This Barossa Shiraz eschews the superripe character found in many from the region in favor of a more balanced, Rhône-ish approach. There’s a base of raspberry and vanilla sweetness, but also lots of herbal and spice complexity—notably cracked pepper and black olives. Has enough soft tannins to suggest drinking now–2018.

For a Barossa Chardonnay, this is surprisingly understated, with pear, pineapple and toasted cereal notes giving an elegant impression. Drink now, as it fades a bit on the finish.

This wine is much more convincing than Jenke’s 2005 Cabernet, reinforcing the concept that Barossa Cab typically performs better in cooler years (2002 was the coolest on record). It’s still broad and mouthfilling, but the plum and cassis flavors stay this side of overripe, buttressed by plenty of smoke, vanilla and spice. Long and savory on the finish. Drink now–2015.

An intriguing wine, this boasts herbal-, tobacco- and truffle-laced aromatics backed by a modicum of cassis fruit and a wonderfully soft, creamy, supple texture. The flavors also veer dangerously close to vegetal, so if you insist on no green notes in your Cab, search somewhere else.

This is 100% Cabernet Franc, which has yielded a wine with modest berry aromas and flavors. It’s plump and a touch oily in texture, finishing with faint hints of chocolate and fresh herbs.

Boasting thick layers of roasted fruit, this is weighty--verging on syrupy--rendition of Barossa Shiraz. Coffee and cola aromas give way to flavors of pruny fruit, spice and meat, finshing soft. Impressive in its idiom, but likely not to all palates. Imported by 34th Parallel, LLC.
