A rustic-feeling wine with black cherries and plums at the fore; gummy, chewy tannins in the mouth and juicy plum and blackberry aromas complete the package. A very nice wine, and a good introduction to how nice Adelaide Hills reds can be.

This blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc is a clean, refreshing quaff. Filled with passion fruit and gooseberry notes, it’s simple, fruity and goes down easy.

Mixed plums, black cherries and white pepper aromas are a good sign of what’s to come on the palate: Fresh, powerful plum fruit, plus oak that grows more obvious toward the finish. Still, you won’t be able to resist the yummy, bouncy fruit. Makes a good case for big reds in Adelaide Hills.

A light, simple wine with red fruit and a body that’s not unlike Beaujolais. Raspberry, plum and oak flavor it; oak is what hangs around on the finish. Sweet vanilla-butterscotch aromas on the nose.

What your preteen daughters would drink if they could: it's a light pink wine, ultrafeminine, with a frothy, moussey mouthfeel that will bring to mind stuffed animals and baby dolls—everything blush-colored and innocent. Cherry flavors and aromas, through and through. Firms up on the finish.

Aromas are of cherry and ginger; salmon-copper in color. What you get on the palate follows suit: light cherry and peach flavors, packaged in a medium-bodied sparkler that is soft on palate entry and grows crisper and more tangy toward the finish. Pleasantly perplexing in that it manages to feel both fragile and forceful.

A feminine-boned, elegant style of Cab—you’ll think “Old World” in body, but it’s definitely New World in flavor. Black cherry, plum and even a little raspberry show on the palate, and on through the finish, where there’s some stayingpower. Offers compelling pastry dough, red fruit and eucalyptus on the nose.

If more Merlot tasted like this, maybe winegeeks would stop looking down their noses at it. This is a creamy, lush wine, filled with hints of mocha, vanilla, black cherry and plum that swirl together into a long, fruit-filled finish. Drink now.

Difficult to warm up to, this wine starts off on the wrong foot by offering up onion or garlic aromas, then compounds that with ungiving flavors of hard melon. It’s too bad, because the mouthfeel is suitably rich and oily in the style of an Austrian or Collio Sauvignon.

The bouquet is deep, condensed and full of vanilla and berry syrup. The flavors, however, are a bit candied, and the finish offers just more of the same. And while it’s thick and tasty, it is also loaded with lemony wood notes, most likely from American oak. —M.S.
