Schubert 2007 The Gosling Roennfeldt Road Shiraz (Barossa)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
The 2007 Gosling manages to combine savory, spicy complexity with bold fruit, delivering peppery, herbal notes alongside cherry and blueberry flavors. It’s mouthfilling, with a creamy texture, yet retains a sense of freshness on the lingering finish. Drink now-2020.

Schubert 2004 Block B Pinot Noir (Wairarapa)
- $50
The aromas feature a subtle interplay between roses, red fruit and earthier elements, with the flavors following along in a similar vein. But where this wine excels is in its texture—supremely silky—and finish, which shows excellent persistence. A complex and elegant expression of North Island Pinot Noir.

Schubert 2006 Roennfeldt Road Goose-yard Block Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $100
Made in a very ripe style, this wine’s traces of raisiny character detract slightly from its velvety, suede-like texture and ample concentration. It’s still admirable for its concentration and richness, but some will find it overripe. Drink now-2015.

Schubert 1999 Syrah (New Zealand)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
This impressive effort blends Hawke’s Bay and Martinborough fruit to deliver enticing aromas of cracked black pepper, licorice and blackberries. Lushly fruity on the palate, with hints of vanilla adding an elegant note. Has some tannins to lose; try from 2005–2010.

Schubert 2002 Syrah (Wairarapa)
- $54
Lovely on the nose, blending peppery, meaty scents with floral notes. On the palate, there’s blackberry and cherry fruit, accented by black pepper. A little short on the finish, but a noteworthy effort. Imported by NZ Wine Imports.

Schubert 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Hawke's Bay)
- $40
This is likely to be a controversial wine, as some folks will no doubt love its lavish levels of sweet, vanilla-laced oak while others will despise that same feature. The color is vibrant purple, and there is substantial black cherry fruit, but it all ends up somewhat jumbled and disconnected.

Schubert 2004 Syrah (Wairarapa)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
Despite 14.5% alcohol, this wine seems light and lacking depth and intensity. Modest cranberry and spice aromas are reflected on the palate, finishing with a hint of chocolate.

Schubert 2003 Pinot Noir (Wairarapa)
- $50
Relatively lightweight, with modest cherry flavors, some funky forest-floor elements and some unintegrated oak. Imported by New Zealand Wine Imports.
