Cockfighter's Ghost 2004 Verdelho (Hunter Valley)
- $17
It’s a good thing that the weather is warming up, because this is just the kind of wine that you want in a chiller out on the deck. Floral and light citrus aromas preface flavors of lemon meringue and river rocks. Smooth, dry and refreshing. Imported by The Ravensvale Group.

Cockfighter's Ghost 2004 Chardonnay (Hunter Valley)
- $19
This Chard’s charms are its delicate feel and slim body. Peach flavors take a backseat to a dry, stony feel. Good pre-dinner selection, with a modest 12.7% alcohol. 3,500 cases produced. Imported by The Ravensvale Group.

Cockfighter's Ghost 2001 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- $23
Straight out of the bottle, the wine tastes and smells quite a bit sweeter than it does after a few minutes in the glass. With air, the caramelly aromas and sweet fruit flavors settle nicely into an enjoyable, easy-drinking wine gussied up with a stony-chalky feel. Straightforward, but evolves nicely.

Cockfighter's Ghost 2001 Chardonnay (Hunter Valley)
- $18
As spooky as the name may sound, the profile here is sunny as can be—peach, mango, sunflower, with light cream accents. Medium-weight and billowy in the mouth; the nose’s funky cologne-meets-lead pencil aroma was the only downside for us. 3,500 cases produced.

Cockfighter's Ghost 2004 Sémillon (Hunter Valley)
- $17
A good, approachable white, this Semillon shows grass and hay aromas, and modest banana, peach and cream flavors. Pretty hefty in feel; finishes short. Imported by The Ravensvale Group.

Cockfighter's Ghost 1998 Premium Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)
- $35
Bright herbal and black cherry aromas start things off; blackberry flavors are prevalent, but tinged with an oaky tang. Some tasters found minty notes to appreciate; others were turned off by the same flavor because they thought it too medicinal.

Cockfighter's Ghost 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Langhorne Creek)
- $19
Red fruit is at its core, but the wine also has both flavors and aromas of celery. It’s a light, slight-boned wine, with smooth tannins on the finish.
