Barwang 1996 Winemaker's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (New South Wales)
- $25
The fruit here comes exclusively from the winery’s namesake vineyard in the Hilltops district. Cassis-like aromatics with a slight herbal cool streak. Excellent depth of Cabernet fruit, lots of dark blackberry flavor, with touches of cedar and cigar box. Rich mouthfeel and a long, round, palate-caressing finish. Beautifully made and very satisfying.

Barwang 1996 Winemaker's Reserve Shiraz (Coonawarra)
- $25
Fine, smoky nose. Pungent but elegant deep berry and earth flavors, and a velvety, beautifully textured mouthfeel. Finishes sweet and fairly plummy. A very suave, even svelte Shiraz.

Barwang 1997 Regional Selection Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)

The Coonawarra fruit shows immediately. Zesty nose, with dark berry fruit, earth and smoky bacon-fat notes. Dark fruit with cocoa nuances on the palate. Nice feel on the palate; the fruit and acid are in very good balance. Dry, spicy and elegant finish. Lively and satisfying.

Barwang 1997 Regional Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)
- $18
Displays not just good flavors but considerable complexity for a Cabernet in this price range. Aromas of very ripe berries, with attractive herb, smoke and earth nuances. Flavors of cassis, dark chocolate and toast. Very good mouthfeel and a long, clean finish. Unexpected elegance.

Deep fruit here, with peach and pear as well as tropical fruit. Spicy oak, more evident than in the Vintage Select. Good round mouthfeel; long toasty finish.

Barwang 1997 Winemaker's Reserve Shiraz (Coonawarra)
- $20
A very dark, very ripe wine that impresses through its sheer size. It smells sweet, with cherry cola, white chocolate, and vanilla aromas, and that impression of sweetness carries over to the palate. Tastes very full-bodied and rich, like black-cherry jam. The tannins are soft and velvety.
