Here's what Robert Parker has to say..

 A young turk, Troy Kalleske, seems to be obsessed with making a great name for his family’s Barossa Valley wines.  The Kalleske family owns a whopping 400 acres (sic) of vines in Barossa’s tenderloin section, the highly renowned Greenock region, where the conditions are extreme and the vines are stressed.  Most of the Kalleske fruit was sold off to larger companies until Troy recently decided to produce his own wines.  His brilliant 2006 Clarry’s White is a tank-fermented and aged blend of equal parts Chenin Blanc and Semillon.  Dry and refreshing with a spring flower garden-scentet bouquet, a light to medium-bodied style, crisp acidity, and abundant fruit, this is a terrific white to drink over the next 1-2 years.  The least expensive red, the 2005 Clarry’s Red is an old barrel-aged blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Shiraz.  It is an Australian version of a French Cotes du Rhone on steroids.  Delicious sweet cherry, strawberry, and framboise aromas along with hints of white pepper and spice soar from the glass of this yummy red.  Full-bodied, seductive and filled with pleasure, it is a classic, hedonistic, fruit-driven effort that admirably displays the purity of Barossa Valley fruit.  Drink this unmanipulated, uncomplicated 2005 over the next 2-3 years.  From vines planted in 1935, the 2004 Grenache Old Vine (100% Grenache aged in neutral French and American oak for two years) reveals a big, sweet nose of black raspberries, sweet cherries, pepper, spice, and resiny notes.  Rich, heady, and full-bodied with moderate alcohol for the vintage (15.5%), this long, evolved Grenache is best drunk over the next 4-5 years.  Another beauty, the 2005 Old Vine Grenache exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of black and red fruits, melted licorice, subtle dried Provencal herbs, a touch of pepper, a superb attack, an opulent mouthfeel, and a long, layered finish.  This brilliant Grenache should drink well for 5-6 years.  Produced from relatively young vines some of whose fruit is sold to Seppelt and Penfolds (sic), the 2004 Shiraz Greenock possesses an opaque purple color in addition to a gorgeously rich nose of toasty, smoky oak, interwoven with black raspberry, blackberry, and cassis fruit flavours.  Full-bodied, rich, and spicy, with no hard edges, it displays a generous dosage of American oak that is nearly over the top. Even more impressive, the 2005 Shiraz Greenock exhibits an inky/purple color, greater intensity, and additional roasted meat and gamy characteristics interwoven with pepper, crème de cassis, and blackberry liqueur.  The oak treatment is identical to the 2004, but that component seems more subdued in the 2005.  The 2005 should evolve and drink well for 10-15 years.  Kalleske’s top wine is the 150-case cuvee of Shiraz Johann Georg Old Vine from a 129-year-old vineyard.  Named after the first Kalleske, a native of Silesia (sic) who immigrated to Australia in 1838, it offers just about everything one could want in a Barossa Valley Shiraz.  Aged two years in new French and American 300 liter hogsheads, and produced from yields of one ton of fruit per acre, this cuvee is extraordinarily consistent in 2004 and 2005.  In fact, it’s hard to choose a favorite.  Both wines exhibit great intensity, inky/purple colors, and notes of creosote, camphor, blackberries, cassis, and subtle vanillin/pain grille notes.  Unbelievably unctuous and full-bodied, with stunning concentration, thrilling purity, and amazing length as well as richness, both of these vintages should evolve gracefully for 15+ years.

MANUEL DE CABANYES Crianza
This wine is made by Masia Sagué, a family operation in the Penedes region which is in the hills about 50km from Barcelona.
Until this year Masia Sagué wines were only available in Spain and, since the production is quite small, it was quite a coup for Nectar Wines to get an allocation.
The Manuel de Cabanyes is named after a famous 16th century Spanish romantic poet whose soulful portrait appears on the label.
It's a winning combination of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It has a sweet cherry nose and complex layers of soft red fruits in the mouth, with definite cinnamon and liquorice notes from the 15 months barrel ageing.

Domaine de Fontavin Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2000
Hélène and Michel Chouvet, the owners of Domaine de Fontavin, are seventh generation winemakers in the Southern Rhone Valley and know exactly what they are doing. Their approach is traditional, their respect for nature absolute and they let the terroir of their parcels of vines do the talking. I loved this dark and inky wine which has a pronounced spicy bouquet and which fills the mouth with rich raspberry-tinged flavours and nicely balanced tannins. It'll keep for another five years and develop well.
