This wine may lack a bit of power, but it makes up for it with its stylish shadings of white peaches and understated notes of toasted hazelnuts. At a price point where many Australian Chardonnays lack nuance and delicacy, this one delivers.

For the realistic price, this does offer surprisingly authentic Pinot Noir character, blending cinnamon and mushroom notes with cherry fruit. It’s lightweight but pretty—a charming, elegant red that would pair well with salmon or chicken dishes.

This doesn’t measure up to the winery’s surprisingly good Pinot Noir, but still offers enough sour plum, pie cherry and mocha notes to warrant commendation. It’s rather light in body, with a tart edge to the finish.

From a higher elevation—and hence cooler—region of Australia, this is a light to medium-bodied Cabernet that avoids excessive leanness, offering up a mélange of plump cassis, leather and tobacco. It’s not the most powerful Cab, but offers elegance and length at an affordable price.

Spice and herb aromas usher in grapefruit, then tropical fruit flavors on the palate. Soft in the mouth; a good casual quaffer. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

One of the better inexpensive Oz Merlots I’ve had lately. This wine offers spicy, fireplace-smoke aromas and cool-cherry undertones on the palate. It doesn’t hit you over the head with tannins and it’s not one for the cellar, but it’s a good wine, and light enough, even, to enjoy with lunch. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.

A thick, fat Gris. This version offers abundant peaches and apricots, spiced with some ginger, on both the nose and the palate. Pleasing and sunny; a good, food-friendly choice. Imported by Guardian of the Grape Imports.
