29,142	france	Still very firm and closed, this is textured and rich, with intense mineral and wood flavors that balance the steeliness. It's full bodied, taut and nervy, with a concentrated core. Age for at least four years.	Les Clos Grand Cru	92
36,549	france	This blend of Muscat and Gewurztraminer is all spiciness. It has peach freshness as well with just a touch of honey. It's immediately attractive.	Andante	84
97,729	france	For what is essentially a second wine, generally blended from the estate's younger vines, this is a solid effort in a not-so-easy vintage. Vanilla and cinnamon from barrel-aging play a role hedre, but there's also plenty of juicy, plum-tinged fruit. There's ample body and texture, capped off by supple tannins and a lingering finish. Drink now–2022.	Les Granières de la Nerthe	91
91,982	us	This is a rare, single-vineyard, 100% varietal wine from Red Mountain where Bordeaux varieties reign. It brings appealing accents of tart cherries and assorted barrel spices, including clove and vanilla. Flavors are medium bodied with a pleasing blast of tart acidity. Vanilla flavors speckle the finish.	Red Heaven Vineyard	89
31,083	italy	Delivers unexpected tones of roasted nuts, and behind the toasted notes are some tones of garden greens and artichoke leaf. It does, however, have pretty intensity in the mouth and simple spice flavors.	Rigoleto	86
29,990	us	Rich and ripe in juicy blackberries, currants and cedar, with thick tannins. But there's a sharp acidity that kicks in immediately and detracts from the mouthfeel. Drink now.	Thérèse Vineyards Lester Family Vineyards	85
699	south africa	This classic, iconic Pinotage opens with dense aromas of pressed purple violets, forest berries, raspberry sauce and fudge brownie. The lush and decadent palate offers more of the same, with a crushed velvet texture and final notes of licorice and toasted spice that linger long. It's delicious now, but should hold well through 2022.	Estate Wine	91
54,080	spain	Stalky, short aromas suggest that this is raw and underripe. The palate feel confirms that impression; it's tight and choppy, with drying tannins. Roasted, gritty flavors of red fruits come with a sprinkle of cocoa, while the finish is tough in feel, spicy and ultimately mildly bitter.	Cune Reserva	85
104,540	italy	Creamy, rich and immensely satisfying, this carefully crafted Trebbiano d'Abruzzo opens with mature notes of apricot, lemon zest, vanilla cream and pineapple. The mouthfeel is what sets its apart, however: It's decadently opulent and long-lasting.	Marina Cvetic'	91
92,996	us	Cedar dust, dried herb, currant and graphite combine effortlessly in this restrained wine, subtle in buried tannin. It shows voluptuous body with moderate acidity and a ripeness on the finish.	Estate	89
24,815	us	This single-clone cuvée really shines in 2014, with concentrated berry and cherry fruit, accented with toasty oak. The persistence and follow-through takes you down a lush flavor trail, with touches of caramel, sassafras and cola along the way.	Mirabelle Clone 115	93
63,487	us	With a clarity of fruit and minerality, this wine is brightly floral and noticeably stony, with highlights of melon, lemon and green apple.	Unoaked	90
121,366	portugal	Named after the local vineyards, this wine is a firm and structured blend of two French grapes. It still has a Portuguese character with its rich, juicy black fruits and dense structure. With good acidity on the finish, it is ready to drink.	Terras do Pó Syrah-Petit Verdot	87
126,944	us	Heavy, sweet and super-oaky, like a liquid infusion of buttered popcorn, pineapple jam and vanilla meringue. Will appeal to many, but purists will find it heavy-handed and manipulated.	Proximus	84
9,779	argentina	Since we last tried this wine, Catena has dialed back the new oak and pumped up the natural acidity. And the result is pleasantly akin to fine Burgundy. Now the emphasis is on refined, Dijon-style apple and peach flavors with great mouthfeel. Drink now.	Catena Alta	92
71,956	us	The nose is subdued, with aromas of crisp red plum, herb and bramble; but the palate is lush, with loads of ripe strawberry, peach and cherry flavors. This is dry in style but soft and juicy on the palate.	Rosé	87
75,607	hungary	This clean, dry white begins with aromas of spicy lemon and orange, leading in to flavors of lemon, orange rind and pepper. Light and mild, it's a simple but versatile food wine. Think grilled seafood, elegant cheeses.	Dry	85
87,597	spain	This is perfectly welcoming and complex upfront, with dried raspberry, leather and light herb aromas. It feels stylish and layered, with flavors of berry, earth and integrated oak. Classy and smooth on the finish, drink this now–2020.	Conde de Valdemar Gran Reserva	90
