2006 Sticks Shiraz Viognier
Shiraz-Viognier blends are all the rage. Sticks, made in the Yarra Valley, shows you don't have to pay the earth to learn what it's all about. Mulberry, plum, spice and a hint of must stick on the nose to precede a palate of silky texture, good intensity and moderate tannins.
Ageing? Drink over two years.
Food thought? Weisswurst with onions and mustard
4 stars, $$$ (A wine with a price tag that makes it a steal. Stock up on these; they usually don't last long)

2006 Sticks Shiraz Viognier wins GOLD at the 2007 Perth Wine Show
2004 Cabernet Merlot Petit Verdot
This cabernet blend from various regions amply illustrates the Sticks philosophy of value for money. It has a clean, pure nose of blackcurrant syrup, mulberries and dark chocolate, and the light-to-middleweight palate has plenty of smooth black fruit flavours in a balanced, friendly package. It finishes soft and seems best suited to be consumed young.
