Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2005 Single Vineyard Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
An impressively endowed effort, this features a slightly lifted, floral component to its bouquet that adds to its complexity, blending seamlessly with scents of dark plum, vanilla, smoke, coffee and spice. The mouthfilling flavors frame bold fruit in firm spice, giving this wine ample structure and length. Drink now–2015. Imported by Sovereign Wine Imports.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2004 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- $25
Good as ever, this vintage of the Yangarra Shiraz doles out plenty of juicy blackberry and blueberry fruit accented with fresh but subtle vanilla bean notes. Full and bouncy on the palate, and long on the finish. Winemaker Peter Fraser just doesn’t know how to make bad wine. Imported by Yangarra Estate Vineyard.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2003 GSM Red (McLaren Vale)
- $20
An abyss of black pepper on the nose, with some whiffs of white cotton. Imagine strapping an eight-cylinder engine to a basket full of berries and black peppercorns and watching it go: That's what this wine tastes like. It's full-throttle and fruit-ripe, with lifted fruit, spice and black pepper on the finish.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2006 Single Vineyard Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A unique blend of spice and blueberry sets this Shiraz apart from the pack, and it pulls away even further due to a lush, creamy texture and long, mouthcoating finish. There’s great purity to the fruit, but enough peppery spice for complexity. Drink now–2016.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2007 Single Vineyard Roussanne (McLaren Vale)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Made in a rich, opulent style for near-term consumption, Yangarra’s Roussanne features exotic notes of toasted hazelnuts, bananas Foster and ripe pineapple. It’s full-bodied without being overly heavy, with a long finish redolent of tropical fruit and citrus.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2003 Old Vine Grenache (McLaren Vale)
- $20
This is some of the Vale's most sought-after Grenache; it was planted by the Smart family in 1946 and narrowly escaped being pulled up a few years back. Mint, fresh herb and black pepper aromas are profound; on the palate, lifted black cherry and plum fruit is swathed in fine tannins. A wine worth seeking out, as it tends to sell out shortly after release.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2008 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- $20
This wine wobbles along the line between superripe and overripe, at times seeming a bit raisiny, at others seeming just right. It’s full-bodied, soft and expansive, with a lush, long finish, but drink it over the next few years.

Yangarra Estate Vineyard 2002 Shiraz (McLaren Vale)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Yangarra is becoming synonymous with excellent wines at fair prices. Nose is a little hot at first, but later reveals pastry flour and black pepper aromas. Ripe red plums and vanilla accents unfold in the mouth. Not a huge, rich wine, but certainly a classy one.
