Full-bodied and creamy-textured, this is something of an archetypal Australian Shiraz, loaded with berry fruit. Yet there’s also enough tar and coffee complexities to keep you coming back for sip after sip, and a long, mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2015.

Ben Riggs is the winemaker for Penny’s Hill, but this Shiraz sources fruit from Langhorne Creek as well as McLaren Vale to help keep the price under $20. It’s a lush, chocolaty Shiraz, with notes of superripe fruit—plums and blackberries—and a rich, fudge-like character that’s balanced by dusty tannins on the finish.

Racy and tart, this is more acid than fruit, with modest apple and citrus flavors and a bouquet of lime and wet stones. Try with oysters or other fresh shellfish.

Looking for a stereotypically rich, dense Australian Shiraz? Look no further. This is tooth-staining and palate-coating, yet doesn’t seem overdone at all, blending leather, coffee, blackberry and plum flavors into a creamy, rich concoction with a long, fruit-filled finish. Only 20% new oak, so the fruit dominates. Drink now–2012.
