Rolling 2009 Shiraz (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- $10
Despite the inexpensive price tag, this is a solid Shiraz, offering ripe black cherry fruit and touches of tree bark and orris root. It’s medium-bodied, yet features a velvety texture and plenty of length on the finish. Drink now–2015.

Rolling 2007 Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- $10
A fabulous value in the under-appreciated Semillon-Sauvignon Blanc category, this spicy white is lively, fresh and highly perfumed, with notes of tangerine and orchids that give way a medium-bodied palate redolent of orange flower. There’s well-defined acidity and citrus notes on the dry finish, suggesting a complement of lighter fish dishes. Drink up.

Rolling 2005 Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon (Central Ranges)
- $13
Not impressive out of the gate—a pithy, stalky note dominates the palate. But after a few sips, these qualities subside and this very dry wine's gravelly, texture starts to grow on you, its mouthwatering finish tempting you to another sip. Pear and melon notes on the nose start it all off. Imported by Cumulus Wines Inc.

Rolling 2007 Shiraz (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- $10
For $10, this delivers all you can expect and more. It's not a big, mouthcoating Shiraz, but one that shows decent complexity and balance. Mixed berry aromas display a slightly herbal-briary streak, while the berry fruit picks up hints of espresso and chocolate. Drink now-2012.

Rolling 2005 Chardonnay (Central Ranges)
- $13
From vineyards 600 meters above sea level comes a Chard with white peach and mineral notes at its core. On the nose, they’re dressed up in a subtle dose of burnt sugar; on the palate, they’re backed up with vanilla and floral notes. Soft and even a little oily in feel. 20,000 cases produced. Imported by Cumulus Wines Inc.

Rolling 2005 Shiraz (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- $10
An easy-drinking Shiraz, with crisp, well-defined blueberry fruit, a smear of chocolate and a twist of cracked pepper. Not much in the way of tannin, so drink now.

Rolling 2007 Chardonnay (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $10
Snap this one up for its refreshing herbal, lemon and pine-scented nose and its flavorful palate with burnt orange and pineapple tones. More refreshing and subtle than most Chardonnays in this price range, this wine is a good pick for someone who wants a dash of Old World austerity and elegance in their New World wine. Try with arctic char or coho salmon. Best…

Rolling 2006 Chardonnay (Central Ranges)
- Best Buy
- $10
Light and fresh, with simple but clean and well-crafted apple and citrus flavors. It’s a good picnic or lunch wine, paired with chicken salad or grilled chicken breast.
