Currency Creek Estate 2003 Ostrich Hill Shiraz (Currency Creek)

Price $17

A lighter-sized Shiraz, this one features red berry and cherry in abundance on the palate, but flattens out to a dusty, woody finish. Aromas run the gamut from black pepper and sweet raspberry to floral notes, then rhubarb and tomato. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group. — D.T. (12/31/2005)

Currency Creek Estate 2004 The Viaduct Unwooded Chardonnay (Currency Creek)

Price $14

This wine has a nice feel—it tastes like it’s coated in a thick layer of attic dust, the way some good Champagnes do—with apple and melon fruit below. What I can’t get by is a strong lactic-buttery aroma (no really, it smells like a stick of butter), which lets up some on the palate. Finishes on a sour-apple lollipop note. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group. — D.T. (12/1/2005)

Currency Creek Estate 2005 Sedgeland Sauvignon Blanc (Currency Creek)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

Has light aromas of soy or saline, coupled with dust and mineral flavors. Medium-weight and good, but there’s not much verve here. — D.T. (6/1/2006)

points

Currency Creek Estate 2003 The Black Swamp Cabernet Sauvignon (Currency Creek)

Price $17

Smells like demiglace, earth and tree. On the palate, it’s twangy, and not very well integrated: A filmy layer of oak hovers over cursory plum fruit. Simple, one-dimensional. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group. — D.T. (12/31/2005)
