| 25561 | 25560 | US | Light and chalky aromas of lemon peel, yeast and white flowers are pure and inviting on the nose of this bottling by regional sparkling pioneer Norm Yost.

| 25566 | 25565 | US | Intensely dark aromas of black currant, char, roast beef and a slight bit of gamy funk show on the very masculine nose of this bottling by San Jose-based vintner Adam Comartin.

| 25571 | 25570 | Chile | Gritty white-fruit and green aromas are more neutral than loud. This has a sharp, citric mouthfeel that's all about acidity.

| 25576 | 25575 | France | Mango aromas bring out the tropical character of this superripe wine. It is soft and creamy, maybe too much so, since it lacks a crisper edge. It is ready to drink. | Domaine de la Batie | 85 | 28 | Burgundy | Saint-Véran | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Georges Duboeuf 2015 Domaine de la Batie (Saint-Véran) | Chardonnay | Georges Duboeuf |
| 25577 | 25576 | Chile | A blast of hard spice and herbaceous aromas is the greeting on this blend of Cabernet and Carmenère.

| 25581 | 25580 | Spain | Heavy oak gives off sawmill aromas, with only touches of apple and stone-fruit scents lurking below the surface. This feels creamy, heavy and striving for balance.

| 25584 | 25583 | Spain | A heavily oaked nose of berry fruits quickly gets taken over by creamy milk chocolate and clove scents. An overextracted tannic palate holds flavors of burnt wood and blackened spices. On the finish, this wine is so charred and woody that it tastes bitter. | | 85 | 18 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Protos 2015 Ribera del Duero | Tinto Fino | Protos |
| 25585 | 25584 | US | This wine is comprised of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Pinot Noir, 7% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot and the remainder Syrah and Zinfandel.

| 25586 | 25585 | Spain | A yeasty nose smells all right but somewhat artificial and not that fruity. A low-acid palate has flavors of melon and grape skins, but the total package seems a touch nutty and prematurely stale. A flat finish is consistent with what came before. | | 85 | 12 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Sierra Cantabria 2016 Rosé (Rioja) | Rosé | Sierra Cantabria |
| 25587 | 25586 | Spain | A severe sense of funk and sweat is the aromatic greeting on this Sauvignon Blanc-Semillón blend. A crisp, citric palate tastes green, like lime and tarragon. On the finish, this is tight and stony, with overt citric acidity. | Taleia | 85 | 45 | Catalonia | Costers del Segre | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Castell d'Encus 2014 Taleia White (Costers del Segre) | White Blend | Castell d'Encus |
