Truth be told, the difference in quality between this wine and the $125 Graveyard Vineyard bottling doesn’t appear that great, so savvy consumers should jump on this Shiraz, which offers leather, coffee and roasted meat complexity allied to medium body, a creamy texture and a long, firmly structured finish. Drink 2015-2025.

The heart of this Semillon is bony and minerally; barely ripe peach flavors and a green-apple finish completes the flavor profile. Lightly petillant in the mouth, with a burst of Sweet Tart on palate entry. It’s a pleasing, refreshing white. Imported by Click Wine Group.

This is quite a hodgepodge of a red—one with Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc and Shiraz—but boy, is it tasty. Svelte in size, there’s a briary-earthy component (wheat toast, smooth wood, earth, you name it) through and through, with firm red plum fruit flavors. With good hold on the midpalate, this reasonably priced red could easily go another couple of years. Imported by Click Wine Group.

Starts off with cherry, cedar and slightly mushroomy aromas, delivering more of the same on the palate. This nicely concentrated wine is medium-bodied and shows some tannin and crisp acids on the finish. That said, opt for drinking it over the near term.

A spitfire of a Shiraz. High-toned blackberry and black cherry flavors have undertones of coffee and mocha. As nice as the flavors and aromas of fresh earth and cola are, the acids stick out some, giving the palate a prickly feel. Would easily have reached the next decile otherwise.

Smells smoldering but sweetish, a combo of roasted meat and very ripe berries. The palate’s texture is chalky, the tannins soft; the wine’s berry fruit swathed in loads of bitter chocolate. Warm overall. Finishes with a nutty note. Imported by Click Wine Group.

Fresh, clean aromas of Asian pear and citrus lead the way, followed up by similar flavors on the palate. It’s crisp and citrusy from start to long, tart finish. Not terribly complex at this young age, it should add layers of toast and spice with age.

Dark hints of charred oak and cola accent bright berry aromas, while the palate is marked by bold berry and black cherry flavors and a whack of vanilla. It’s a medium-bodied red that comes across as a bit hard-edged because of its acidity despite having rather soft tannins. Drink now.

Although based in the Hunter, Brokenwood has reached into South Australia for this Shiraz, which offers lifted, rather perfumed aromas of raspberries and strawberries supported by vanilla underpinnings. A hint of mint creeps in on the finish, framed by supple tannins and crisp acidity. Drink now-2015.
