Mandu 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Best Buy

Price $12

This is a big, full-bodied, highly extracted wine, with some chewy tannins and slightly elevated alcohol on the finish. Flavors are oaky and dark, with chocolate and cassis joined by a hint of roasted pepper. A bit of a bruiser; drink it now with rare beef or lamb to help mellow its tannins, or age it several years and see if it develops more finesse. — J.C. (2/1/2007)

Mandu 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Price $14

Despite aromas that come across as being rather green—almost to the point of asparagus or green bean—this wine’s flavors are much less so. And the cassis-tinged fruit is supple and rounded in the mouth as well, providing plenty of pleasure. Drink now; its evolution is uncertain. — J.C. (10/1/2009)

Mandu 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Margaret River)

Price $12

This narrow, value-priced wine is unusual in its category because its dominating notes are earthy, woodsy ones, rather than forwardly fruity ones. Has edgy, wooly tannins that would make it a ready partner for some charbroiled meats. Imported by The Country Vintner. — D.T. (8/1/2006)

Mandu 2007 Shiraz (Great Southern)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

A bit of rhubarb marks the nose of this otherwise cherry-fruited wine. Despite 14.5% alcohol, it’s not really full bodied, showing creamy tannins but not much depth. Pleasant, soft and easy-drinking. — J.C. (11/1/2009)
