O’Leary Walker – Clare Valley/McLaren Vale (Shiraz) 2004
Normally I am not a fan of the younger wines, prefering some age in them, but for some reason this drop resonates well with me. Plenty of fruit, hints of wood, but a depth that is surprising not at all…

Penfolds – St Henri Shiraz (1999)
St Henri is my benchmark for wines, many thanks to Andrew who first gave me a bottle of the 1997 vintage. The 1999 while not as good as the ’97 is a damn fine wine, it is essential that this…

Yarra Burn – Pinot Noir (2001)
This drop, while in and of itself is not all that horrible, it has confirmed to me that I do not like wines made from Pinot. They seem too superficial with the fruitiness being nice and strong, but it is…

Brokenwood – Shiraz (2002)
McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Beechworth the grapes from this passable Shiraz hail from. Together in the bottle and oak a decently spicy with fruity hints seem to remain. While its not something to rave over, it is enjoyable and goes…

Majella (Coonawarra) – Cabernet (2001)
This is one nice Cabernet, its earthy, deep even somewhat mushroomy with hints of bite. It would go well with almost any mediterranean food, or even standard european continental food. At 30-40 a bottle its not cheap, but well worth…
