Bilton 1999 Merlot (Stellenbosch)
- $18
A nose of flavorful, plummy fruit with clove accents pulls you right in to this winning medium-weight wine. The fruit reads rich and bright on the balanced, not-at-all-weighty palate, with its very smooth feel. Finishes with a long dance of ripe plum and sweet oak, a statement of fine fruit handsomely rendered that will drink well through 2005. —M.M.

Bilton 2004 Merlot (Stellenbosch)
- $27
Appetizing aromas of grilled meats and spices start out this big Merlot from Stellenbosch. Pronounced tannins, a wave of spicy oak and hearty, meaty Merlot flavors mean this wine has a heavier, more robust hand. May need some aging and a food pairing with muscle to show its true potential, but overall, it’s a winner on all counts.

Bilton 2002 Shiraz (Stellenbosch)
- $25
Shows a hint of volatility in its high-toned, mixed-berry and pie crust aromas, then settles down a bit on the palate, where the predominant flavors are of tart cherries and cranberries. Finishes with flourishes of toast and vanilla. Imported by Southern Starz, Inc.
