| 66272 | 66271 | Argentina | Opaque in color, with heady aromas of berry fruits, copious oak and minerality, this is a generous and fiery red blend. In the mouth, the feel is hot and edgy; flavors of molasses, roasted berry fruits and smoked meat finish hollow. | Benchmark Reserva | 88 | | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Las Vertientes 2011 Benchmark Reserva Red (Mendoza) | Red Blend | Las Vertientes |
| 66273 | 66272 | US | Enormously sweet and soft, with glycerine, brown sugar, black cherry, white chocolate, vanilla bean and white pepper flavors, this is one of the more eccentric, heady dessert wines out there. The alcohol is ridiculously high, yet the Madeira-like sweetness balances it. | Amaro | 88 | 50 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | | | Margerum NV Amaro Red (Santa Barbara County) | Red Blend | Margerum |
| 66274 | 66273 | US | With such pedigreed names as winemaker Aaron Pott and viticulturalist David Abreu, Bello's owners spared no expense in crafting this Cabernet. The result, while rich, is unexciting. It has ripe, flashy flavors of blackberries, cherries and new French oak. | Megahertz | 88 | 50 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | Bello Family Vineyards 2010 Megahertz Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Bello Family Vineyards |

| 66276 | 66275 | Italy | Made entirely from Sangiovese and aged in French oak, this wine opens with aromas of oak, coffee, black fruit and spice.

| 66277 | 66276 | Italy | Made predominantly from Sangiovese with 8% Canaiolo, this wine begins with aromas of toasted oak, spice, mature black berries and just a whiff of rubber. The palate offers black cherry, white and red pepper, espresso and roasted coffee bean alongside youthful, astringent tannins that need a few years to unwind. | Il Picchio Riserva | 88 | 52 | Tuscany | Chianti Classico | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Castello di Querceto 2010 Il Picchio Riserva (Chianti Classico) | Red Blend | Castello di Querceto |
| 66278 | 66277 | US | Raspberry and cherry fruit flavors flood the mouth on this Zin, making it instantly delicious. The superripeness shows on the finish, where chocolate-covered raisin notes show up. With complex, gentle tannins and some heat from alcohol, it's drinking well now. | Estate | 88 | 35 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | | | Grgich Hills 2010 Estate Zinfandel (Napa Valley) | Zinfandel | Grgich Hills |
| 66279 | 66278 | France | Very perfumed, this is a wine torn between oxidation and freshness. The aromas are nutty and smoky; when tasted, the wine is ripe and fruity, full of apricot and spice. To bring the two sides together, it should age, so drink from 2015. | Naturé | 88 | 31 | France Other | Côtes du Jura | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Berthet-Bondet 2011 Naturé Savagnin (Côtes du Jura) | Savagnin | Domaine Berthet-Bondet |
| 66280 | 66279 | France | The wine has toast, vanilla and pear flavors, still young and tightly closed. It needs several months to begin to open up and to show its intrinsic fruitiness and potential richness.

| 66281 | 66280 | US | A testament to coolness—cool place, cool year—this Marin County Pinot is earthy, round and tight, suggesting it could use a little more time to develop. Cranberry and spice rule the roost and the wine's lightness of being would pair well with fresh-caught salmon not looking to be overwhelmed. | Azaya Ranch Vineyard | 88 | 58 | California | Marin County | North Coast | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Dutton-Goldfield 2011 Azaya Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir (Marin County) | Pinot Noir | Dutton-Goldfield |
| 66282 | 66281 | Italy | A blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Alicante and 5% Ciliegiolo, this wine has earthy aromas that recall wet soil, leather and pressed blue flower petals. The juicy palate delivers fleshy black cherry and raspberry.

| 66283 | 66282 | US | A thick, concentrated wine with a softness on the palate, this traffics in ripe black fruit and substantial tannins. Rustic, it recalls the days of The Count and the early wines enjoyed in Sonoma County during the state's first golden age of wine. | The Count Founder's | 87 | 20 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Buena Vista 2013 The Count Founder's Red (Sonoma County) | Red Blend | Buena Vista |

| 66286 | 66285 | Chile | Plum and berry aromas are a bit grassy on the nose. This is plump and full in body, with herbal notes held in check by ripe black-cherry and black-plum flavors. On the finish, the flavors are mild and easy. | Gran Reserva Apalta | 87 | 15 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Carmen 2012 Gran Reserva Apalta Carmenère (Colchagua Valley) | Carmenère | Carmen |

| 66289 | 66288 | France | This fortified wine made from Tannat certainly has the grape's tannins. However, these are surrounded by sweet plum flavors and contrasting acidity. It is a sweet wine while fresh and fruity, and can be drunk now. | Maydie Vintage | 87 | 28 | France Other | Vin de Liqueur | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château d'Aydie 2012 Maydie Vintage Tannat (Vin de Liqueur) | Tannat | Château d'Aydie |
| 66290 | 66289 | France | This wine is ripe, full of blackberry fruits as well as layers of wood aging. It has spice, juicy fruitiness and fresh acidity at the end. Balanced and ripe, it merits waiting to drink from 2017. | | 87 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Supérieur | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château du Bois Chantant 2013 Bordeaux Supérieur | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château du Bois Chantant |
| 66291 | 66290 | France | While the tannins are still young, enough fruit gives balance and potential to the wine. It has structure and a dry texture sustained by the black currant fruitiness in the background. Drink from 2017. Joseph Arbo bought the property in 1988 and installed a new winery in 2011. | | 87 | 19 | Bordeaux | Francs Côtes de Bordeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Godard Bellevue 2013 Francs Côtes de Bordeaux | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Godard Bellevue |
| 66292 | 66291 | France | This blend of hand-picked 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc is still tough with dark tannins and a black plum-skin texture. It has a lean side, with a severe character that seems likely to remain part of the wine. Drink from 2016. The d'Arfeuille family is now in its fifth century on Bordeaux's Right Bank. | | 87 | 20 | Bordeaux | Fronsac | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Tessendey 2011 Fronsac | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Tessendey |

| 66294 | 66293 | US | This wine has pleasing aromas of pear and melon followed by medium-sweet fruit flavors.

| 66295 | 66294 | France | The Savagnin grape is rarely found outside the Jura. Here it gives an unusual wine, like a dry Sherry, yeasty and with intense acidity to go with the dry, tangy texture.

| 66297 | 66296 | France | Putting alcohol with grape juice has a long tradition right across France. It doesn't make it any less bizarre. The problem is the alcohol doesn't blend with the grape juice, with two elements sitting alongside each other. This wine, with its sweet fruit flavor of marmalade that is cut by a strong brandy spirit sharpness, is for those who like strange drinks. Enjoy as a long drink and as an aperitif. | Macvin du Jura | 87 | 56 | France Other | Côtes du Jura | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de Savagny NV Macvin du Jura White (Côtes du Jura) | White Blend | Domaine de Savagny |
| 66298 | 66297 | US | There's a dusky walnut edge on the deep color, and aromas are lightly floral and strawberry-like with a slight smoky note. However, the flavors are quite savory, smoky, earthy and meaty, building a wild taste profile. These accompany a medium body and firm texture with light tannins and acidity. | Five Thirteen | 87 | 35 | California | El Dorado | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Donkey & Goat 2013 Five Thirteen Red (El Dorado) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Donkey & Goat |

| 66300 | 66299 | Italy | Fresh and friendly, this medium-bodied, no-frills red delivers layers of blackberry, black currant, ground black pepper and a note of dried sage.
