This is mainly Shiraz, with only 20–25% Grenache, and it acts more like a Shiraz than a blend, offering up aromas of blueberries, tar and roasted meats. Hints of mint, vanilla and cedar complete the picture. Dense and thickly textured, it should drink well over the next 5–7 years.

A blend of 75% Shiraz and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is the rechristened Godolphin, renamed because of a trademark conflict. Mint and tobacco notes frame the lush chocolaty layers of dark fruit—mainly cassis. Long and wonderfully supple on the finish. Drink now–2020.

A blend of 80% Shiraz and 20% Cabernet, this rich, almost Port-like wine also shows a slight herbal note—enough to give it some lift and complexity. It’s inky black in color, imbued with layers of dark fruit so deep they threaten to suck you in before being lightened ever so slightly by hints of vanilla and spice. Long and lush on the finish. Drink now–2015.

Shows a slightly lifted, peppery character on the nose, but also plenty of toasty oak and bold fruit. Loads of blackberries, blueberries and chocolate cascade over the palate, accented with enough spice and warmth to leave a fleeting impression of fruitcake. Lush and long on the finish. Drink now–2020 or beyond.

From a single vineyard in the Ebenezer region, this is simply stupendous stuff. It is a bit Port-like in its rich layers of blackberry fruit, but it also displays great freshness and drive, giving it a juicy, fresh fruit character that’s accented even more by dustings of pepper and dried spices. A beautiful marriage of drinkability and ageability; drink now–2020.

Sweetly fragrant, with hints of white pepper and stone fruit that veer toward cherries and spice on the palate. The silky texture is a treat, with just enough tart acidity on the finish for balance. Drink now–2010.

This could use a year or two in the cellar, as right now the wine is a little toughly textured, despite showing ample body and weight. Green peppercorn notes accent cherry fruit, picking up a hint of tea leaves on the finish.
