Henry's Drive Vignerons 2008 Reserve Shiraz (Padthaway)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
Big, bold and structured, this is a dry yet mouthwatering beast of a Shiraz, its blackberry, mocha and black olive notes held in check by firm tannins. Give it 3–4 years in the cellar, then drink it over the next several years.

Henry's Drive Vignerons 2005 Parson's Flat Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon (Padthaway)
- $40
The blend is 73% Shiraz and 27% Cabernet, yielding a full-bodied, creamy-textured wine that still shows touches of Cabernet structure. Powerful notes of mocha, spice, dried fruit and chocolate come to a velvety crescendo on the long finish. Drink now–2015.

Henry's Drive Vignerons 2007 Reserve Shiraz (Padthaway)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
This full-bodied, fleshy Shiraz weighs in at a hefty 16% alcohol, but don’t let that put you off. For the near term, it’s a delicious bowl of mixed berries dressed up with elegant accents of smoke, toast, vanilla and mocha that hide the alcohol well. Drink now-2015.

Henry's Drive Vignerons 2006 Reserve Shiraz (Padthaway)
- $50
This full-bodied, creamy-textured Shiraz packs quite an alcoholic punch (15.5%), but it is so well integrated that most drinkers won’t notice it. There’s a hint of mint to the aromas, but the primary scents are of plummy fruit, chocolate and a savory note of black olive. Long and fleshy on the finish. Drink now–2016.

Henry's Drive Vignerons 2008 Dead Letter Office Shiraz (McLaren Vale-Padthaway)
- Editors' Choice
- $27
Although this starts off showing loads of vanilla and bright, boysenberry-like fruit, this is not a simple fruity concoction; there’s some elegance here, and some savory notes of coffee and roasted meat as well. Drink this rich, full-bodied Shiraz over the next few years.
