9 Mile Road 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- $15
A reliable offering over the past few vintages, this is a medium- to full-bodied Cabernet brimming with cedar, plum and mocha. It’s muscular enough to pair with steak, or to cellar for a couple of years.

9 Mile Road 2005 Shiraz (South Australia)
- $15
Thickly concentrated, this slightly syrupy Shiraz will offer big red lovers an enticing mouthful of fruit. Blueberry notes pick up hints of flowers and spice to go with some meaty, savory notes, finishing with soft tannins. Drink now.

9 Mile Road 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (South Australia)
- $15
A debut release from American importer George Galey, this is a creamy-textured Cabernet that’s not a blockbuster but rather an elegant, balanced rendition of the variety. Cassis, vanilla and cedar are the main players, with subtle herbal notes adding complexity. Drink now–2012.

9 Mile Road 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (South Australia)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A Langhorne Creek blend put together by importer George Galey, this Cabernet shows a deft touch, combining cassis fruit with a lifted, almost raspberry-like component. Varietal notes of tobacco and mint add complexity, accented by touches of vanilla and chocolate. It’s all presented on a framework of creamy, supple tannins. Drink now.

9 Mile Road 2008 Shiraz (South Australia)
- $15
Full, thick and viscous, this is a reasonably dense Shiraz at a realistic price. Black cherry notes carry a hint of raisining, but also rich chocolaty goodness and lingering mocha on the finish. Drink now.

9 Mile Road 2004 Shiraz (South Australia)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
The brand’s name refers to a stretch in Langhorne Creek. Has nice nutmeg aromas and moderate plum and berry flavors, but an odd, artificial sweetener-like note is a detraction. Imported by American Estates Wines, Inc.
