Greg Norman Estates 2006 Reserve Shiraz (Limestone Coast)
- $35
A hugely oaky wine, but one that manages to taste awfully good nonetheless, with layers of vanilla and toast leading into a full-bodied, supple wine loaded with notes of maple syrup and brown sugar. Drink now.

Heritage Road 1998 Reserve Shiraz (Limestone Coast)
- $16
Licorice, berry and mocha cream are major elements in the seductive bouquet. Creamy, concentrated fruit, leather and black pepper on the palate ride the extracted but not too syrupy mouthfeel. This is a rich Aussie Shiraz with dense fruit and lots of oak—but also enough spine to keep its balance.

Heritage Road 1999 Reserve Old Mundulla Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Limestone Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
Dark and young, it impresses for sheer power. In its youth, it’s packed with precocious aromas and flavors of sappy blackberry jam framed in oak, and with a hefty dose of tannins. This young, juicy wine needs time to soften and collect itself, but if the lengthy, elaborate finish is any indication, it will age just fine. Editors’ Choice.

Greg Norman Estates 2001 Reserve Shiraz (Limestone Coast)
- $50
At seven years of age, this is a reasonably complex wine, well suited to pair with roasts. The ample oak is integrated with the fruit, yielding a mélange of nuances that include grilled meat, cedar, vanilla, dried spices, coffee, black olives, blackberries and tar. Drink now–2015.

Heritage Road 1998 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Limestone Coast)
- $16
Blackberry, herb, tobacco and a menthol note mark the nose of this full but not heavy red. The fruit is ripe, sweet and unburdened by excess oak. The long, juicy cherry and licorice finish sports no hard tannins. Lovely for drinking now.

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 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.
