Cockatoo Ridge 2000 Shiraz (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
Lightweight and easy drinking, this opens with aromas of grilled meat, toast and raspberries. The balanced palate offers plenty of red fruit, while the finish tastes of buttered rum and meat juices. Best Buy. —K.F.

Cockatoo Ridge NV NV Brut Sparkling (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
In this price category, you're lucky to find a sparkler that won't give you a killer headache the morning after revelry—so it's just gravy that this wine tastes good, too. Slight coppery hue, with dusty cherry aromas and flavors. It's soft, foamy and goes down easy.

Cockatoo Ridge 2000 The Real Taste of Australia Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
The nose is tight, with some tobacco, leather and green bean poking through. Cherry and chocolate flavors lead into a dry palate. The early impression beats the lasting one, making it solid but unspectacular

Cockatoo Ridge 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
A very dry, lean, spare style of Sauvignon. Smells fresh—like fresh green pea—and a green herbaceousness continues on the palate. It’s just the thing for an outdoor party or wedding, but its wiry profile won’t appeal to everyone. Imported by Davies & Co.

Cockatoo Ridge 2008 Chardonnay (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $8
Starts off with a slightly flinty note that quickly gives way to peach, pineapple and a touch of popcorn. A bit viscous on the palate, and with a touch of underripe peach on the finish, but overall a solid effort.

Cockatoo Ridge 2003 Chardonnay (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- $7
Shows aromas of dust, pineapple, and orange. In the mouth, it’s slightly built with low-intensity yellow fruit and a woody, peach-pit bite. Finishes with more wood.

Cockatoo Ridge 2001 Chardonnay (South Australia)
- Online Exclusive
- $7
This Chard is smooth in the mouth, with white stone fruit on the palate, plus white pepper and mineral notes that extend through the finish. What’s here is pleasant enough, but more of these good things wouldn’t hurt.
