Currency Creek Estate 2003 Ostrich Hill Shiraz (Currency Creek)
- $17
A lighter-sized Shiraz, this one features red berry and cherry in abundance on the palate, but flattens out to a dusty, woody finish. Aromas run the gamut from black pepper and sweet raspberry to floral notes, then rhubarb and tomato. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group.

Currency Creek Estate 2004 The Viaduct Unwooded Chardonnay (Currency Creek)
- $14
This wine has a nice feel—it tastes like it’s coated in a thick layer of attic dust, the way some good Champagnes do—with apple and melon fruit below. What I can’t get by is a strong lactic-buttery aroma (no really, it smells like a stick of butter), which lets up some on the palate. Finishes on a sour-apple lollipop note. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group.

Currency Creek Estate 2005 Sedgeland Sauvignon Blanc (Currency Creek)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Has light aromas of soy or saline, coupled with dust and mineral flavors. Medium-weight and good, but there’s not much verve here.

Currency Creek Estate 2003 The Black Swamp Cabernet Sauvignon (Currency Creek)
- $17
Smells like demiglace, earth and tree. On the palate, it’s twangy, and not very well integrated: A filmy layer of oak hovers over cursory plum fruit. Simple, one-dimensional. Imported by Conquest Beverage Group.
