Wise 2005 Reserve Chardonnay (Pemberton)
- Editors' Choice
- $27
Featuring a voluptuous nose of stone fruit and citrus framed by roasted nuts and toasty oak, this is a rich, amply endowed Chardonnay with a big personality and bold flavors. Ripe peach notes join with citrus, hazelnuts and toast on the long finish. Drink now.

Wise 2005 Eagle Bay Shiraz (Margaret River)
- Editors' Choice
- $21
From Margaret River in Western Australia, this is a full-bodied, impressively endowed Shiraz at a reasonable price. Superripe aromas of blackberries and licorice mark the nose, while the palate features similar flavors, supple tanins and a creamy-textured finish. Good to go now, with enough concentration to hold until 2015.

Wise 2006 Reserve Chardonnay (Pemberton)
- $26
Wet stone aromas underlie more prominent vanilla, butter and toast notes on the nose, while the palate shows orange, apple and pineapple flavors. The full body is shot through with brisk acidity making for a lively finish. Overall, an impressive package. Serve with flavorful ocean fish.

Wise 2004 The Donnybrook Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot Red
- $27
Another impressive showing from Wise, this strikingly opaque wine opens with seductive earth and barnyard meshed with vanilla and coconut notes. The dense palate has some grippy tannins enveloping a leather core, but does offer up some slightly confected fruit, all of which trails off into a long, earthy finish.

Wise 2005 Single Vineyard Chardonnay
- $27
Fans of structured Chard should give this a try. Ripe citrus flavors are subtly framed by toasty oak in a medium-bodied wine that finishes crisp and minerally. Good now, but should last through 2010.

Wise 2006 Single Vineyard Chardonnay
- $27
Very similar in style and feel to the 2005 offering, Wise’s 2006 Single Vineyard Chardonnay is a crisp, nicely structured wine with a preponderance of citrus and toasty oak flavors. Apple and pear notes add just the right amount of fleshiness.

Wise 2003 Reserve Chardonnay (Pemberton)
- $35
Yum. The best of the Wise Chardonnays I tried, this bottling offers apple and pear aromas, and pear and mineral flavors. Very light in color, with only a hint of toast coming through on the finish. Dry, with good acidity. 500 cases produced. Imported by Australian Wine Connection.

Wise 2002 Eagle Bay Shiraz (Margaret River)
- $28
Tight, cool and feminine, this Shiraz shows some of its region’s best hallmarks: eucalytpus, black pepper and solid plum and blackberry fruit. Smooth and minerally on the palate, with a black-peppery finish. Imported by Australian Wine Connection.
