Greenock Creek 2004 Alices Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $50
Heady and superripe, this is a huge, mouthfilling wine that fits the ooze monster moniker, yet it finishes with structure and elegance. Camphor and cracked pepper scents accent the blackberry, dark chocolate and mint flavors that finish long, framed by dusty tannins. Drink now–2025.

Greenock Creek 2004 Apricot Block Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
Smells almost Port-like, with expansive aromas of fruit cake, maple syrup and chocolate, then delivers a similar array of flavors, although completely dry.

Greenock Creek 2004 Seven Acre Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $75
An immensely aromatic expression of Barossa Shiraz, with bold notes of menthol, raspberries, chocolate and spice all bursting forth. The flavors are similar, and similarly expressive, although this wine lacks some of the richness of texture found in Greenock Creek’s 2004 Alices or Apricot Block Shirazes. Finishes long, with a touch of warmth. Drink now–2015.

Greenock Creek 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Barossa Valley)
- $125
Just the thing if you like high-alcohol (15.5%) Barossa Cabs with lifted red cherry and blackberry flavors. Hints of wintergreen and black pepper add interest; another reviewer noticed hints of prune as well. This is a very good wine, but not as layered and rich as it could be. Drink over the near term.
