14.3 | Red | US | Chewy and tannic, this young wine is dense and a bit stiff. Black fruits, espresso and cacao combine to accent the dark flavors.

14.4 | Red | US | Rob Stuart's most affordable Pinot opens with toasty, chocolatey aromas that lead into pretty fruit flavors of berry and cherry. It's balanced throughout, medium bodied, and quite pleasurable. | Vignette | 35 | 90 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | R.

16.5 | Red | Italy | Underbrush, prune, leather, French oak and mocha aromas slowly shape the nose. The bold palate doles out steeped plum, dried black cherry, vanilla and a confectionery note alongside fine-grained tannins. It closes on the warmth of alcohol. | Ripa della Volta | 80 | 90 | Veneto | Amarone della Valpolicella | null | Ottella 2013 Ripa della Volta (Amarone della Valpolicella) | https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/ottella-2013-ripa-della-volta-amarone-della-valpolicella-307621/ | Red Blend | 2,013 | Ottella |
