Old School 2004 Graduates Cabernet Sauvignon (Barossa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Big and richly oaked, this Barossa Cab nevertheless pulls off its 15% alcohol with aplomb, offering layers of blackberries, vanilla and dill. Ends with tongue-coating tannins and lingering tart-berry notes. Try with rare steak or roasts.

Old School 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Barossa Valley)
- $34
A worthy sister wine to the Old School Shiraz. Both offer good value for the money. The vintage has given this Barossa Cab an undertone of cool crispness; plum and wheat bread flavors and textured tannins complement a spicy chile-powder note on the nose. One to watch in the future.

Old School 2002 Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $34
Winemaker Noel Heidenreich’s Shiraz is compelling, not overwhelming, with some vanilla flavors framing juicy red plum and raspberry fruit. It’s pleasing and textured, and gives the same impression on the nose: spice, curry, moist clay, red fruit. Very appealing overall, tiptoeing out on the finish with soft tannins. Imported by The Australian Wine Connection.

Old School 2004 Principals Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $40
There’s three words you need to know to understand this wine: vanilla, vanilla and vanilla. Sure, there are some hints of coffee, and just enough plummy, blackberry fruit to support the heavy-handed oak, but this is Shiraz of a distinct style. If you like lavishly oaked wines, this one is for you.
