Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep red. Deep, brooding aromas of creme de cassis, blackberry, bitter chocolate and anise. Quite ripe and dark in character, with flavors of sweet dark berries, roasted coffee, fruitcake and molasses. Finishes quite rich, with dusty tannins. Blackberry and bitter chocolate flavors deepen as the wine opens in the glass.

Yalumba

Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra

The Menzies

Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright and juicy. A big mouthful of red berry and black currant fruit, with a real transparency to the flavors, which pick up hints of cardamom and bay leaf on the expressive finish. Best from 2009 through 2015. 400 cases imported. –HS

2005

$42.99

Hewitson

McLaren Vale

The Mad Hatter

Syrah

Dense ruby. Wild, floral and sweet on the nose, with expansive, pure aromas of raspberry, kirsch, violet and mocha. Broad and supple, the dark berry flavors showing excellent concentration and lifted by bright acidity. Really stains the palate and chewy finish with pomegranate molasses and strong dark berry liqueur tones.

Mitolo

McLaren Vale

G.A.M

Shiraz

The 2006 Shiraz “G.A.M.” (the initials of the Mitolo children) was aged in French and American oak, 60% new. Opaque purple in color, it has an aromatic array of roasted coffee, violets, lavender, pepper, Asian spices, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. In the mouth it is velvety-textured, deep, concentrated, opulent, and altogether hedonistic. It will evolve for 5-7 years and drink well through 2026.

Burge Family

Barossa Valley

Draycott

Shiraz

Ripe and supple, showing a distinct black pepper note running through the rich cherry and sweet leather flavors, with the fruit lingering on the plush finish. Rich without being over the top. Best from 2009 through 2017. 490 cases made.

d''Arenberg

"The Dead Arm" Shiraz

McLaren Vale South Australia

Shiraz

D’Arenberg’s most famous wine is its flagship, The Dead Arm Shiraz. The 2005 The Dead Arm Shiraz is sourced from ancient head-pruned vines. It was aged for 22 months in a mix of new and used French and American oak. It is opaque purple/black with an expansive perfume of toast, smoke, spice box, mineral, pencil lead, tar, licorice, blueberry, and blackberry. Full-bodied, opulent, and super-concentrated, this structured, lengthy wine will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and drink well through 2025.

Clarendon Hills

Brookman Vineyard

Merlot

"Plush, intense and vivid in flavor, this is aromatic with herbal cherry and currant character, leading into ripe fruit that''s balanced with creamy, spicy, chocolate-tinged oak notes. A wine of great presence and length. Powerful, but not even close to being over the top. Drink now through 2015. 500 cases imported."

Clarendon Hills

Bakers Gully Vineyard

$59.99

John Duval Entity

Barossa Valley

$65.00

d'Arenberg

McLaren Vale

The Dead Arm Shiraz

Syrah

Saturated violet. Pungent tobacco- and espresso-laced cherry, cassis and blackberry aromas, with a hint of mocha. Beautiful dark berry, vanilla and Indian spice flavors expand and gain sweetness with air. The lushly tannic finish positively explodes with sweet raspberry and mulberry flavors, with dark chocolate and exotic blood orange notes adding a vibrant quality. An impressive return to form for d'Arenberg's flagship red.

Leeuwin Estate

Art Series Margaret River

Chardonnay

Light gold. Intensely mineral aromas of iodine-accented peach, melon, anise, marzipan and nougat. Lush, expansive and powerful stone fruit and melon flavors really stain the palate, picking up licorice and citrus pith notes on the back. This is more linear and taut than a bottle of the superb 2002 showed recently, and has the balance to reward at least six years of cellaring. It seems to have more energy, too. As usual, one of the best Australian chardonnays of the year.
