Long Flat 2005 Destinations Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A good value in Barossa Shiraz, the 2005 Long Flat Destinations offers good depth of plummy fruit and plenty of peppery spice on the finish. Its tannins are supple, making this easy to drink now, although it should last at least five more years.

Long Flat 2006 Destinations Riesling (Clare Valley)
- $15
Nearly a Best Buy, this Riesling offers early drinkability relative to many of its Clare cousins. Mixed citrus and crushed-stone aromas mark the nose, while the medium-bodied palate finishes long, with what seems to be a touch of sweetness. Drink now–2010.

Long Flat 2006 Destinations Chardonnay (Yarra Valley)
- $15
Creamy and soft in texture, this is a rich, full-flavored Chardonnay that should prove to be a crowd-pleaser. The tangerine and melon flavors go down dangerously easy, accented by scents of crème brûlée, and the price is remarkably fair for the quality.

Long Flat 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)
- $14
This medium-weight Cabernet shows true to its terroir, with hints of mint or eucalyptus adding a medicinal edge to the bright cherry fruit. Fully dry, but soft and rounded on the finish.

- $14
Derived from Grant Burge’s own Barossa plantings, this soft, enveloping wine boasts expressive black cherry and plum flavors and a subtle hit of vanilla. Not hugely complex, but satisfying.
