Haan 2004 Hanenhof Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
An outstanding value, this wine bursts from the glass with spice, herb and brambly shadings that are nicely complex and true to the grape variety. It’s not just a fruit-filled wine, but one that offers a panopoly of briary, brambly fruit alongside plenty of spice and a meaty, sauvage component. It’s round and lush in the mouth, finishing spicy and long, with…

Haan 2002 Hanenhof Red (Barossa Valley)
- $20
This is one pretty wine, with powdery tannins and a medium-sized body. The nose offers vanilla and blueberry-blackberry aromas. On the palate, there’s a baseline of coffee, or cappuccino, with a fan of berry flavors. However sweet or cloying these descriptors make this wine sound, it really isn’t. A blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc…

Haan 2004 Wilhelmus Red (Barossa Valley)
- $48
The five classic Bordeaux varieties find new expression in this Barossan blend. It’s cherry-scented and cheerful, with hints of raspberry and vanilla to keep it interesting. With its creamy, supple tannins and mouthwatering finish, this seems likely to be best now through 2012.

Haan 2004 Hanenhof Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc Red (Barossa Valley)
- $20
A potentially polarizing wine, with enough black cherry and cassis fruit and a creamy, supple texture, but also with strong greenish overtones of eucalyptus or mint, even a touch of green pea. Picks up cedar, vanilla and coffee shadings on the finish. Drink now.

Haan 2004 Prestige Merlot (Barossa Valley)
- $48
Merlot in the Barossa can be a tricky proposition, but this bottling successfully juxtaposes superripe, chocolate fudge notes with surprisingly tart acids. Hints of licorice, vanilla and black cherries impart complexity, while creamy tannins and crisp acids mark the finish. Drink now–2012.

Haan 2005 Hanenhof Merlot-Cabernet Franc (Barossa Valley)
- $22
This comes out of the bottle a bit tarry and rubbery, so splash it around in a decanter a bit if you get the chance. You’ll be rewarded by Cabernet Franc’s trademark leafy aromas set off by Merlot’s background of plum and chocolate. Tannins are ultrasmooth, so there’s no need to age this; drink now–2010.

Haan 2003 Estate Wine Viognier (Barossa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
The nose is the best part: honeycomb, and some flowers. But flavors of butter, bitter herb and flowers, and a very oily mouthfeel, make this marginal at best.
