Generously endowed, this is a surprisingly strong effort for the price, offering vanilla, toast, peach and melon aromas and flavors. It’s broad, it’s oaky, it’s ripe—what more do you want for $7?

A soft, easy-drinking Cabernet, with slightly herbal notes accenting dried fruit, brown sugar and mocha. Not much structure, so drink up over the next several months.

Faintly nutty notes of toasted grain accent this wine’s otherwise straightforward pineapple fruit. It’s medium in body, with a fine line of crisp acidity running through it from start to finish. Drink now.

Vanilla, plum and a tangy, citrusy note dominate the palate, with brown sugar and red plum on the nose. Broad but not very deep; wants more stuffing in the midpalate.

Round, soft and seemingly a little sweet, this is the sort of wine that simultaneously sells well and gives rise to certain stereotypical views of Australian wine. There’s a hint of mint, but mainly black cherry preserves that lack real structure. Drink now.
