| 23894 | 23893 | France | The producer is following the Provence fashion and packaging its range of Pure Loire in square bottles. This rosé is dry with red fruit and spice from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. Tangy and crisp, it is ready to drink, | Pure Loire | 85 | 15 | Loire Valley | Rosé de Loire | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Bougrier 2015 Pure Loire (Rosé de Loire) | Rosé | Bougrier |
| 23895 | 23894 | Argentina | Despite showing somewhat volatile berry aromas, this is more than solid as a whole. Wiry angularity on the palate is offset by fleshy berry fruit, while flavors of plum, blackberry and salt are a touch grassy in front of a superficial finish that's slightly hot. | | 85 | 7 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Torrevieja 2015 Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Torrevieja |
| 23896 | 23895 | US | The aromas of herb, citrus and melon rind are light. The palate drinks dry, with the concentration seeming a bit lacking. | | 85 | 13 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Waterbrook 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Sauvignon Blanc | Waterbrook |
| 23897 | 23896 | US | Intense aromas of incense and exotic spice abound in this bold, rather oaky Chardonnay. Apple jelly and pressed pear notes are pleasantly ripe on the palate but seem overwhelmed by tones of earthy tones of wood chip and dust. | Vintner's Reserve | 85 | 32 | New York | New York | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Woodbury 2012 Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay (New York) | Chardonnay | Woodbury |
| 23898 | 23897 | US | Toasted hazelnuts, lime zest and broad peach notes show on the nose of this bottling. The palate is relatively flat and easy with yellow apples and a tang of lemongrass with a buttered finish. | | 85 | 20 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Chessman 2014 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) | Chardonnay | Chessman |
| 23899 | 23898 | France | This is a light wine—fruity and with a soft texture. It has citrus and creamed pear flavors that are balanced with acidity. It's a wine to be drunk now while its fruitiness is still at its peak. | | 85 | 30 | Burgundy | Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux 2014 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits | Chardonnay | Domaine Chevillon-Chezeaux |
| 23900 | 23899 | France | This is a crisp and fruity wine that has fine acidity and a tangy orange-zest texture. The wine is full of green plums and with a salty, bright aftertaste. Drink now. | Le Renard | 85 | 25 | Burgundy | Bourgogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaines Devillard 2014 Le Renard (Bourgogne) | Chardonnay | Domaines Devillard |
| 23901 | 23900 | US | Green herb, dried tobacco and vanilla aromas are followed by light, easygoing fruit flavors. It comes off as quite green. | | 85 | 25 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Gordon Estate 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Gordon Estate |
| 23881 | 23880 | France | Inspired by Sancerre, but with grapes from other parts of the Loire, this soft, herbal and green-fruit flavored wine is refreshing and lightly textured. Drink now. | | 85 | 15 | Loire Valley | Val de Loire | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Fournier Père et Fils 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Val de Loire) | Sauvignon Blanc | Fournier Père et Fils |
| 23882 | 23881 | Argentina | Soupy raisiny aromas are hefty but lack precision. The palate mostly follows the nose, meaning this tastes of prune and raisin, with a hint of mocha. A thick chunky raisiny finish offers no surprises. | | 85 | 16 | Other | Argentina | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Aguijón De Abeja 2015 Bonarda (Argentina) | Bonarda | Aguijón De Abeja |
| 23883 | 23882 | US | Bright aromas of melon, pear and herb lead to tart dry fruit flavors. The concentration comes off as quite light. | | 85 | 15 | Washington | Yakima Valley | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Airfield Estates 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Yakima Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Airfield Estates |
| 23902 | 23901 | France | Named after the parcel from which this wine originally came, it is delicate and soft. The apple and citrus fruit is light, cut easily with some acidity. The wine is ready to drink. | Collection Tiserny | 85 | 21 | Burgundy | Bourgogne | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | L. Tramier & Fils 2014 Collection Tiserny (Bourgogne) | Chardonnay | L. Tramier & Fils |
| 23903 | 23902 | Moldova | Pale pink in the glass, this sparkling rosé (which is made from Muscat) has aromas of lavender, red cherry and dried rose petals. There are flavors of sweet raspberry and cantaloupe that are topped off with a delicately sweet finish. | Château d'Or Sparkling Rose | 85 | 9 | Moldova | | | Jeff Jenssen | @worldwineguys | Lion-Gri 2015 Château d'Or Sparkling Rose Muscat (Moldova) | Muscat | Lion-Gri |
| 23904 | 23903 | France | Petit Chablis comes from the plateau above the main Chablis vineyards. As here, it offers a light fruity style with only the lightest minerality and much more in the way of apple and citrus flavors. Drink the wine from early 2017. | Blancs Cailloux | 85 | 22 | Burgundy | Petit Chablis | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Pascal Bouchard 2015 Blancs Cailloux (Petit Chablis) | Chardonnay | Pascal Bouchard |
| 23905 | 23904 | US | Bell-pepper scents are cut by cracked pepper and blackberry on the nose of this bottling. The mouthfeel is soft, with black cherry and plum-juice flavors enhanced by peppery spices. | | 85 | 15 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Sand Dollar 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Coast) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Sand Dollar |
| 23906 | 23905 | Georgia | Medium-straw colored in the glass, this wine has aromas of lemon and Mediterranean herbs. Flavors of green apple, toast, and rose petal are not totally unified, and the slightly stiff finish is lifted by a short tart apple burst. | Georgian Valleys | 85 | 12 | Kakheti | | | Mike DeSimone | @worldwineguys | Tbilvino 2015 Georgian Valleys Rkatsiteli (Kakheti) | Rkatsiteli | Tbilvino |
| 23907 | 23906 | France | Attractive crisp citrus and pear fruits mark out this creamy wine. It is light, fruity and lightly salty at the end, a great seafood partner. Drink now. | Alain de la Treille | 85 | 13 | Loire Valley | Muscadet Sèvre et Maine | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Bougrier 2015 Alain de la Treille (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine) | Melon | Bougrier |
| 23908 | 23907 | Italy | This wine is simple and thin, with moderate notes of red cherry and plum, but it's solidly done and the winemaking is clean. | Tavernello | 82 | 7 | Central Italy | Romagna | | | | Caviro 2011 Tavernello Sangiovese (Romagna) | Sangiovese | Caviro |
| 23909 | 23908 | US | Marred by unripe asparagus notes, this Syrah is tough to like despite its smooth tannins and some good blackberry and chocolate fruit. | | 82 | 25 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | | | Firestone 2010 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley) | Syrah | Firestone |
| 23910 | 23909 | Argentina | Mulchy, leafy aromas lead to a pinchy palate with salty, hard berry flavors that lack cushion. This is a rough wine with saltiness and bitterness on the finish. | Zagal | 82 | 14 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Hacienda del Plata 2010 Zagal Malbec (Mendoza) | Malbec | Hacienda del Plata |
| 23884 | 23883 | Brazil | This self-described “soft” Cabernet is light and low in alcohol. Aromas of herbal berry fruits precede a round plump palate with jammy plum and currant flavors. While quaffable and a touch sweet, this bears little resemblance to what most people expect from Cab Sauvignon. | Macaw | 85 | 15 | Serra Gaúcha | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Casa Perini 2014 Macaw Cabernet Sauvignon (Serra Gaúcha) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Casa Perini |
| 23885 | 23884 | Argentina | Gritty berry and bacon aromas are forceful. Matching the nose, the palate feels raw and rubbery. Astringent tannins dry out plum and currant flavors. This Malbec-led blend is punchy, herbal and roasted tasting on the finish. | 505 Esencia | 85 | 12 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Casarena 2013 505 Esencia Red (Mendoza) | Red Blend | Casarena |
| 23886 | 23885 | US | Leathery aromas of dried, sour blueberries show on the nose of this bottling. That sour-berry component extends to the palate, where tar, dried tobacco and more leather make for a somewhat tired sip. | Solstice | 85 | 44 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Midnight 2013 Solstice Malbec (Paso Robles) | Malbec | Midnight |
| 23887 | 23886 | Argentina | A mild chemical note on the nose gives way to stone fruits and some woodiness. This feels round, a touch oily and on the full side. Briny nectarine is the lead flavor, while this tastes salty on a flat-feeling finish. | Trumpeter | 85 | 11 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Rutini 2016 Trumpeter Chardonnay (Mendoza) | Chardonnay | Rutini |
| 23888 | 23887 | Argentina | Punchy prickly citrus aromas are clearly that of Sauvignon Blanc. Light in color and weight, this tastes of tangy citrus with a shot of black and green pepper. Lime is the key flavor noted on a clean but mild finish. | Portillo Estate Bottled | 85 | 10 | Mendoza Province | Uco Valley | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Salentein 2016 Portillo Estate Bottled Sauvignon Blanc (Uco Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Salentein |
| 23889 | 23888 | Italy | This simple light-bodied red offers delicate whiffs of tart sour cherry and a whisper of clove. The delicate aromas are also found on the diluted palate alongside firm acidity and fleeting tannins. | | 85 | 23 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | San Polo 2014 Rosso di Montalcino | Sangiovese | San Polo |
| 23890 | 23889 | US | Light aromas of pineapple and other tropical fruit are accented by herb, floral and citrus flavors. The concentration is very light. | | 85 | 9 | Washington | Washington | Washington Other | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Washington Hills 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Washington) | Sauvignon Blanc | Washington Hills |
| 23891 | 23890 | Argentina | This has an oily gritty nose and a palate with lemony acidity. Flavors of lemon and green currant fall off and turn a touch bitter on the finish, something you could probably predict given the gritty start. | Altosur | 85 | 12 | Mendoza Province | Tupungato | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Finca Sophenia 2016 Altosur Sauvignon Blanc (Tupungato) | Sauvignon Blanc | Finca Sophenia |
| 23892 | 23891 | Italy | This opens with aromas of underbrush, toasted nut and grilled herb. The extremely simple, abrupt palate offers suggestions of sour cherry and orange zest alongside brisk acidity. | | 85 | 24 | Tuscany | Rosso di Montalcino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Fornacina 2014 Rosso di Montalcino | Sangiovese | Fornacina |
| 23893 | 23892 | Spain | Wiry cherry and berry aromas are a bit medicinal and soapy. This is named after the grape, region and town, all called Cariñena. It's a pinched wine with raw rubbery tannins and salty flavors of plum and berry fruits. A crisp tough finish is the close. | 3C | 85 | 10 | Northern Spain | Cariñena | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Grandes Vinos y Viñedos 2015 3C Cariñena (Cariñena) | Carineña | Grandes Vinos y Viñedos |
