14.5 | Red | US | Meaty, big-boned and steeped in both woody oak and tannin, this is a brawny full-bodied wine with ample concentration.

14 | White | South Africa | Faint aromas of fresh honeycomb and beeswax set the stage of this wine's bouquet, with notes of lightly grilled red apple, straw, dried orange rind and a touch of whole sweet spice following suit.

13 | Red | New Zealand | This is on the lighter end of the Pinot spectrum. There's quite a bit of cinnamon and stalky characters here, but notes of strawberry and rhubarb are bright as well. Violet and white pepper notes add to the mix. The stalkiness continues on the palate, which is wispy and delicate, showing less in the way of oak and more in the way of crisp fruit and dried leaves. | Rimapere | 45 | 90 | Marlborough | null | null | Baron Edmond de Rothschild 2016 Rimapere Pinot Noir (Marlborough) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/baron-edmond-de-rothschild-2016-rimapere-pinot-noir-marlborough/ | Pinot Noir | 2,016 | Baron Edmond de Rothschild |

149 | Red | US | This wine is a blend of fruit from Woodward Canyon Estate, Champoux, Sagemoor and Spring Creek vineyards. Despite seeing just 50% new oak, aromas of baking spice and vanilla are at the fore at present, in front of notes of herb and cherry. The palate brings a suave feel, with a lovely sense of texture, dipping in the middle before coming back together. The oak influence is intense right now. Give it time to settle in. Best after 2023. | Artist Series #24 | 59 | 91 | Washington | Washington Other | Washington | Woodward Canyon 2015 Artist Series #24 Cabernet Sauvignon (Washington) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/woodward-canyon-2015-artist-series-24-cabernet-sauvignon-washington-307939/ | Cabernet Sauvignon | 2,015 | Woodward Canyon |
13.5 | Red | US | An historic vineyard, originally planted in 1970, provided these grapes. This is lightly spicy, with a flavorful mix of blood orange, rhubarb, strawberry and a hint of butter.

14.1 | Red | Canada | A solid strength here and throughout eastern British Columbia, this varietally-specific wine builds upon compact black cherry fruit.

14.8 | Red | Canada | Along with their Cabernet Franc, Syrah is the standout at Vanessa. Its pungent mix of cured meat, roasted coffee, black fruits, iron filings and beef jerky somehow place it in the same organoleptic range as Syrahs from the Rocks District in Walla Walla. This was co-fermented with 10% Viognier, to good effect. | null | 35 | 91 | British Columbia | Similkameen Valley | null | Vanessa 2014 Syrah (Similkameen Valley) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/vanessa-2014-syrah-similkameen-valley/ | Syrah | 2,014 | Vanessa |

14 | White | Austria | The nose evokes the aroma of very ripe, golden pear. There even is a tropical edge of passion fruit. The palate tones this down into citrus freshness, bundled into a textured vein of yeastiness. The passion fruit stays until the finish. | Ried Kirchengarten Reserve | 46 | 91 | Weinviertel | null | null | Setzer 2017 Ried Kirchengarten Reserve Grüner Veltliner (Weinviertel) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/setzer-2017-ried-kirchengarten-reserve-gruner-veltliner-weinviertel/ | Grüner Veltliner | 2,017 | Setzer |

14.9 | Red | Argentina | Ripe berry and fig aromas come with oak-based vanilla, cedar and tobacco notes. This Malbec-led blend is full and saturated on the palate, with measurable core acidity.

13.5 | Red | US | Fruit for this wine comes from Red Willow (52%) and Upland vineyards, with a dash of 5% Viognier capping it off.

14 | Red | South Africa | There's a gamy, animal edge to this wine, with aromas of barnyard and cured meat that sit atop the dark core of blackberry, black cherry and plum notes. It's bold and gripping on the palate, with firm, drying tannins and a tight structure that suggests this needs a bit more time to mellow and harmonize.

The palate then spreads with crushed blackberry fruit and wonderfully dense tannins that crunch pleasantly into soft velvet. A muscular, bold but still completely elegant red with wonderful nuances of spice and a firm structure.

14.5 | Red | Argentina | Earthy blackberry aromas are intense, deep and softened by a note of oak-based vanilla. On the palate, this high-end Petit Verdot is full bodied, with firm tannins. Creamy berry and cassis flavors are overtly but nicely oaked, while savory spice and game notes add complexity to a black-fruit finish. Drink this fine example of varietal PV through 2022. | Mini Ediciones Remolinos Vineyard | 39 | 93 | Mendoza Province | Agrelo | null | Finca Decero 2014 Mini Ediciones Remolinos Vineyard Petit Verdot (Agrelo) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/finca-decero-2014-mini-ediciones-remolinos-vineyard-petit-verdot-agrelo/ | Petit Verdot | 2,014 | Finca Decero |
13.8 | Red | US | This wine has high-toned fruit and underlying brightness, melding the two complementary sides within a context of integrated oak and thick tannin. Citrus, rhubarb and pomegranate provide a tartness of lingering fruit dipped in light Asian spice. This is the producer's first vintage. | null | 47 | 91 | California | Sonoma | Bennett Valley | Zeka 2015 Pinot Noir (Bennett Valley) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/zeka-2015-pinot-noir-bennett-valley-308422/ | Pinot Noir | 2,015 | Zeka |
13.5 | Red | US | The fruit here seems carved in rock—perhaps the volcanic soils speaking through the grapes. The cranberry, raspberry and tart cherry flavors remain firm and tangy. Then, in the glass and on the palate, the wine softens up a bit as it rolls into a smooth lightly chocolatey finish. | Crawford Beck Vineyard | 65 | 91 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Eola-Amity Hills | Alexana 2016 Crawford Beck Vineyard Pinot Noir (Eola-Amity Hills) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/alexana-2016-crawford-beck-vineyard-pinot-noir-eola-amity-hills/ | Pinot Noir | 2,016 | Alexana |
14 | Red | France | A rich wine from this ripe year, this has concentration from the 45-year-old vines and spice from the wood aging. It is packed with black fruits. The wine, with its fresh final fruitiness, will be ready to drink from 2019. | Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup | 27 | 91 | Beaujolais | Fleurie | null | Domaine de Leyre-Loup 2015 Réserve Louis Leyre-Loup (Fleurie) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/domaine-de-leyre-loup-2015-reserve-louis-leyre-loup-fleurie/ | Gamay | 2,015 | Domaine de Leyre-Loup |
