| NW-1275. 05 RUSDEN BAKER HILL CABERNET SAUVIGNON BAROSSA Parker 91 - UNDENIABLE VALUE: ‘Possesses licorice, underbrush, black currant, and tar-like aromas. With fabulous fruit and richness, it tastes like a $75 Napa Valley Cabernet. Enjoy this beauty over the next 7-10 years.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 21.99 each |
| NW-1276. 06 THORN CLARKE IMPORTER’S RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON BAROSSA Tanzer 90: ‘ Peppery red- and blackcurrant aromas show very good clarity and become more floral with air. Red berry and cherry tart flavors are underscored by zesty minerality. The tannins are deftly woven into the tangy fruit and only make their presence felt on the back end. An energetic cabernet with very good finishing lift and length. This would be ideal with a spicy piece of grilled lamb.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 17.99 each |
| NW-1277. 04 CLARENDON HILLS HICKINBOTHAM CABERNET SAUVIGNON CLARENDON Parker 94: ‘The even more backward, tannic, ageworthy 2004 is their Latour. From 50-year-old vines, it offers up aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, chocolate, coffee, and tobacco leaves. This powerful, rich, full-bodied effort needs at least 4-5 years of cellaring, and should keep for two decades or more. It is one of the few Clarendon Hills wines to be aged in 100% new French oak. None of these cuvees is fined or filtered.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 67.99 each |
| NW-1278. 06 D’ARENBERG HIGH TRELLIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON MCLAREN VALE Wine Enthusiast 90 - EDITORS’ CHOICE: ‘Featuring tobacco, cassis and lesser quantities of mint and cocoa, this is a full-bodied wine that offers plenty of flavor interest and depth at a reasonable price. It does show some slightly chewy, dusty tannins on the finish, but the fruit ultimately wins through, suggesting it will be at its best from 2010-2020.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 19.99 each |
| NW-1279. 04 MARQUIS PHILIPS S2 CABERNET SAUVIGNON MCLAREN VALE Tanzer 91; Wine Spectator 92: ‘Broad and ripe, not heavy, this feels almost like a big, floating ship, emanating ripe cherry, blackberry, toasty oak and hints of smoke and licorice as the finish sails on and on.

| How Many bottles/singles: 11.99 each |
| NW-1304. 06 YARD DOG RED SE AUST Tanzer 89: ‘55% petit verdot, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 15% merlot. Powerful cherry and plum aromas are brightened by minerals and dried flowers. Strong bitter cherry and dark berry flavors are nicely framed by dusty tannins and pick up a bitter fruit pit quality on the back end. Finishes with youthful tannic grip and impressive persistence. More serious and structured than just about any other wine at this price I tried this year. Believe it or not, this will reward a few years of bottle aging.’ |

| NW-1309. 06 GLAETZER ANAPERENNA SHIRAZ/CABERNET BAROSSA (C) Parker 94-97: ‘Anaperenna is the wine formerly known as Godolphin, the change resulting from a trademark dispute. It was aged for 15 months in new French and American oak. It offers a sensational bouquet of pain grille, scorched earth, meat, game, blueberry, and black currants. This is followed by a surprisingly elegant yet powerful, structured wine with gobs of spicy fruit, ripe tannins, and a plush texture. The long, 60-second finish is succulent and sweet. Give this classy wine 4-6 years in the cellar and enjoy it through 2030.’ |
| How Many bottles/singles: 71.99 each |

| How Many bottles/singles: 29.99 each |
| NW-1311. 05 PETER LEHMANN CLANCY'S SHIRAZ/CABERNET/MERLOT BAROSSA Still rather 05 tight, but is progressing some since last sampled, loosening up, sweetening up, gaining range and depth. Mostly black fruit concentrate; little or no wood./ Dark berries, spices, and tobacco flavors. Nice layering of shiraz berry and meat, and cabernet solidity. Delivers the usual reliable Clancy’s attributes. Will improve but can be brought to the table now. 90+/100. |
| How Many bottles/singles: 17.99 each |
| NW-1312. 07 TAIT THE BALLBUSTER SHIRAZ/CABERNET/MERLOT BAROSSA Parker 92 - AWESOME VALUE: ‘72% Shiraz, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11% Merlot. It has a nose of cedar, leather, spice box, and blueberry that leaps from the glass. This is followed by a plush, full-bodied wine with gobs of flavor and superior length. This easy-to-understand effort defines the meaning of over-delivering and will do so for another four years.’ |

Full-bodied as well as elegant, restrained, and Eurocentric in character, it should be consumed over the following 6-10 years.’ |

| How Many bottles/singles: 15.99 each |
| NW-1317. 05 D’ARENBERG ORIGINAL SHIRAZ/GRENACHE MCLAREN VALE Wine & Spirits 93: ‘Francis d’Arenberg Osborn, better know as d’Arry, developed this style in the 1960s; his son, Chester, who makes the wine today, has taken some creative directions with other styles while continuing to defer to his father with this wine. And he nailed it in 2005. It’s classical McLaren, with full-bore strawberry and raspberry fruit blowing through curtains of tannins that feel fresh despite their earthy weight. Rustic and pretty. Buy a case or more. You won’t grow tired of it.’ |

It emits an expressive, sexy perfume of violets, wood smoke, black pepper, espresso, blueberry, and chocolate. Full-bodied, on the palate, this voluptuous effort has great concentration with a noticeable uplift from the Viognier, tons of spicy black fruit, enough ripe tannin to evolve for a decade, and 60-second finish.

Ripe aromas of dark cherry and plum jam, complicated by bitter chocolate and tobacco. Wound-up and youthful, the cherry flavor showing a slightly tart tone. Firm and vibrant but muscle-bound right now, the finishing notes suggesting cranberry and rhubarb. This ought to gain sweetness and flesh with a few years of benign neglect.’ |
