Houghton 2005 Shiraz (Western Australia)
- $15
A juicy, drink-now Shiraz with some complexity. Meaty, olive-y aromas start it all off, and raspberry and chocolaty oak notes follow through on the palate. Drinkable, accessible and enjoyable. Imported by Canandaigua Wine Co.

Houghton 2005 White (Western Australia)
- $15
Two-thirds Chardonnay with Verdelho making up the balance, this is a pretty unique white. Has grassy notes on the nose, which join with pretty pungent notes of tangerine and peach on the palate. Soft and round in the mouth, it finishes with an orange-y note. Imported by Canandaigua Wine Co.

Houghton 2004 Red (Western Australia)
- $15
Meaty aromas make way for a red blend that’s light in the mouth with a nice, chalky-rocky grab on the midpalate. Simple and quaffable; reminiscent of a basic Côtes-du-Rhône in size and style. Imported by Canandaigua Wine Co.

Houghton 2005 Chardonnay (Western Australia)
- $15
Receives what Houghton calls a whisper of oak; indeed, most of its flavors—modest peach and citrus—are at a muted volume. Still, this is a good, dry, austere style of Chard, appropriate for the pre-dinner cocktail hour. Imported by Canandaigua Wine Co.

Houghton 2005 Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc (Western Australia)
- $15
Offers up pretty white peach and floral aromas, while the palate deals some pink grapefruit and grass notes. Not very giving flavorwise; with more acidity, it would be just the thing for oysters.
