Murray Street 2004 Benno Shiraz-Mataro Red (Barossa Valley)

Price $75

The flagship wine from a relatively new Barossa producer, the 2004 Benno features smoky, savory, spice- and meat-driven aromas that easily move into complex and well-integrated flavors of spice and dark berries. Despite its labeled 15% alcohol, the wine isn’t heavy, instead offering medium body and a creamy smooth texture. Finishes long, with lingering dark fruit… — J.C. (4/1/2009)

Murray Street 2005 Greenock Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Price $50

Greenock is a highly regarded subsection of the Barossa, and this is a fine example of Shiraz from that region. It’s a full-bodied yet well structured wine, with slightly dusty tannins framing meaty, savory notes, hints of mocha and black olive and tart, juicy berries. Drink now with a grilled steak, or age to 2015 and pair with roast beef or lamb. — J.C. (8/1/2009)

Murray Street 2005 Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Price $30

This soft, creamy-textured Shiraz features slightly lifted and peppery aromas and a suggestion of mint, then subdued flavors of cola, olive, earth and spice. It could use more obvious, expressive fruit, but there’s no doubt this delicious wine shows complexity and elegance to spare. Drink now–2015. — J.C. (8/1/2009)

Murray Street 2005 The Barossa Red (Barossa Valley)

Price $30

This venture is only about five years old, but already turning out some pretty smart wines. This blend of Shiraz (49%), Grenache (34%), Cinsaut (10%) and Mataro (7%) features a medium- to full-bodied blend of savory, meaty, spicy aromas and flavors that emphasizes dark fruit and earth. Relatively open knit and ready to drink. — J.C. (9/1/2009)
