| 58621 | 58620 | France | A dense, almost heavy wine, with smoky, licorice flavors that dominate the fruit. It is firm, big, solid, the sort of wine that demands attention with its concentration and powered structure. It may need time for aging, but already the power and weight are there. | | 93 | 125 | Burgundy | Mazis-Chambertin | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Maison Champy 2006 Mazis-Chambertin | Pinot Noir | Maison Champy |
| 58622 | 58621 | France | Spicy, smoky Lapsang Souchong tea aromas, pure acidity and juicy red plum flavors are all here in this big, but finely structured wine. The tannins are an essential part of the shape of the wine, but act as a support for its richness. The finish brings out the lively acidity of Pinot Noir. Age for five years. | Domaine du Clos Frantin | 93 | | Burgundy | Echézeaux | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Albert Bichot 2006 Domaine du Clos Frantin (Echézeaux) | Pinot Noir | Albert Bichot |
| 58623 | 58622 | France | The richness of the fruit from Caillerets is so evident in this scrumptious wine. With its big, bold black fruits, it has sweetness, a soft, generous texture and evocative perfumes. It is so delicious and ready to drink now, that even the acidity that shows through has a hard time reminding us that this wine should age as well. | Caillerets Premier Cru Ancienne Cuvée Carnot | 93 | 85 | Burgundy | Volnay | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Bouchard Père & Fils 2006 Caillerets Premier Cru Ancienne Cuvée Carnot (Volnay) | Pinot Noir | Bouchard Père & Fils |
| 58624 | 58623 | US | Relatively light in the glass, this blend of nine vineyards from up and down the coast shows savory baked plum, cardamom dust, earthy cranberry, bay leaf and smoked meat on the nose. It's medium bodied on the palate and very down-the-middle flavor-wise, with cranberry, oregano and thyme elements. | | 89 | 28 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Calera 2014 Pinot Noir (Central Coast) | Pinot Noir | Calera |

| 58628 | 58627 | Chile | Punchy citrus and minerally aromas open this fresh SB. A juicy, citric palate points in the right direction, while this tastes like tangerine and orange peel mixed with lime and green herbs. A crisp, persistent finish closes it out. | Serie Riberas Gran Reserva | 89 | 17 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Concha y Toro 2015 Serie Riberas Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Colchagua Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Concha y Toro |
| 58629 | 58628 | Chile | Aromas of mango, pineapple and petrol are pure Riesling. Plump on the palate, with citrusy acidity, this tastes of green melon, lime and tarragon. On the finish, a simple, sweet melony flavor blends into a sharper grapefruit note. | Single Vineyard Block no.23 Rulos del Alta | 89 | 20 | Bío Bío Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Cono Sur 2014 Single Vineyard Block no.23 Rulos del Alta Riesling (Bío Bío Valley) | Riesling | Cono Sur |
| 58630 | 58629 | Italy | You'll find aromas of dried orchard fruit, beeswax, Spanish broom, acacia and an earthy note on this spry nine-year-old. On the mature, waxy palate, fruit flavors have given way to tertiary sensations of honey, toasted nut, candied citrus zest and flinty mineral that carry through the to lingering finish. A saline note signals the close. | Colle dei Cerri | 89 | 45 | Southern Italy | Fiano di Avellino | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Di Meo 2007 Colle dei Cerri (Fiano di Avellino) | Fiano | Di Meo |
| 58631 | 58630 | France | The nose is very quiet but the body emanates a generosity despite its lightness. There is red-cherry fruit and a certain ampleness on a slender, fresh body. Tannins are like barely-there linens. The finish is wonderfully clean. | Réserve | 89 | 30 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Domaine Barmès-Buecher 2014 Réserve Pinot Noir (Alsace) | Pinot Noir | Domaine Barmès-Buecher |

| 58633 | 58632 | France | Plenty of wood flavors give this wine a ripe, spicy and toasty character. It is rich and perfumed, with attractive hints of yellow fruits as well as the new wood. The wood does need to calm down before the wine is ready. Drink from 2017. | | 89 | | Burgundy | Marsannay | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Sylvain Pataille 2014 Marsannay | Chardonnay | Domaine Sylvain Pataille |
| 58634 | 58633 | US | La Casita is all clone 114 and 50% whole-cluster fermented. In a year with many wines showing minimal ripeness, this breaks the mold. The forward strawberry fruit hints at sugary sweetness. Flavors are fresh and appealing, front-loaded and best for near-term consumption. | La Casita | 89 | 50 | Oregon | Dundee Hills | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Durant 2013 La Casita Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills) | Pinot Noir | Durant |
| 58635 | 58634 | US | This wine is tight and well-structured, emphasizing a good, gripping texture and firm tannins while tasty berry flavors lurk beneath. It's not something to sip at a party, but a gutsy dinner wine to pour with osso buco or mushroom risotto. | Monarch Mine Vineyard | 89 | 25 | California | Sierra Foothills | Sierra Foothills | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Easton 2013 Monarch Mine Vineyard Barbera (Sierra Foothills) | Barbera | Easton |
| 58636 | 58635 | US | Grapefruit blossoms, lime zest, lemonade and chilled green apple slices show on the fresh and citrusy nose of this bottling.

| 58640 | 58639 | Germany | Struck flint and smoke lend shade to exuberant pineapple, mango and citrus flavors in this sprightly, honey-kissed Auslese.

A fantastic bargain find. | Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese | 89 | 20 | Mosel | | | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Leonard Kreusch 2013 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese Riesling (Mosel) | Riesling | Leonard Kreusch |
| 58641 | 58640 | Spain | Although this Garnacha Blanca shows rustic, cidery aromas, it displays a balanced, layered, round palate with vital acidity. Salty, savory peach and apple flavors are true to white Garnacha, while a long, salty finish is full of energy. | | 89 | 27 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Fernández Gómez 2012 Garnacha Blanca (Rioja) | Garnacha Blanca | Fernández Gómez |
| 58642 | 58641 | Italy | Aromas of blue flower, black-skinned fruit and a whiff of Mediterranean scrub meld in the glass.

| 58645 | 58644 | US | This wine is just over half Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), with the rest Merlot (20%), Malbec (15%) and Petit Verdot.

Sullivan | @wawinereport | William Church 2013 Bishop's Red (Columbia Valley (OR)) | Red Blend | William Church |
| 58646 | 58645 | US | Pear and nectarine flesh are cut by a quince, Gala apple and slightest touches of guava and mango on the chalky nose of this wine.

| 58648 | 58647 | Germany | While a touch weightier in mouthfeel, Schloss Vollrad's standard-label bottling, this boasts the same peach and pink-grapefruit intensity that's so appealing on the Kabinett. Edged by a lacy fray of sugar, it's lip-smackingly sweet, but irresistably quaffable and neatly balanced by a streak of tangerine acidity. Drink now through 2020. | | 89 | 20 | Rheingau | | | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Schloss Vollrads 2014 Riesling (Rheingau) | Riesling | Schloss Vollrads |
