Round, overt aromas of plum fruit, cedar and putty prepare you for a wine that’s more brash than this one is. It’s a slimmer-sized Pinot, the cedar and plum notes still present on the palate but taking second billing to a nice, rocky-minerally feel that lasts on the finish. Imported by Marquee Selections.

Light to medium in body, this red-fruited Shiraz is a bit simple, but offers extremely fruity, cherry-berry flavors. It verges on confected, then turns crisp on the finish.

A crisp wine, but not one with demonstrative fruit. There are pear, anise and floral aromas, with firm pear fruit and a talc-powder presence that lends as much flavor as it does texture.

From Cleveland Winery in Victoria, this Chard shows butter and burnt sugar aromas. On the palate, there is light butter and talc flavors, and a powdery textured finish. Wants more stuffing in the middle.

This Merlot doesn’t live up to Pfeiffer’s excellent sweet wines. It does have a smooth, claylike feel, particularly on the finish, but the baked-fruitcake aromas and flavors aren’t as enjoyable. Imported by American Wine Distributors.

Smells like citrus and peach, with a cottony-vanilla overlay. Citrus stays the course on the palate, but the flavors are halfhearted, and the feel soft. But Marquee’s sleek new packaging is quite nice. Imported by Marquee Selections.

Taste this blind with friends, and place big bets: This wine's not likely to be identified as Australian, or New World at all, for that matter. Smells earthy, with iron accents that reminded me of mature Chianti. Ditto for the flavors: Stout cherry fruit, brown earth and some rustic oak. Very good, but not at all what you're expecting. 1,500 cases produced.

Starts off with understated apple and pear aromas, then adds some peach flavors to the mix. It’s medium-bodied, with a touch of canned-fruit flavors on the finish.

Sticky, syrupy and full-bodied, but still not cloying, by any means. Smells of orange peel, cardamom and caraway seeds, and has more orange, plus honey, hay and meat flaovrs on the palate. As busy as it sounds, it has some delicacy, too, with shortcake flavors taking over midpalate and running hand-in-hand with honey through the finish.

Butterscotch and some noticeable alcohol on the nose; the palate has butterscotch, then a flash of peach and citrus, then chocolate-cherry candy. Smooth and unctuous, but not superrich. A nice-sized wine for folks who are afraid of big stickies.
