Deakin Estate 1998 Shiraz (Victoria)
- 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 2009 Moscato Muscat of Alexandria (Victoria)
- 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 2006 Merlot (Victoria)
- 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 2000 Shiraz (Australia)
- 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 2008 Chardonnay (Victoria)
- 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 2008 Shiraz (Victoria)
- Best Buy
- $7
Not too many places in the world can turn out wine this good for such a low price. Hints of tobacco leaf add nuance to this wine’s basic flavors of cherries and cranberries, and while it is not a hugely concentrated effort, it does offer complexity and drinkability.

Deakin Estate 2004 Sauvignon Blanc (Victoria)
- 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 2005 Chardonnay (Victoria)
- Best Buy
- $9
Very fragrant and tropical on the nose. In the mouth, this Chard offers the same pear, banana and other tropical fruits spread broadly across the palate. Its texture is a little thick, but at this price, this wine more than does its job. Imported by Freixenet USA.
