I would give this beauty another three to five years in the cellar.

The Zonte's Footstep Excalibur is a richly layered, complex Sauvignon Blanc with all of those characteristics, including elegance. The 2008 rendition is especially impressive (I'm not sure that I can remember a better one), offering excellent concentration and depth of flavor backed by serious structure, yet the wine is already thoroughly enjoyable if given some air and paired with food.

Penfolds, South Australia (Australia) Shiraz/Cabernet "Koonunga Hill" 2005 ($12, FWE Imports): Fully-fruited, with an almost opulent bouquet and deep, satisfying flavors, this wine offers a lot of bang for not many bucks.

There are two primary styles of Semillon made in Australia: a lean, high acid austere style that is crisp and refreshing when young and delightfully comoplex with age; and a juicy, fruit-forward style that is a bit honied and offeres aromas of yellow fruits.

A hint of mint and licorice against a rich black-fruit backdrop add just the right touch of spice to this inexpensive yet complex Shiraz from one of the Barossa's top producers. Paringa, South Australia (Australia) Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 ($11, Quintessential): The quality/price ratio makes the 2012 Paringa well worth seeking out.

Angove's, Clare Valley (South Australia, Australia) Riesling "Vineyard Select" 2005 ($18, Trinchero Vineyards): Well made Riesling from Australia's Clare Valley is one of the world's most versatile, food-friendly wines, and this is certainly a well made rendition. The flavors are quite open and generous, yet the wine finishes with lots of tannic grip, and I have no doubt that it will continue to improve if cellared for a full decade.
Elegant on the palate, almost racy-mineral flow in the attack and course, uncommonly deeply staggered delicacy. Over time, if this Riesling tracks the way other Lehmann Rieslings have, a bit of honey and brioche will emerge and the minerality will intensify on the nose.

Elderton, Barossa Valley (South Australia) "Tantalus" 2004 ($13, The Australian Premium Wine Collection): Elderton is certainly one of the giants of the Barossa Valley and is riding high on the reputation of its signature wine, the Command Shiraz, but it does the little things well, too.
