Bulletin Place 2008 Merlot (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
Despite some initial hints of tomato leaf on the nose, this is a soft, round, lush Merlot, filled with plummy notes and even some mocha notes. With its long, supple finish, this is a budget-priced Merlot worth buying.

Bulletin Place 2004 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $8
A delicate, feminine Chardonnay, exciting in that it has more nuance than you'd expect from an $8 wine. The nose offers pretty citrus and olive oil scents, and it tastes a little like lemon pannacotta, dusted with some chalk. Mouthfeel has a viscous, round texture. Way to go.

Bulletin Place 2008 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
Toasted grain scents artfully limn melon aromas. This wine displays an appealingly plump, custardy texture allied to restrained fruit and just a hint of musky spice. Drink now.

Bulletin Place 2007 Merlot (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
Merlot is a variety that receives little respect—or accolades—in Australia, but this one is a cut above the rest. The complex nose is classic Chinese tea and herbs with some Shiraz-like tar notes that lead into plum and raspberry flavors in the mouth. Finishes a bit short but with a nice, coconut-infused acidic lift.

Bulletin Place 2009 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
This value-priced label has turned out a notably successful 2009 Shiraz, combining red currants with enough meaty, savory elements to possess real interest. It’s medium in body and fleshy yet crisp, making it very drinkable over the near term.

Bulletin Place 2000 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
Mint leaves and young sage do well to cover the aromas of wilted greens, with plenty of caramel, toast and grape jelly that extend to the palate. The finish is tinged with herbal qualities and white pepper. —K.F.

Bulletin Place 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $8
Starts off a bit brambly and herbal, but the fruit is spicy and fresh, showing some supple tannins on the midpalate. Cherry flavors pick up a minty herbaceousness on the finish that would make this wine work well with lamb. Drink now.

Bulletin Place 1999 Chardonnay (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $8
Tropical fruits start this one off and on the palate, toasted oak and butterscotch join in. The structure is solid and the acid just right. This is a clean, decent Chardonnay.
