Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An intriguing wine. Shows some very positive aromas and flavors including spice, earth, black pepper, cinnamon and clove. However, a prominent grapefruit/cranberry element on both the nose and in the mouth is disarming. Shows good mouthfeel and balance. A very different take on Shiraz.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Scents of smoke, green vegetables and pungent grasses; flavors of pink grapefruit and green pepper. It’s a little soft, yet green-tasting at the same time.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A full, rich, woody style that emphasizes toast, vanilla and butter. Imagine sliced peaches doused in melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar. Finishes thick and oily.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Somewhat weedy on the nose; then shows a lot of overripe cherries on the palate, along with baking spices like clove and cinnamon. Soft and pleasantly chewy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sourced from the cool-climate regions of Margaret River and Mount Barker, this full-bodied Shiraz boasts plenty of peppery aromas, but also eucalyptus, sour cherry and dill. Shows more leather and caramel on the palate, finishing with soft, dusty tannins.

Sandalford Shiraz - 1998

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
It’s toasty from 17 months in French oak, but the wood is well balanced by cassis and the nose picks up some lovely hints of anise with air. Straightforward black-currant and vanilla flavors flow smoothly across the tongue. Soft tannins and low acidity make this a Cab that’s meant to be enjoyed now. Editors’ Choice.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This peach- and pear-scented wine was bottled with screw caps so you needn’t fear TCA. Baking spices accent simple peach and pear flavors in this medium-weight Riesling. Finishes dry and stony.
