Wood Park 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz (King Valley)
- $25
Gamy, leathery aromas don’t quite hide this wine’s sweet cherry nuances. In the mouth, the leather, tobacco, cigar box and oak notes are prominent, but some nice plum, berry and cherry come through in medium- bodied style. There’s good acidity and some firm tannins that need to soften. Enjoy from 2003 through 2006.

Wood Park 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz (King Valley)
- $22
This wine’s sweet edge will please those who haven’t yet grown to appreciate complex Cabs. Aromas of mushrooms and wet soil burn off to reveal a sugary, grapey bouquet. Oak and an herbal, tarragon-like flavor dominate the palate; finishes with smoke and a sweet, Port-flavored candy taste.

Wood Park 1999 Meadow Creek Chardonnay (Victoria)
- $25
This Chard’s nose has pleasing butterscotch and cream aromas (that were somehow light enough to almost smell like a Sauvignon Blanc); sadly, the rest of the wine couldn’t live up to the promising bouquet. Oak is the dominant flavor on the tangy, hot palate; there’s high acidity in the mouth and on the back end. Pucker, pucker.
