Stonehaven 1999 Chardonnay (Limestone Coast)
- $17
Opening with an attractive buttery, leesy, toasty oak nose, this Chardonnay shows good fruit complexity, blending stone fruits, citrus and melon flavors against an appealing mineral-chalk element. Good mouthfeel and a lengthy finish complete the package.

Stonehaven 1996 Reserve Shiraz (Padthaway)
- $46
A full, not overly extracted style of Shiraz with deep aromas of licorice, earth, tar, prunes and a lovely creamy note. Plum and blackberry flavors with soy and smoke accents fill the palate, and as the wine closes it displays good length with fruit and spice flavors.

Stonehaven 1996 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (McLaren Vale)
- $40
A bouquet of dark red fruits, black currants, tobacco, and foresty green-pepper elements announce this well-balanced wine. The cassis, dark berry and plum core bears an herbaceous mantle, but with style, in a Bordeaux-like manner. The finish is long with sweet, positive fruit and good tannins.

Stonehaven 1998 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $9
Quite lively and solid, offering loads of black currant and bramble on the nose, and ripe dark fruit with smoky accents on the palate. The mouthfeel is supple, with a nice peppery tang, and it finishes well, with tart berry and licorice notes.

Stonehaven 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Limestone Coast)
- $18
Dense, with plum-prune, coffee and chocolate aromas, this wine offers very ripe dark-fruit flavors accented by tobacco and cedar shadings. The mouthfeel is big, but very easy, even soft; with a little more spine-acidity and tannins-this wine could merit a higher score. Still, it's a very pleasing and promising first offering.

Stonehaven 1999 Shiraz (Limestone Coast)
- $16
Dense and purple, with mocha, chocolate and black fruit all mixing nicely on the nose. The mouth is full and corpulent, like Aussie Shiraz should be. And on the finish there’s the essence of wood spice and vanilla, with some length. Really balanced and delivers a lot in proper proportions. —M.S.

Stonehaven 1998 Shiraz (Limestone Coast)
- $17
Engaging, complex aromas of cassis, violets, smoked meat, leather and herbs open this darkly-fruited Shiraz. Licorice and spice notes accent the black-plum flavors on the full palate. The tangy finish has ample tannins, while an anise, tart fruit note adds interest on the back end.
