Broad on the nose with a pretty dried-spice aroma. Texture is pulpy and chewy, with tangy oak on the finish. A good wine, but one that is missing a deeper layer.

This starts off a little reductive, with tarry, burnt-rubber aromas that are frankly offputting. But a aeration works wonders, and this wine opens up to reveal hints of toasted almonds, melon and citrus, all supported by a crisp finish. Imported by American Wine Distributors.

This may be a bit difficult to find as only 25 cases (out of 3,500) were imported, but those lucky enough to stumble across some should snap up this outstanding bargain. Smoky, toasty, vanilla notes frame ample peach and citrus flavors, finishing with good length and intensity. Imported by American Wine Distributors.

An easy-to-drink Shiraz that boasts mixed-berry aromas accented by touches of woodsmoke and cinnamon. It’s medium in body and amply endowed with blackberry flavors that finish crisp and tangy. Drink now and over the next few years.

Oddly confected on the nose, with cotton candy-like cherry aromas, but once past that, this isn’t bad wine, even if it’s not really varietally correct. It’s round in the mouth but with crisp acids, giving it a hard-edged feel, while the flavors are less candied and more like black cherries and chocolate.

Lavishly oaked but with enough fruit concentration to bring fresh lime zest and green apple aromas to the front. Full-bodied, with a citrus juiciness that trails off to a mineral edge. Drink now.
