right, with aromas of tropical fruits, spice and mild oak. Fresh and integrated, with good body weight and balance, this Chardonnay tastes of spiced apple, melon and vanilla. On the finish, wood spice and peppery dryness take over. | Sibaris Gran Reserva | 89 | 18 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Undurraga 2015 Sibaris Gran Reserva Chardonnay (Leyda Valley) | Chardonnay | Undurraga |

| 22567 | 22566 | US | Aromas of this medium-bodied, un-oaked wine suggest sliced pears and apples, while the flavors are equally fruity but have a leaner feel. The texture is dry, firm and crisp, making this a great pairing for shellfish and many other dishes. | Eric's Small Lot Unoaked Estate | 89 | 28 | California | Livermore Valley | Central Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Wente 2015 Eric's Small Lot Unoaked Estate Chardonnay (Livermore Valley) | Chardonnay | Wente |
| 22568 | 22567 | US | This clean, thick, full-bodied expression of the grape balances into elegance as it goes. A splash of 9% Sémillon adds to its charm, the flavors a lush combination of pear and vanilla. | | 89 | 20 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Whitehall Lane 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Whitehall Lane |
| 22569 | 22568 | France | Soft notes of mandarin and peach fill nose and palate of this fresh and fruit-driven wine. The body is light but full-fruited with a bruised-apple mellowness.

| 22570 | 22569 | Italy | This easy expression of Syrah is redolent of ripe berry, moist earth and forest floor. There's a touch of fresh mint or peppermint as well, and a drying mineral feel on the close. | | 87 | 10 | Sicily & Sardinia | Sicilia | | | | MandraRossa 2010 Syrah (Sicilia) | Syrah | MandraRossa |
| 22571 | 22570 | US | A firm, somewhat muscular wine, blending in 16% Merlot and aged in neutral oak barrels. Leaf and truffle notes abound, with the distinctively acidic underpinning of Sangiovese. Light strawberry-cherry fruit gently fades through a clean finish. | Seven Hills Vineyard | 87 | 22 | Washington | Walla Walla Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Mannina Cellars 2009 Seven Hills Vineyard Sangiovese (Walla Walla Valley (WA)) | Sangiovese | Mannina Cellars |
| 22572 | 22571 | New Zealand | Reflecting the difficulties of the vintage, this is a slightly edgy, coarsely textured wine, with sweet, oaky notes framing cherries and roasted beets. Try it with something slightly rustic, like beef stew. | Satellite | 86 | 24 | Marlborough | | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Spy Valley 2008 Satellite Pinot Noir (Marlborough) | Pinot Noir | Spy Valley |
| 22573 | 22572 | Italy | Cusumano is a terrific Sicilian estate that offers both high-end expressions and a consistent line of value wines.

| 22574 | 22573 | Italy | Bacca Bianca from the vineyards of Tenuta di Budonetto, is a blend of Inzolia, Grecanico and Chardonnay.

| 22575 | 22574 | US | Hints of bergamot add a musky elegance to tropical notes of sweet melon and tangerine in this beautifully perfumed Riesling. There's a sugariness on the midpalate, but the finish is clean and brisk, with a shower of pink grapefruit acidity. | Love | 86 | 15 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Inspire Moore 2010 Love Riesling (Finger Lakes) | Riesling | Inspire Moore |
| 22576 | 22575 | US | There's a tough, gritty feeling in the mouth with this dry, tannic wine. Although it has some rich flavors blackberries and blueberries, it's astringent and hard. Give it a good long decant and drink now. | 202 | 86 | 30 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Kunde 2008 202 Meritage (Sonoma Valley) | Meritage | Kunde |
| 22577 | 22576 | France | A soft, yet also mineral-textured wine. Its lemon and grapefruit flavors are crisp, reflecting the taut structure of the vintage.

| 22579 | 22578 | US | Lighter than Malibu Oak's Cabernet Sauvignon, this Cab Franc shows the variety's characteristic herby notes and is otherwise easy and light, with enough depth to pair well with a range of meats. | | 86 | 27 | California | South Coast | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Malibu Rocky Oaks 2009 Cabernet Franc | Cabernet Franc | Malibu Rocky Oaks |
| 22580 | 22579 | Spain | Seems as though this medium-sweet Viura-Malvasia blend has gotten better in recent years as the winery has dialed down the sweetness and weight. Lately, this vintage included, Satinela has been fresh, cleanly made and easygoing, with sweet pear and peach flavors and not too much weight or residual sugar. Captures the essence of medium sweet. | Satinela Medium-Sweet | 86 | 9 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Marqués de Cáceres 2010 Satinela Medium-Sweet White (Rioja) | White Blend | Marqués de Cáceres |
| 22581 | 22580 | US | There's no doubt this is 100-percent Petite Sirah, full of dark plummy fruit and an earthy element that's close to mushrooms and dirt. Aged over two years in French oak the wine even has a slight hint of game and caramel. The tannins are soft but ample. | | 86 | 24 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Virginie Boone | @vboone | McCay Cellars 2008 Petite Sirah (Lodi) | Petite Sirah | McCay Cellars |
| 22582 | 22581 | US | The initial impression of young, juicy red berries carries into an astringent wine with streaks of gravel and chalk. It's pleasant, simple but quick to fade. | | 86 | 30 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | North by Northwest 2008 Syrah (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Syrah | North by Northwest |
| 22583 | 22582 | Spain | The tough conditions of the 2008 vintage are reflected in this scratchy wine. Plum is the key fruit aroma, and that's followed by a tight, firm body with toasty oak, black fruit flavors, herbal notes and peppery spice. Quick and a touch hot on the finish. | La Montesa | 86 | 20 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Palacios Remondo 2008 La Montesa (Rioja) | Red Blend | Palacios Remondo |
| 22584 | 22583 | France | Bright red fruits in this attractive cherry and banana flavored wine.

| 22586 | 22585 | US | A firm, youthful Cabernet, with cassis and blue plum fruit accented by dried herb, graphite and asphalt. As it sat in the glass, a distinct leathery aroma emerged and the fruit quickly faded. | | 86 | 38 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Ross Andrew 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Ross Andrew |
| 22587 | 22586 | US | Ripe and fruity in raspberries and cherries, this Pinot is also sweet in toasty oak. It has a nice, pleasantly silky texture.

| 22588 | 22587 | France | Excellent color on this firmly fruity wine.

| 22589 | 22588 | New Zealand | Ready to drink, this Pinot is already losing color and going brick at the rim, its modest red berry fruit falling away to reveal notes of brown sugar, vanilla and even a touch of wintergreen. Supple in texture, with mouthwatering acids on the finish. | Composite | 86 | 22 | Marlborough | | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Ara 2008 Composite Pinot Noir (Marlborough) | Pinot Noir | Ara |
| 22590 | 22589 | New Zealand | This is slightly bigger and earthier than Ara's other 2009 Pinot Noir, with notes more of beet than cherry, and hints of dried herbs and mushrooms. It's a sturdy wine that could stand up to braised meats. | Pathway | 86 | 15 | Marlborough | | | Joe Czerwinski | @JoeCz | Ara 2009 Pathway Pinot Noir (Marlborough) | Pinot Noir | Ara |
