Big, ripe and generous, a huge mouthful of ripe cherry, sweet oak and an undercurrent of mint making it interesting as the flavors persist on the round finish. Drink now through 2010. 2,000 cases imported. –HS

Lost Highway Project

"Stella's Garden" Shiraz

93 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate 10/05

There are only 500 cases of this singularly-styled, inky/purple Shiraz. Its projected nose of ripe figs, blackberries, chocolate, and espresso roast is followed by a full-bodied wine with superb fruit intensity and purity as well as a long, concentrated finish with ripe tannin. Consume it over the next 12-15 years

Marquis Philips

Cabernet Sauvignon

90 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate 10/05

The classic 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon offers tell-tale aromas and flavors of black currants, high class cigar smoke, and herbs. Medium to full-bodied with dense, layered fruit flavors, an attractive suppleness, and an easy-going style with admirable depth, it should drink well for 2-3 years. In short, they are hedonistic, fun wines to drink ... just what wines should be. And, when you consider their prices, they represent exceptional values. The 2002s were knock-outs, the 2003s, while good, were less successful, and the 2004s hit the bull’s eye once again.

Marquis Philips

Shiraz

90 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate 10/05

The 2004 Shiraz reveals blackberry, tar, pepper, and toasty oak characteristics in its spicy, rich, deep, voluptuous personality. It will drink well for 1-3 years. This partnership between Dan Philips and winemakers Sarah and Sparky Marquis (who will no longer be making these wines starting with the 2005 vintage) has been a blockbuster success in the American market.

"Two Left Feet"

Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon

90 Points Wine Spectator Magazine 11/06

Dark, dense and chewy. Not heavy, yet the meaty, smoky black cherry and plum flavors persist impressively on the solid finish. Needs time to soften. Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2007. 7,404 cases made. –HS

Pirramimma

Shiraz

92 Points Wine Spectator Magazine 7/06

Rich and generous, a lavish mouthful of ripe blackberry, blueberry, cherry and peppermint aromas and flavors tinged by hints of sassafras and pepper as the finish sails on and on. Drink now through 2015. 7,800 cases made. –HS

2005 Razor's Edge

Shiraz

90 Points Wine Spectator Magazine 8/07

Smooth and round, with ripe plum, blackberry and dusky spice flavors that just don't quit, lingering on the open-textured finish. Not a big wine, but flavorful and graceful. Drink now through 2012. 20,000 cases made. –HS

2000 Taltarni

Shiraz

90 Points Wine Spectator Magazine 9/02

2004 Torbreck

Cuvee Juveniles

90 Points Wine Spectator Magazine 10/05

2002 Torbreck

The Struie

94 Points Wine Spectator  9/04

Ripe, round and decadent, plush in texture, oozing with tarry, chocolaty plum and black cherry flavors that linger beautifully. Picks up all kinds of spicy notes as the finish goes on and on. Should only get deeper with age. Drink now through 2020. 2,500 cases made. –HS

Torbreck

Woodcutter's Red

91 Points Robert Parker Wine Advocate 10/05

The 2004 Woodcutters Shiraz is a 20,000-case cuvee aged completely in old wood. Pure blackberry liqueur intermixed with hints of charcoal, tar, and pepper jump from the glass of this soft, velvety-textured, opulent, fruit-filled Shiraz. Amazingly complex for its price, this lusty, appealing, hedonist’s dream is worth buying by the case. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. David Powell, unquestionably one of the world’s finest wine producers, has an uncanny ability to discover old vine Barossa vineyards, and then secure long term contracts for their fruit. It is amazing that such high quality sources have not already been plucked by Australia’s giant wine corporations. Torbreck’s wines continue to get better and better, combining the old vine ripe fruit of Barossa with a European sensitivity to elegance and balance.
