| 4381 | 4380 | US | Perhaps the last Washington wine of the vintage to be released, this is beginning to enter mid-life. For those who want a hint of how well Washington reds can age, this is a perfect introduction. Drinking beautifully at the moment, though definitely ageworthy still, it shows a soft mix of medium-ripe red fruits, chocolate, herb, earth and barrel. The finish is like soft leather, with a final impression of milk chocolate. Very seductive. | Tradition | 91 | 30 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Gordon Brothers 2004 Tradition Red (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Red Blend | Gordon Brothers |
| 4382 | 4381 | US | Crafted by Mark McNeilly (Mark Ryan winery), this pure Syrah was cellared in about one third new oak. Tasted shortly after its release, it still showed a bit of a liquorous new oak scent, but without turning up the heat in the finish. The fruit is young and bright, a mix of raspberry, cassis and red licorice. | Collaboration Series III Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine | 91 | 45 | Washington | Red Mountain | Columbia Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Grand Rêve 2007 Collaboration Series III Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Red Wine Syrah (Red Mountain) | Syrah | Grand Rêve |

| 4387 | 4386 | France | The red wine from this vineyard (which also produces a white) is firm with layers of toast from wood aging as well as the potential for ripe red fruits. It is going to need some time to lose that spicy flavor that currently dominates the wine. Give it until 2021. | Les Gravières Premier Cru | 88 | 45 | Burgundy | Santenay | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Jessiaume 2015 Les Gravières Premier Cru (Santenay) | Pinot Noir | Domaine Jessiaume |
