Marquis Philips 2000 Sarah's Blend Red (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $15
Writes the book on how to make a wine filled with gigantic jammy fruit that’s nonetheless dry, balanced and harmonious. The Cabernet contributes blackcurrants and structural tannins. The Syrah brings a peppery richness, while Merlot adds soft fruitiness. You can actually taste each varietal, yet the wine hangs together, dry and rich. Best Buy.

Marquis Philips 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (South Eastern Australia)
- Best Buy
- $15
Magnificently rich and decadent, a wine stuffed with complexity but one that manages balance and harmony. Name the fruit and it’s in there, from blackberry to orange rind. Dry, crisp and stylish, with soft but intricate tannins, this wine would cost two to three times as much in California.

Marquis Philips 2000 Shiraz (South Eastern Australia)
- $15
Dark, dark, dark purple. Big, rich, jammy and intense, filled with blackberry, blueberry and black cherry preserves and dark chocolate, but dry as dust. That sums up this muscular, heady wine. The tannins are soft, and it’s fun to drink and delicious.

Marquis Philips 2000 Merlot (South Eastern Australia)
- $15
Rich, dark and plummy. Here’s a big wine in every respect that combines fully ripened fruit with dry tannins and crisp acidity to produce a wonderfully drinkable wine. Lacks the extra dimensions to qualify as great, but it’s a super mouthful, although it does require big rich foods.
