Clonakilla 2005 Shiraz-Viognier (Canberra District)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $61

Wonderfully fruity, complex and elegant, with red berries and stone fruits underscored by peppery, herbal notes. Firmly structured, this should age up to 10 years. — J.C. (6/1/2007)

Clonakilla 2002 Command Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Online Exclusive

Creamy and intense, with layers of smoke and vanilla over blackberry fruit. Long, with soft tannins. — J.C. (6/1/2007)

Clonakilla 2006 Hilltops Shiraz (Hilltops)

Online Exclusive

Price $26

It’s not Clonakilla’s top-of-the-line Shiraz-Viognier, but it’s still darn good, and in its savory notes of tapenade, leather and peppery spice, it provides a nice alternative to common fruit-driven Shiraz. On the palate, this is beefy and potent, with some supporting blueberry fruit, a creamy texture and a long, spicy finish. Drink now-2020. — J.C. (2/1/2010)

Clonakilla 2003 Shiraz (Hilltops)

Price $25

Though the aromas and flavors are really nice, this wine’s flat, woody feel keeps it from being as excellent as it could be. It starts off with black olive and eucalyptus on the nose, and brings black cherry, plum, herb and eucalyptus on the palate. Good acids; an even, balanced wine. Imported by USA Wine West. — D.T.

Clonakilla 1999 Shiraz (Langhorne Creek)

Price $19

A very odd bouquet, yet we could not turn our noses away from Clonakilla’s strong eucalyptus, yard mulch and tobacco aromas. Dark coffee, earth, ash and sour blackberry flavors comprise a “complex, but funky” palate, which, by the way, has just about the smoothest mouthfeel of any wine we’ve had in the past month. Bottom line? So strange that you’re best off… — W.E. (10/1/2001)
