Deakin Estate 1998 Shiraz
- Best Buy
- $12
Soft, with plummy flavors, this is a wine for those who like heft (14.5% alcohol), but also enough fruit and stuffing to give balance. Big and slightly brutish, it gives some serious bang for the buck.

Deakin Estate 2000 Shiraz
- Best Buy
- $11
It isn’t the most complex wine in the world, but this Deakin Estate is a sure crowd-pleaser. Its mouthfeel is smooth, almost bright; the wine is creamy until the very end, when toast and licorice flavors coat the back palate. Cherry, dark berry and vanilla flavors prevail in the mouth.

Deakin Estate 2006 Merlot
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
Hints of smoked meat, cedar and vanilla lead the way, lending oak-derived complexity to this otherwise cheery red. It’s easy and round, marked by suppleness and cherry fruit.

Deakin Estate 2008 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $7
At this score and this price, it's a shame there isn't more of this bargain to go around (only 850 cases were imported). This epitomizes the good aspects of inexpensive Australian Chardonnay, offering pear, pineapple and melon aromas, tropical fruit flavors and just a hint of oak, then finishing clean and citrusy. Drink now.

Deakin Estate 2009 Moscato Muscat of Alexandria
- Best Buy
- $7
Sweet and fruity, with a slight prickle of carbon dioxide and bright flavors of pineapple and tangerine. Fresh and clean, but drink up.

Deakin Estate 2002 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $8
Has smoke and pear aromas, with pear and anise following through on the palate. Its feel is lean and wiry; finishes with a bright herb or mint accent.

Deakin Estate 2004 Sauvignon Blanc
- Best Buy
- $9
What a bargain-priced Sauvignon. Its backbone is pure lemon—pith, peel, the whole fruit. It’s pretty straightforward, but it has dryness and crispness on its side, all wrapped in a dusty envelope. Imported by Freixenet USA.

Deakin Estate 2004 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $9
A good quaffing wine, this Chardonnay is showing yellow fruit aromas, accented by white pepper and a little vanilla. The palate has citrus flavors and a smooth, if a little bulky, body. Imported by Freixenet USA.
