Marlargo 2006 Bolero Riesling (Clare Valley)
- $16
Marlargo appears to be a reasonably successful attempt at fashioning a pan-Australian brand, sourcing fruit from different parts of the country. This Clare Riesling starts with scents of talcum powder and lime sherbet, then follows those up with similar flavors. It’s muscular and taut, even a bit austere, clocking in at only 11.4% alcohol. May develop through 2015.

Marlargo 2006 Fingers Crossed Red (South Australia)
- Best Buy
- $10
This unlikely blend of 87% Shiraz and 13% Petit Verdot hits the right notes for a bargain sipper, boasting plenty of weight and an interesting juxtaposition of raspberry fruit with dark chocolate. Earthy notes provide depth, and the finish is surprisingly silky for a wine in this price range. Drink now.

Marlargo 2005 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
I can't say I'm a big fan of the Marlargo labels, but what's in the bottle is pretty good. This medium-bodied Shiraz boasts soft, supple tannins that support aromas and flavors of coffee, cola, leather and black olive. For all its dark flavors, the finish is mouthwatering, inviting another sip.

Marlargo 2006 Pinot Grigio (Adelaide Hills)
- $16
From its slight tinge of copper this wine appears to have had some skin contact, and perhaps that can account for it’s almost Pinot Noir-like aromas of strawberries and sous bois. Stone fruit and citrus flavors are round on the palate, then finish fresh and vibrant, underscored by crisp acidity. Drink now.

Marlargo 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Heathcote)
- $20
Marlargo’s wide range of wines includes this big-boned, rather chewy offering from Heathcote. Mint, chocolate and cassis flavors are pretty standard fare, but well executed, with a dusting of dry tannins on the finish. Drink now–2016.

Marlargo 2007 Rosé (McLaren Vale)

Despite some tomatoey aromas and flavors, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot also strikes some finer notes, offering hints of mushroom and cassis and finishing clean and fresh.

Marlargo 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Adelaide Hills)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
Pretty aromas of fresh herbs and quince dominate the fairly simple nose and lead to a refreshing, edgy palate with a dry, chalky finish. Best with summer salads.
