Anything from Moss Brothers in the Margaret River, WA.
www.mossbrothers.com.au
Particularly their Moses Rock Rose and Cabernet Merlot. Not cheap but really really good. I believe they are available in Sydney and Melbourne from certain shops.
We were over there a few years ago - these days - send an email, slightly burn the card a little and usually within a week the postie delivers - great people to deal with.

Been on some medication for a while, and have had to banish alcohol. Tonight will be my first sip in almost two weeks.
I've had my eye on a bottle of Beresford Shiraz. The 2004 is an absolute ripper, worth about three times what they sell it for I reckon.
Southeast Australia usually means Riverlands/Griffith area. About 2/3 of Australia's grapes are grown there, and most of that wine is exported or sold in bulk.
Bob, we do tend to keep the good stuff here, but you can sometimes find some of our better drops in the bottle shops in the US. Look for Penfolds, Katnook, Majella, Leasingham (OK, I'm partial to SA reds), I've seen all of those in the shelves in the US.

I opened a bottle of cheap French Syrah from 2000 - the in-laws and my darling were drinking it with me and they all know nothing about wine and couldn't detect a good one from a lump of 4x2. Plus the in-laws think everything French must be good, so they think I'm splurging on them when in fact I'm using up the stuff I don't like. I have about 12 or 13 cases cellared from '98 - '00, when I was buying a fair bit of wine to cellar. Now I'm not buying any and drinking my reserves, but most of it is ready to drink anyway so I'm not too concerned. It will be a sad day though when I run out. I usually drink the stuff I really like with friends that appreciate it. I rarely paid more than 20-25 a bottle for wine (always by the case), and if you choose wisely and cellar for 5 years plus you end up with a cheap cellar full of excellent wine. My favourites would be 2 cases (minus 2 or 3 bottles!) of '98 Coriole Shiraz, a mixed case of Charles Melton from about '98, and the case of mixed stickies that I put away in '99. These are turning into absolute crackers.

This is my first post - I think, I have already tried once on this thread so it might be my second.
I am drinking a 2005 Phillip Shaw No 17 Bordeax blend from Orange in NSW. An absolute delight for one so young although perhaps a little too much merlot for my taste.
I should also declare my interest in this subject. I own and operate a winery in Central Victoria - www.butterflycrossing.com.au - I know the label is another animal reference but I swear I wasn't aware of all the other critter labels when we came up this name (I was living and working in the middle of Africa and saving money to build the winery and wood working shop).

2005 Phillip Shaw No.17 from Orange in NSW. A delightful Bordeaux blend although perhaps a little too much merlot and not enough cabsav.
A 2005 St Anne's Vineyard shiraz/cabernet. Nice fruit, nice balance but not inspiring.
Both the above were freebies so I have no idea how much they cost.
I've also opened several bottles of Blamires Butterfly Crossing shiraz but that is because I make the stuff and when I am not in the workshop on weekends I am pouring wine in the cellar door of my other shed.
