Shottesbrooke 2000 Eliza Reserve Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- $30
The mint and eucalyptus aromas are always an indication that you are about to consume a quality wine. Along with the blackberry and cocoa flavors there is a rich, juicy mouthfeel with firm tannins, then bright acidity to clean everything up. Approachable now but will last until 2010. —C.S.

D'Arenberg 2000 The Dead Arm Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- $65
This wine gets its name from a vine fungus that kills off part of the vine. The vine gets pruned back, which leads to small berries and low yields; this concentrates the intense, fleshy blue-black fruit flavors. There is a rich, juicy feel to the wine, which has firm but well-integrated tannins. —C.S.

Dried oak and barnyard aromas led to more juicy than fleshy flavors of red raspberries. Could have used more depth and structure, but an enjoyable wine nonetheless. —C.S.

Arnaldo Caprai 1998 Venticinque Anni 25 Sagrantino (Sagrantino di Montefalco)
- Cellar Selection
- $88
Wonderful aromas are of cedar, earth and leather. The flavors are intense black plums and dark chocolate. The tannins are huge but the fruit and complexity will still be there when they soften. This wine needs some time: drink 2005–2015. Cellar Selection. —C.S.
