The opaque purple 2005 Shiraz Special Select is made in an elegant style. The nose delivers smoke, pepper, leather, and blueberry leading to a silky textured Shiraz with attractive spicy flavors but which could use a bit more depth. Drink it over the next five years. Penley Estate, established in 1988, is one of Coonawarra's leading wine estates. Importer: Gavin Speight, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; www.penley.com.au

This is a rich, ripe style of Coonawarra Shiraz, amply framed by toasty, cedary oak. The tannins are supple to the point of creaminess, the slightly stewed fruits graced with just a hint of mint. Best from 2010–2015, maybe a few years more.——J.C.(8/1/2009)—— 90
