With its expressive notes of espressso and black olive, this Shiraz is on the savory side, but it still carries enough plummy fruit to provide balance. It’s mouthfilling and generous, while a bit of tartness on the finish serves to highlight the coffee and earth flavors. Drink now-2017.

Plantagenet 2010 Omrah Sauvignon Blanc (Great Southern)
- Best Buy
- $15
An intense, flavorful rendition of Sauvignon Blanc, this is grapefruity from start to finish, balanced by slightly riper notes of pineapple and a custardy richness to the wine’s texture. Pair it with bold fish dishes over the next 6–9 months.

Plantagenet 2008 Omrah Pinot Noir (Western Australia)
- $17
This well-priced Pinot is a crowd-pleaser, with classic Pinot Noir aromas of cherry pie filling and strawberries that carry over to the palate. There they join finely buffed tannins and firm acidity to create a very impressive package. The medium finish is marked by raspberry and cherry flavors. Drink now or hold a year or two.

Plantagenet 2004 Omrah Cabernet Sauvignon (Western Australia)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A good value, this starts off a little shaky thanks to some barnyard scents on the nose, then rights itself. Herbal-tobacco notes accent plum-prune flavors in this medium-bodied wine with a creamy-smooth texture. Soft and easygoing, it’s ideal to drink now.
