Reilly's 2003 Old Bushvine Grenache-Shiraz (Clare Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
It’s nice to know that some Australian wineries and importers have kept a lid on prices. Reilly’s 2003 Old Bushvine is a 75-25 blend that showcases Grenache’s soft, caressing texture. It’s full-bodied but silky, with sweetly ripe cherries matched by bold lashings of vanilla and spiced with hints of clove and cinnamon. Drink now.

Reilly's 2004 Old Bushvine Grenache (Clare Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
Reilly’s Clare Valley location tends to give its wines a little more focus than some of the wines coming out of nearby Barossa, like in this fine example of old vine Grenache. Aromas of brandied cherries sprinkled with star anise add touches of chocolate and earth on the palate. It’s full, round and generous, yet finishes firm and focused. Drink now and over the…

Reilly's 2007 Watervale Riesling (Clare Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Showing hints of development in its petrol and baked apple aromas and flavors, this medium-bodied Riesling should probably be consumed over the next few years while it retains the fruit to anchor its mouthwatering finish.

Reilly's 2004 Stolen Block Shiraz (Clare Valley)
- $35
Full-bodied and softly textured, this is a mouthfilling Shiraz that packs in ample complexity and plenty of flavor. White pepper, herb and plum notes mark the nose, while the flavors of plum and raspberry fruit are accented by hints of herbs and spice. Finishes long, with crisp acids. Drink 2010–2020.

Reilly's 1999 Dry Land Shiraz (Clare Valley)
- $25
The sweet, caramel-vanilla aromas complement dark berries and earth on the palate. Lush, rich and velvety, this wine is marked by lots of oak, but has the fruit to back it up, finishing with soft, supple tannins and hints of coffee and chocolate. Top Value.

Very ripe, with brandied cherries and dark chocolate combining on the palate. May be too much for some people, but the wine’s roundness and soft, silky texture are undeniably appealing. Drink now.

Reilly's 2008 Barking Mad Shiraz (Clare Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $15
A top value in drink-now Shiraz, Reilly’s 2008 Barking Mad shows none of the overripe character that plagued the vintage. It’s almost floral on the nose, with an intense crème de framboise character. Raspberry, coffee and chocolate notes marry easily on the palate, and although it’s not that concentrated, it is full in the mouth and lushly textured on the finish…
