| 20101 | 20100 | US | This wine is pale peach in color. It starts with aromas of strawberry, herb and spice that lead to juicy, just-off-dry, well-balanced fruit flavors that provide a whole lot of appeal. | Alder Ridge Vineyard Rosé | 88 | 22 | Washington | Horse Heaven Hills | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | L'Ecole No. 41 2015 Alder Ridge Vineyard Rosé Grenache (Horse Heaven Hills) | Grenache | L'Ecole No. 41 |
| 20102 | 20101 | Chile | Chunky aromas of peach and melon are briny and pickled. With high acidity maintaining shape, there's pinch to the palate. Typical Elqui Valley flavors of mustard and briny apple finish full, viscous and muscular, with a pickled citrus aftertaste. | 1865 Single Vineyard | 88 | 18 | Elqui Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | San Pedro 2015 1865 Single Vineyard Chardonnay (Elqui Valley) | Chardonnay | San Pedro |
| 20103 | 20102 | US | Spicy, minty aromas and rich flavors like dark chocolate and black cherries add up to a bold, full-bodied wine from the Lange Twins. It has a deep color, moderate tannins to add grip to the texture and a lingering finish. | | 88 | 12 | California | Clarksburg | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Sand Point 2013 Merlot (Clarksburg) | Merlot | Sand Point |
| 20104 | 20103 | US | This blends 51% Merlot with 29% Zinfandel, 15% Petit Verdot and 5% Petite Sirah, combining nicely for a full-bodied expression of chocolate and dried dark cherry. On the palate, it becomes dusty and somewhat rustic, with an intensely juicy finish. | Nicole Marie | 88 | 22 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Sean Minor 2013 Nicole Marie Red (Napa Valley) | Red Blend | Sean Minor |
| 20105 | 20104 | US | A vein of burnt sugar threads curiously from nose to finish in this dry full-bodied Pinot Gris. Sunny tangerine, pineapple and apricot flavors flood the midpalate, brightened by streak of lime acidity. A graceful balance of brawn and restraint, it should drink well through 2021. | Estate Bottled | 88 | 16 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Sheldrake Point 2015 Estate Bottled Pinot Gris (Finger Lakes) | Pinot Gris | Sheldrake Point |
| 20106 | 20105 | US | Deep golden-yellow in the glass, this wine offers honeyed, candied aromas of mango, crystallized vanilla and golden raisin. It's thick and unctuous on the palate, with more honey, spun sugar, honeysuckle and fruit-nectar flavors that are delicious, but would be aided by a boost of acidity. | R&V Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Late Harvest | 88 | | California | Santa Lucia Highlands | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Talbott 2012 R&V Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Late Harvest Riesling (Santa Lucia Highlands) | Riesling | Talbott |
| 20107 | 20106 | US | Mineral, dried peach, lees and honeysuckle aromas lead to just off-dry flavors. Racy acidity frames it nicely. | Evergreen Vineyard | 88 | 18 | Washington | Ancient Lakes | Columbia Valley | Sean P. Sullivan | @wawinereport | Tempus Cellars 2014 Evergreen Vineyard Riesling (Ancient Lakes) | Riesling | Tempus Cellars |
| 20108 | 20107 | France | Lemony freshness meets earthy, textured glints on this slender Riesling characterized by its brightness and slender body. Underneath it all, plenty of tart, refreshing apple fruit leads to a clean, lively finish. | Tradition | 88 | 23 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Vieil Armand 2014 Tradition Riesling (Alsace) | Riesling | Vieil Armand |
| 20109 | 20108 | Chile | Earthy cherry and cassis aromas are backed by bacon and generic gritty scents. This Maule Malbec feels chunky, while salty plum and oaky flavors finish with notes of hickory, savory meat and controlled heat. | Private Reserve | 88 | 11 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña el Aromo 2012 Private Reserve Malbec (Maule Valley) | Malbec | Viña el Aromo |
| 20110 | 20109 | France | Notes of freshly peeled red apples are inviting and continue on the soft, rounded and generous palate. It has a lovely midpalate mouthfeel and drinks just off dry, with an accent of vanilla and the merest touch of cinnamon. | Tradition | 88 | 17 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | W. Gisselbrecht 2015 Tradition Pinot Gris (Alsace) | Pinot Gris | W. Gisselbrecht |
| 20111 | 20110 | France | Soft notes of honeysuckle adorn mandarin and clementine fruit. The off-dry palate is richer than the nose suggests and its residual sweetness boosts the full-fruited, peachy nature of the wine. It finishes warm, but zesty and citrus-flavored. | | 88 | 17 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Wolfberger 2015 Gewurztraminer (Alsace) | Gewürztraminer | Wolfberger |
| 20112 | 20111 | US | Black-cherry and currant flavors are concentrated but restrained in this full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend. Smoky, woody and a bit savory in style, it's abundantly oaky but should balance out neatly from 2020. Bold tannins and brisk acidity mark the finish. | Fatalis Fatum | 88 | 35 | New York | Long Island | Long Island | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Wölffer 2013 Fatalis Fatum Red (Long Island) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Wölffer |
| 20113 | 20112 | France | This is a rich dense wine, full of blackberry fruits. With its firm tannins behind ripe fruitiness, it has fresh acidity and layers of wood to give extra density. The wine is still maturing and should be ready from 2018. | Tour des Gendres | 88 | 14 | Southwest France | Bergerac | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Tour des Gendres 2015 Tour des Gendres Red (Bergerac) | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Tour des Gendres |
| 20114 | 20113 | France | Produced in clay amphoras from organically grown grapes, this is an almost honeyed wine even though it's dry. It is richly textured and ripe, with floral and bitter spice tones. Enjoy from 2017. | K-Libre 1040 | 88 | 27 | Southwest France | Côtes du Lot | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Clos Troteligotte 2014 K-Libre 1040 Chenin Blanc (Côtes du Lot) | Chenin Blanc | Clos Troteligotte |
| 20115 | 20114 | US | Forward and fruity yet balanced and composed, this bold red blend is made from a kitchen's sink blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Luscious black-cherry and plum flavors are ripe but keep a shade short of jammy and are highlighted by a bright vein of acidity. Bold, dense tannins on the finish should meld nicely by 2020. | Archeology | 88 | 65 | New York | North Fork of Long Island | Long Island | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Clovis Point 2013 Archeology Red (North Fork of Long Island) | Red Blend | Clovis Point |
| 20116 | 20115 | France | This is an impressively rich wine for a simple Beaujolais. It has plenty of fruit, while it also has a good depth with ripe red-berry fruits and some well-integrated tannins. | | 88 | 11 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Collin-Bourisset 2015 Beaujolais | Gamay | Collin-Bourisset |
| 20117 | 20116 | Spain | Briny lemon-lime aromas come with a note of scrambled egg, which is not uncommon for Cava. Fresh and easy across the palate, this tastes of lettuce, dried apple, white pepper and salty brine. A dry, lightly salty finish maintains integrity. | Cava Brut | 88 | 13 | Catalonia | Cava | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Conde de Subirats NV Cava Brut Sparkling (Cava) | Sparkling Blend | Conde de Subirats |
| 20118 | 20117 | US | This blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon offers fresh blackberries on cold slate and a light herbal character with dill, oregano and tarragon. A minty quality carries into the sip, where black plum, pepper dust and light tar show. | Test Pilot | 88 | 39 | California | Santa Cruz Mountains | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Cooper-Garrod 2011 Test Pilot Red (Santa Cruz Mountains) | Red Blend | Cooper-Garrod |
| 20119 | 20118 | Portugal | This is a ripe, smooth blend of Alvarinho and Chardonnay. The two complement each other well with yellow fruits touched by a more citrus edge and a rich character. It is fruity, full-bodied and ready to drink. | Point West | 88 | 10 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | DFJ Vinhos 2015 Point West White (Lisboa) | Portuguese White | DFJ Vinhos |
| 20120 | 20119 | Portugal | Named after the Portuguese word for the sommelier's tastevin, the wine is rich with juicy red fruits. It has a firm structure that emphasizes the wine's youth showing that it should develop. Densely textured at the end, the wine will be ready to drink from 2017. | Scancio Reserva Touriga Nacional-Syrah | 88 | 15 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | DFJ Vinhos 2015 Scancio Reserva Touriga Nacional-Syrah Red (Lisboa) | Portuguese Red | DFJ Vinhos |
| 20121 | 20120 | France | A structured and concentrated wine that is packed with tannins. It does have some black fruit under this dry structure although the wine misses out on richness. It will be ready to drink from 2017. | Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup Le Regard de l'Ange | 88 | 31 | Beaujolais | Morgon | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine de Leyre-Loup 2013 Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup Le Regard de l'Ange (Morgon) | Gamay | Domaine de Leyre-Loup |
| 20122 | 20121 | France | There are some fine, dry tannins in this wine along the dark cherry fruit and acidity. It comes from a single vineyard part of the 61-acre estate of Jean-Paul Dubost. There is a ripe feeling here; drink this balanced wine now. | Climat le Tracot | 88 | 13 | Beaujolais | Beaujolais-Villages | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Dubost 2015 Climat le Tracot (Beaujolais-Villages) | Gamay | Domaine Dubost |
| 20123 | 20122 | US | At the time of tasting, the nose of this dry white was still quite closed, but its buoyant, almost tropical, expressions of mango, cantaloupe and stone fruit on the palate were already quite irresistible. Penetrating and juicy, it wraps up elegantly with a zesty mineral finish. Drink through 2018 to enjoy its fresh, fruity style. | | 88 | 20 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Dr. Konstantin Frank 2015 Pinot Gris (Finger Lakes) | Pinot Gris | Dr. Konstantin Frank |
| 20124 | 20123 | Chile | Clean, reserved citrus and ocean-influenced aromas set up a zesty palate with a common mix of tangerine, lime and green-herb flavors. A lasting finish with peppery snap helps this along. | Winemaker's Collection | 88 | 12 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Espiritu de Chile 2015 Winemaker's Collection Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Espiritu de Chile |
| 20125 | 20124 | US | Amidst layers of bramble, toast, cedar and herb, bright raspberry and blackberry flavors penetrate throughout this full-bodied Cab Franc. Equal parts fruity and savory, it suggests nuances of beet and soil without being earthy or vegetal. Sunny cranberry acidity and whispery tannins lend a soft, easy frame. | | 88 | 25 | New York | Hudson River Region | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Fjord 2014 Cabernet Franc (Hudson River Region) | Cabernet Franc | Fjord |
| 20126 | 20125 | US | Honeycomb and a fruit basket of melon and berry ride a wave of medium acidity and mellowed sweetness, with a touch of green apple. This is a good call for morning Mimosas. | Blanc de Blancs | 88 | 55 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Frank Family 2012 Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay (Carneros) | Chardonnay | Frank Family |
| 20127 | 20126 | Spain | Cleanliness is a fleeting quality on this rosé, which smells compromised and artificial. A modest palate feel and dry, hollow, mostly fruitless flavors lead to a bland finish. | | 84 | 12 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Sierra Cantabria 2015 Rosé (Rioja) | Rosé | Sierra Cantabria |
| 20128 | 20127 | Portugal | This young, citrus flavored wine is crisp and still with its yeasty and fruity flavors. The wine is fresh and ready to drink. | Lobo e Falcão (Wolf and Falcon) | 84 | 10 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta do Casal Branco 2015 Lobo e Falcão (Wolf and Falcon) White (Tejo) | Portuguese White | Quinta do Casal Branco |
| 20129 | 20128 | Portugal | This is a rustic wine with very ripe fruit that gives a red jelly flavor. It is simple, with a dry edge and acidity, ready to drink now. | Casa de Cambres Colheita | 84 | 12 | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Solar de Cambres 2014 Casa de Cambres Colheita Red (Douro) | Portuguese Red | Solar de Cambres |
| 20130 | 20129 | US | Perhaps made in a light-bodied style, this wine comes off as herbal and a touch green, with a dullness on the palate. Aged in 30% new French oak, it takes on a taste of coffee bean that intrigues. | Las Madres Vineyard | 84 | 36 | California | Carneros | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Apsara 2014 Las Madres Vineyard Syrah (Carneros) | Syrah | Apsara |
