| 56611 | 56610 | US | Made in a stainless-steel, grassy style, this features a charming balance of peach and apricot buzzing in the background to maintain the fruit amidst the natural acidity. Delightfully drinkable, it finishes lean and crisp. | | 90 | 19 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Pech Merle 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Dry Creek Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Pech Merle |
| 56612 | 56611 | England | A mix of fruity notes immediately hit: white currant, gooseberry, apple and citrus. The palate is slender and fizzes with those primary fruit flavors that have overtones of meadow flowers. This is frothy, refreshing and fun on the surface, but there is serious backbone and intent. | Blanc de Blancs | 90 | 46 | England | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Ridgeview Estate 2011 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (England) | Chardonnay | Ridgeview Estate |
| 56613 | 56612 | US | Leather and cooked meats open the nose of this wine from Southern California that also shows aromas of blackberry extract. Once sipped, it offers dark and dense flavors of sweet tar, concentrated violets and a pinch of lavender, all held together by grippy tannins. | VIneyard Riserva | 90 | 36 | California | Temecula Valley | South Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Robert Renzoni 2011 VIneyard Riserva Sangiovese (Temecula Valley) | Sangiovese | Robert Renzoni |
| 56614 | 56613 | US | Several varieties figure into this blend, from 26% Zinfandel and 21% Syrah to smaller amounts of Merlot, Petite Sirah, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Big and powerful in smoky leather and black currant, it offers a rich softness on the palate, with a tightly wound savory, peppery aspect to the finish. | Heritage | 90 | 30 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Roth 2012 Heritage Red (Sonoma County) | Red Blend | Roth |
| 56615 | 56614 | US | Herb, dark raspberry and flower aromas take the lead on this young wine that saw just five months on neutral French oak. The cherry flavors are plush in feel, lingering on the finish. It's a very understated wine that appeals to the senses. | Copeland Vineayard | 90 | 26 | Washington | Rattlesnake Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Savage Grace 2014 Copeland Vineayard Cabernet Franc (Rattlesnake Hills) | Cabernet Franc | Savage Grace |
| 56616 | 56615 | US | A 60% majority of Zinfandel plays nicely with 40% Petite Sirah, blending into a happy union of big, ripe blackberry and thick tannins. Smooth on the palate, with a touch of vanilla, it highlights red and black fruit in complementary waves, staying juicy throughout. | San Lorenzo Estate | 90 | 60 | California | Alexander Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Seghesio 2012 San Lorenzo Estate Red (Alexander Valley) | Red Blend | Seghesio |
| 56617 | 56616 | US | This powerful blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc by longtime urban winemaker Benjamin Silver comes together in a big way. Aromas recall rosemary-crusted beef, boysenberry, sweet tar and, thanks to the oak-aging, both caramel and vanilla. The rich palate shows black cherry, black raspberry and a pinch of tarragon. | I Tre Figli | 90 | 35 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Silver 2009 I Tre Figli Red (Santa Barbara County) | Red Blend | Silver |
| 56618 | 56617 | US | Rounded by small amounts of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, this Cab is earthy and lean on entry, before developing in the glass into juicy dark cherry and leathery notes. Smooth, integrated oak and tannin leave an impression in terms of texture, with a persistence of tannin on the finish. | | 90 | 53 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Stags' Leap Winery 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Stags' Leap Winery |
| 56619 | 56618 | US | A blend of Syrah, Merlot and Malbec, this wine has aromas of berry, cocoa and vanilla. The cranberry and cherry flavors are tart and full flavored with a velvety feel. | | 90 | 31 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | The Conqueror 2012 Red (Horse Heaven Hills) | Red Blend | The Conqueror |
| 56620 | 56619 | US | With the majority of the fruit from the producer's Calistoga and Oakville estate vineyards, as well as its Healdsburg property, this is a dry, citrus-laden wine, zesty and refreshing in lime and grapefruit. The acidity is dialed high, yet remains balanced by the density of fruit and body, the overall effect just right in terms of ripeness. | | 90 | 25 | California | Napa County-Sonoma County | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Twomey 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa County-Sonoma County) | Sauvignon Blanc | Twomey |
| 56621 | 56620 | US | This is a nicely blended mix of 37% Zinfandel with smaller amounts of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The kitchen-sink effort rewards in juicy red fruit, herbal, cedar accents and medium-bodied weight and tannin strength. The finish is lengthy in vanilla and smoke. | EnTycement | 90 | 28 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Ty Caton 2012 EnTycement Red (Sonoma County) | Red Blend | Ty Caton |
| 56622 | 56621 | US | Like a genie released from the bottle, this wine rises up with aromas of violets, herbs, cranberry and bittersweet chocolate. The palate has tart, vibrant acidity along with a silky feel with little apparent new-oak influence to interfere with the fruit and savory flavors. It's a pretty wine that needs to be paired with food to be fully appreciated. | Damavian Les Collines Vineyard | 90 | 45 | Washington | Walla Walla Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | W.T. Vintners 2012 Damavian Les Collines Vineyard Syrah (Walla Walla Valley (WA)) | Syrah | W.T. Vintners |
| 56623 | 56622 | US | While five years from harvest, this bold, penetrating Merlot is still a baby, with a long, promising future ahead. Subtle whiffs of crisp red cherry and mushroom seem quiet on the nose, but the palate is deeply concentrated. Black plum and cherry flavors are penetrating yet deftly grounded by a core of mouth puckering tannin and acidity. Enjoy starting 2020, but should maintain for much longer. | Grand Vin | 90 | 35 | New York | North Fork of Long Island | Long Island | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Waters Crest 2010 Grand Vin Merlot (North Fork of Long Island) | Merlot | Waters Crest |
| 56624 | 56623 | US | Vibrant aromas of black plum, cassis, dried leather, licorice and herb lead to full, sweet, soft-feeling dark fruit flavors that linger. | | 90 | 40 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | William Church 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA)) | Cabernet Sauvignon | William Church |

Sullivan | @wawinereport | 14 Hands 2012 The Reserve Cabernet Franc (Horse Heaven Hills) | Cabernet Franc | 14 Hands |
| 56626 | 56625 | Spain | Aromas of clover blossom, stony minerals and apple are inviting and clean. This is fairly full in body, with pulpy weight as well as citrusy acidity. Pithy flavors of orange and citrus rind turn slightly bitter on the finish. Drink now. | Eidos de Padriñán | 90 | 22 | Galicia | Rías Baixas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Adega dos Eidos 2014 Eidos de Padriñán Albariño (Rías Baixas) | Albariño | Adega dos Eidos |
| 56627 | 56626 | US | Herb, cherry, smoke, cedar, vanilla and coffee aromas are out front, with the Cabernet Sauvignon blended in (18%) showing itself. The palate is rich but well balanced, with coffee flavors lingering on the finish. It doesn't seem entirely varietal but it brings plenty of appeal. | Estate Grown | 90 | 28 | Washington | Red Mountain | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Ambassador Vineyard 2012 Estate Grown Syrah (Red Mountain) | Syrah | Ambassador Vineyard |
| 56628 | 56627 | Austria | Ripe notes of yellow pear are rounded with creamy notes of yeast. There are overtones of dried hayflowers and fresh, green spring meadows. The palate comes together around a vein of zesty, enlivening lime freshness and leaves a clean, mouthwatering finish. | Liebenberg Federspiel | 90 | 25 | Wachau | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Domäne Wachau 2015 Liebenberg Federspiel Grüner Veltliner (Wachau) | Grüner Veltliner | Domäne Wachau |
| 56629 | 56628 | US | Impressively crafted from 20-plus-year-old vines, thus the Heritage tag, this blend of mostly Zin with 20% Petite Sirah and 1% Primitivo is like Sunday brunch. It offers a study in bacon and strawberries laced in syrup, a thick, leathery wine that finishes balanced and just shy of over-decadent. | Heritage Vines | 90 | 22 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Dry Creek Vineyard 2014 Heritage Vines Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) | Zinfandel | Dry Creek Vineyard |
| 56630 | 56629 | Austria | Lime zest, the freshly peeled skin of Conference pears and crushed watercress make for an intensely fresh trio of flavors. This is zesty and concentrated, sleek and refreshing on a linear, slender but concentrated palate. | Süssenberg Federspiel | 90 | 22 | Wachau | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Eder 2015 Süssenberg Federspiel Grüner Veltliner (Wachau) | Grüner Veltliner | Eder |
| 56631 | 56630 | US | Seeing just a kiss of new oak (20%), this wine offers brooding aromas of spice, white flowers, tropical fruit and citrus. The palate is full of white-grapefruit flavors backed by a zing of tart acidity, with barrel spice flavors lingering on the finish. It shows a lot of tension. | Sauvage Boushey Vineyard | 90 | 25 | Washington | Yakima Valley | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Efeste 2014 Sauvage Boushey Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Yakima Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Efeste |
| 56632 | 56631 | US | Named for the documentary filmmaker, artist and wife of Francis Ford Coppola, Eleanor blends Syrah and Petite Sirah from Rutherford with Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and Syrah from Dry Creek Valley to form a rich, red, extracted wine generously succulent in cranberry and dark cherry. Licorice, tar and tobacco add to the complexity and flavor. | | 90 | 60 | California | Sonoma County-Napa County | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Eleanor 2013 Red (Sonoma County-Napa County) | Red Blend | Eleanor |
| 56633 | 56632 | Italy | Aromas of ripe berry, fragrant blue flower and a whiff of Alpine herb lead the nose. The generous palate offers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and licorice alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2018–2023. | del Comune di La Morra | 90 | 40 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Ellena 2012 del Comune di La Morra (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Ellena |
| 56634 | 56633 | US | Brooding aromas of barrel spice, dried herbs, cranberry and black cherry lead to ripe but in focus pit-fruit flavors that show a pleasing sense of harmony. A squeeze of firm tannins provides the frame. | Parabellum Force Majeure Vineyard | 90 | 55 | Washington | Red Mountain | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Force Majeure 2013 Parabellum Force Majeure Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Force Majeure |
| 56635 | 56634 | Austria | Unusual hints of mango hint at very ripe fruit. The slender palate counters this aromatic abundance with tenderly fresh notes of lemon zest and wood sorrel. The result is both delicious and refreshing. | Neuberg | 90 | 13 | Kremstal | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Forstreiter 2015 Neuberg Grüner Veltliner (Kremstal) | Grüner Veltliner | Forstreiter |
| 56636 | 56635 | Spain | Of all the excellent Genium 2010s, this is the only one that's a bit stalky on the nose. It's also rubbery smelling, with tight-grained oak scents and earth notes. Hard, tannic and without much cushion, this Garnacha-led blend tastes earthy, stalky and of high-toned plum and currant with lemony oak. A bold, tannic finish says this will last through about 2024. | Poboleda Vi de la Vila | 90 | 45 | Catalonia | Priorat | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Genium Celler 2010 Poboleda Vi de la Vila Red (Priorat) | Red Blend | Genium Celler |
| 56637 | 56636 | Italy | This opens with aromas that recall underbrush, tilled soil, crushed stone, dried herb and menthol. The big, powerful palate delivers dried black cherry, licorice, clove, mineral and the warmth of evident alcohol. Velvety tannins provide the framework. | San Lorenzo | 90 | | Sicily & Sardinia | Etna | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Girolamo Russo 2014 San Lorenzo (Etna) | Red Blend | Girolamo Russo |
| 56638 | 56637 | Austria | Fresh, even vigorous pear and lemon zest notes make a promising opening. The palate is light but has a concentrated, almost fizzing core of peppery, citrussy freshness and delivers lots of verve. This is a collaborative effort between a German star chef and an Austrian winemaker to celebrate this variety's endless versatility with imaginative cooking. I think they've done themselves justice. | Edition Witzigmann | 90 | 17 | Niederösterreich | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Türk 2015 Edition Witzigmann Grüner Veltliner (Niederösterreich) | Grüner Veltliner | Türk |
| 56639 | 56638 | Austria | A rather closed nose gives way to a very light-bodied, lime-zest scented and pure palate that boasts the slightest shimmer of pepperiness and enhances its light-footed, barely-there credentials with the tiniest hint of fizz. If you like it light, clean and yet flavorful, this is for you. | Langenlois | 90 | 18 | Kamptal | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Weszeli 2015 Langenlois Grüner Veltliner (Kamptal) | Grüner Veltliner | Weszeli |
| 56640 | 56639 | US | Swirls of butterscotch lend a rich, almost lactic feel to this sumptuously full-bodied wine. It's unabashedly oaky, boasting deep layers of spice, nut and caramel, but maintains a stately, firmly structured elegance. Bright, lemony acidity and a strike of minerality mark the finish. | Perle | 90 | 30 | New York | The Hamptons, Long Island | Long Island | Anna Lee C.
