| 3399 | 3398 | US | Pruney and somewhat reduced, this thick offering of chocolate and blackberry jam needs food to mellow it out, preferably meat covered thickly in sauce. | | 84 | 32 | California | Napa County-Sonoma County | Napa-Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Michael-Scott 2013 Zinfandel (Napa County-Sonoma County) | Zinfandel | Michael-Scott |
| 3400 | 3399 | Argentina | Wiry, briary currant and herbal aromas announce a hard but juicy wine with buttery oak, salty red fruit flavors and a loud herbal angle. This is both briny tasting and a touch weedy on the finish. | Valle Las Acequias | 84 | 15 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Luis Segundo Correas 2013 Valle Las Acequias Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendoza) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Luis Segundo Correas |
| 3401 | 3400 | Portugal | This is a rich, full wine that has red fruits and soft tannins. With balanced acidity, only a hint of tannins, it is ready to drink. | Montaria Tinto | 84 | 8 | Alentejano | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Parras Vinhos 2014 Montaria Tinto Red (Alentejano) | Portuguese Red | Parras Vinhos |
| 3402 | 3401 | Portugal | This is a gentle, ripe wine that has pineapple and peach flavors and fresh fruitiness. It is smooth with balanced acidity and a zesty aftertaste. Drink now. | Quartilho Branco | 84 | 13 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta do Casal Branco 2014 Quartilho Branco White (Tejo) | Portuguese White | Quinta do Casal Branco |
| 3403 | 3402 | Portugal | A young, fresh blend of Arinto and Fernão Pires, the wine is fruity, light and with a crisp, bright aftertaste. Drink now. | | 84 | 10 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Quinta do Casal Monteiro 2015 White (Tejo) | Portuguese White | Quinta do Casal Monteiro |
| 3404 | 3403 | US | Somewhat disjointed flavors mix subtle red fruits with cracker, licorice and coffee. So far the components have not smoothed out. It's a flavor jumble. | | 84 | 40 | Oregon | Applegate Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Schmidt 2012 Pinot Noir (Applegate Valley) | Pinot Noir | Schmidt |
| 3405 | 3404 | US | Faint notes of yuzu rise over underripe peach in this unoaked Chardonnay. The light-bodied palate shows a mild concentration of lemon leading to a short but clean finish. | Unoaked | 84 | 32 | Michigan | Lake Michigan Shore | | Alexander Peartree | | Three Fires 2013 Unoaked Chardonnay (Lake Michigan Shore) | Chardonnay | Three Fires |
| 3406 | 3405 | US | Muddled aromas of tangerine, grapefruit and papaya seem a bit soapy in character. The palate feels a bit underripe, showing milky florals upfront and unconcentrated citrus on the back. | Dry | 84 | 18 | Michigan | Leelanau Peninsula | | Alexander Peartree | | Verterra 2014 Dry Gewurztraminer (Leelanau Peninsula) | Gewürztraminer | Verterra |
| 3407 | 3406 | Portugal | The wine is fresh with red berry flavors and a stalky tannic core. It's lightly perfumed, light in texture and ready to drink. | Bastardo! Black Edition Tinto | 84 | 25 | Tejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Wine with Spirit 2013 Bastardo! Black Edition Tinto Red (Tejo) | Portuguese Red | Wine with Spirit |
| 3408 | 3407 | Portugal | There is an attractive, light prickle on the tongue of this fresh, crisp and fruity wine. It is dry, tensely tangy with a green, zesty character. Drink now. | Seafood & Co | 84 | 12 | Vinho Verde | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Wine with Spirit 2014 Seafood & Co White (Vinho Verde) | Portuguese White | Wine with Spirit |
| 3409 | 3408 | Spain | Oily aromas of orange peel are inoffensive. A shearing palate offers little textural pleasure or complexity. Flavors of lemon and blood orange finish with a sour note of underripe pineapple. | | 83 | 11 | Central Spain | Vino de la Tierra de Castilla | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Finca Salazar 2014 Sauvignon Blanc (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla) | Sauvignon Blanc | Finca Salazar |
| 3391 | 3390 | Spain | Lightly floral aromas are dilute while hinting at quince jelly. There's not a lot of vitality to the palate, while tangerine and nectarine flavors are watery. Pithy citrus notes carry the finish before it putters out. | Hoya de Cadenas Organic | 84 | 9 | Spain Other | Spain | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Vicente Gandia 2014 Hoya de Cadenas Organic Verdejo (Spain) | Verdejo | Vicente Gandia |
| 3410 | 3409 | US | This somewhat indistinctive wine has a wealth of minty aroma on the nose, a characteristic that doesn't shake off on the palate, the body full and a touch hot. | Private Reserve | 83 | 40 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Buena Vista 2013 Private Reserve Zinfandel (Sonoma County) | Zinfandel | Buena Vista |
| 3411 | 3410 | Spain | Yeasty aromas are devoid of fruit, commitment and minerality, and instead smell oddly floral and unconvincing. A waxy, wan palate and oaky flavors of clove finish with resiny, pushy spice notes. This tastes overly oaky and resiny, like the winery's Rioja white called La Capellanía but without the goods. | La Comtesse | 83 | 60 | Galicia | Rías Baixas | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Pazo de Barrantes 2012 La Comtesse Albariño (Rías Baixas) | Albariño | Pazo de Barrantes |
| 3392 | 3391 | Argentina | Tropical aromas revolve around lemon-lime. This is acidic without much body. Flavors of lemon, melon, mango and green apple are lean and finish with tangy, pithy citrus flavors. | Ampakama | 84 | 11 | Other | San Juan | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Casa Montes 2014 Ampakama Chardonnay (San Juan) | Chardonnay | Casa Montes |
| 3412 | 3411 | Portugal | The wine is fruity, although with a yeasty character that leaves a bready taste. It has acidity, ripe yellow fruits and the fruitiness may come to dominate although that is not certain. | Monsaraz Branco | 83 | 9 | Alentejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Cooperativa Reguengos de Monsaraz 2014 Monsaraz Branco White (Alentejo) | Portuguese White | Cooperativa Reguengos de Monsaraz |
| 3393 | 3392 | Spain | Bland aromas suggest applesauce. This varietal Xarello feels plump but flat. Candied, generic white-fruit flavors are nonspecific, while this offers up citrus notes and pyrazines on the finish. | XA | 84 | 14 | Catalonia | Penedès | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Albet I Noya 2014 XA Xarel-lo (Penedès) | Xarel-lo | Albet I Noya |
| 3413 | 3412 | US | There's something mushroomy and feral about this wine, which finishes with sour cherry. | The Pintail | 83 | 55 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Armanino Family Cellars 2013 The Pintail Pinot Noir (Napa Valley) | Pinot Noir | Armanino Family Cellars |
| 3414 | 3413 | Portugal | A blend of Moscatel and Arinto, this is light and thin with only the vaguest hint of citrus fruit acidity. It should be drunk now. | Castelo do Sulco Colheita | 83 | 8 | Lisboa | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Parras Vinhos 2014 Castelo do Sulco Colheita White (Lisboa) | Portuguese White | Parras Vinhos |
| 3415 | 3414 | Italy | The nose isn't very expressive but you can detect whiffs of adhesive bandage, medicinal herb, apple skin and mineral that carry over to the diluted, rather bitter palate. Brisk acidity underscores the wine's lean character. | Drago | 83 | 16 | Northeastern Italy | Trentino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Lechthaler 2014 Drago Pinot Grigio (Trentino) | Pinot Grigio | Lechthaler |
| 3416 | 3415 | US | While very flavorful, this wine is more of a dessert drink than a lunch or dinner wine. It smells sweet and earthy, feels unctous and tastes sweet, especially on the finish. | | 83 | 9 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Coast 2013 Chardonnay (California) | Chardonnay | Coast |
| 3417 | 3416 | Spain | Candied raspberry aromas and a racy, acidic, crisp feel tell you what's coming: pie-cherry tartness and then a sizzle-and-pop finish that's fresh but astringent. | Altos de Tamaron | 83 | 11 | Northern Spain | Ribera del Duero | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Pagos del Rey 2014 Altos de Tamaron (Ribera del Duero) | Tempranillo | Pagos del Rey |
| 3418 | 3417 | US | Balsamic aromas and strong pruney flavors combine for a heavy-handed taste in this full-bodied wine. It seems to be well-aged already, so drink it soon if you like this style. | England-Shaw Vienyard | 83 | 24 | California | Solano County | North Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Pat Paulsen Vineyards 2013 England-Shaw Vienyard Syrah (Solano County) | Syrah | Pat Paulsen Vineyards |
| 3419 | 3418 | US | Earthy and stemmy in dark black fruit, this wine contains 2% Syrah from Dunnigan Hills, though it's unclear how that contributes. Thin on the palate, it has a medicinal, minty flourish on the finish. | | 83 | 25 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Mossback 2013 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) | Pinot Noir | Mossback |
| 3420 | 3419 | US | Aromas of blueberries, beef roast and fudge give way to a light, straightforward palate of purple fruit. It's a clean wine, but not very complex. | Especial | 86 | 40 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Peachy Canyon 2012 Especial Zinfandel (Paso Robles) | Zinfandel | Peachy Canyon |
| 3394 | 3393 | US | From the producer's Old Vineyard Block, and blended with 20% Petite Sirah and 5% Syrah, this wine has a rustic barnyardy quality. It offers a tightness of dried herb around broad, sweet tannins, strawberry jam and chocolate. | Mountain Cuvée Estate | 84 | 24 | California | Dry Creek Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Gustafson Family 2012 Mountain Cuvée Estate Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) | Zinfandel | Gustafson Family |
| 3395 | 3394 | US | Meant to provide value, this wine also offers big oak, smoke and a bittersweet taste of black-tea tannins. Shy in fruit, this has a slightly reduced effect on the finish. | High Roller | 84 | 20 | California | Sonoma Coast | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | JAQK Cellars 2013 High Roller Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) | Pinot Noir | JAQK Cellars |
| 3396 | 3395 | US | Apple skin and guava rise out from a more buttery aroma that leads to oak on the palate. Light bodied, the wine finishes tart in lemon and lime. | Suzanne's Blend | 84 | 36 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Gracianna 2014 Suzanne's Blend Chardonnay (Russian River Valley) | Chardonnay | Gracianna |
| 3397 | 3396 | Argentina | Leafy, green aromas suggest eucalyptus and a briar patch. A lean palate offers aroma-matching flavors of green herbs along with plum, cherry and clay notes. This is oaky and resiny tasting on the finish, and hot as well. | | 84 | 20 | Mendoza Province | La Consulta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Angulo Innocenti 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (La Consulta) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Angulo Innocenti |
| 3398 | 3397 | US | This is on the light side, with simple flavors and a juicy, soft texture that shows very little tannin. Aromas and flavors recall cherries and strawberries. | | 84 | 13 | California | Lodi | Central Valley | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Cable Car 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Lodi) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Cable Car |
