Vinaceous 2009 Raconteur Cabernet Sauvignon

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $17
This wine delivers plenty of authoritative Cabernet flavor and structure at a reasonable tariff. Dark fruit flavors are accented by copious notes of vanilla, cedar and mint, and while the fruit is fully ripe, it remains firm throughout. Drink now–2020.  — J.C.  (2/1/2012)

Vinaceous 2007 Snake Charmer Shiraz (McLaren Vale)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
The aromas of this Shiraz are surprisingly dark; they tend toward the blackberry and cola end of the spectrum, while the flavors are more reminiscent of stewed berries with a touch of cinnamon. Medium to full in body, the wine is pleasantly round in the mouth, then turns tart on the finish. Drink now-2015.  — J.C.  (2/1/2010)

Vinaceous 2007 Red Right Hand Shiraz-Grenache-Tempranillo (McLaren Vale)

  1. $20
A lush, full-bodied expression of the Australian blend, featuring hints of menthol that serve to accent the ripe blueberry, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Finishes long, with loads of persistent fruit.  — J.C.  (11/1/2009)

Vinaceous 2007 Raconteur Cabernet Sauvignon (Padthaway)

  1. $20
Clearly aimed at the U.S. market, the Raconteur is a soft, mouthfilling Cab imbued with chocolate and prune flavors that may strike some tasters as slightly overripe. Drink it over the next year or two.  — J.C.  (11/1/2009)
