Black plum fruit on the palate shares the spotlight with a meaty, stably flavor—the same note that I found on the nose. It’s a straightforward wine, but a much different sort from other lollipop-styled ones that you’ll find at this price point. Imported by Epic Wines.

A nice effort in drink-now Cabernet, with a soft, velvety texture that enhances the wine’s prominent notes of cinnamon, clove, mocha and plum. Lingers nicely on the finish.

On the crisper end of the Australian Chardonnay spectrum, featuring hints of lemon curd and passion fruit backed by apple. Drink now.

White pepper and nut aromas on the nose are light, but the apple, citrus and toast flavors in the mouth are present, in full force. Generously oaked on the finish; a straightforward, good wine.

Shows decent weight and mouthfeel, along with aromas of yellow plums and citrusy flavors, just finishes a little too short and too tart to rate higher.

The nose here is on the subtle side for a Viognier, with tones of macadamia and vanilla wafers. Meanwhile, the palate is vibrant and refreshing, with orange flower and musk accents, winding down to a limoncello finish. The lush texture of this wine suggests serving as an apéritif. Drink now.

For 14.5% alcohol, this is restrained, with modest flavors of black cherries and cinnamon and a finish that falls away rapidly.

New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is the leading imported wine in Australia, which has led domestic wineries to redouble their efforts at the variety. This bargain-priced example features fig and citrus notes underscored by a slight herbaceousness, even some red currant flavors. It's round in the mouth without being overly broad, ending with mouthwatering citrus flavors. Drink now.

Can't fault the pricing on this full-bodied Merlot out of Victoria. Vanilla and toast shadings accent cassis and mint aromas, before the fruit turns just slightly overripe and raisiny on the palate. Still, there's a velvety texture and richness to the finish that's often lacking in wines at this price.

This is a simple, crisp seafood-ready white, lean without being angular. Green apple, honey and clover-blossom aromas yield to grassy, field-fresh flavors backed by pervasive notes of white grapefruit.
