May. 16, 2013: HAMILTON RUSSELL Chardonnay Hemel-en-Aarde Valley 2011 (93 points, $32)

This white cuts a bold swath, delivering flavors of dried Jonagold apple, fig, creamed pear, hazelnut and persimmon. Creamy and lush, held together by a finely beaded spine of acidity, with strong minerality kicking in on the lengthy finish. Showy and suave, yet balanced. Drink now through 2018. 6,208 cases made. —James Molesworth

May. 15, 2013: QUINTA DO CRASTO Douro Reserva Old Vines 2010 (93 points, $47)

This red is luscious, refined and muscular, showing good cut to the creamy, well-spiced flavors. An intense midpalate of cocoa powder carries through to the finish, which features accents of hoisin sauce and plum pudding. Drink now through 2020. 10,000 cases made. —Kim Marcus

May. 14, 2013: JC CELLARS Zinfandel Sonoma Valley Iron Hill Vineyard 2010 (92 points, $35)

Bold, jammy and a bit exotic, with aromas of black raspberry and smoky brown baking spices. The texture is ripe and fleshy and the flavors are jammed with cherry pie, licorice and pepper. Drink now through 2020. 100 cases made. —Tim Fish

May. 13, 2013: FATTORIA DELLA TALOSA Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2008 (92 points, $39)
