worth trying

Penfolds Shiraz-Mourvèdre Bin 2 750 ml AU $ 21
shiraz grenache blend - Barossa Valley is noted for Shiraz, Grenache or Mourvedre, Semillon and Riesling (Eden Valley). Give it a try. Likely to be a soft wine

Barwang Merlot 1998 750 ml AU $ 21

Penfolds Kalimna Bin 28 Shiraz 750 ml AU $ 30
Excellent Barossa siraz in the mid price range - I live near Kalimna road

Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz 1998 750 ml AU $ 30
Good premium shiraz from Orlando in their Jacobs Creek range. Tried this one in its first release year

Sandalford Shiraz 1999 750 ml AU $ 34
Yering Station Pinot Noir 2000 750 ml AU $ 36
Western Range Accord Shiraz 2001 750 ml AU $ 38

The McCrae Wood Shiraz 1999 750 ml AU $ 44
worth trying if you want to spend $44 but probably better ones for the price

Leasingham Classic Clare Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 750 ml AU $ 49
good higher priced wine

Lindemans Pyrus 1998 750 ml AU $ 58
Icon wine

Eileen Hardy Shiraz 1999 750 ml AU $ 99
Super icon wine - Won the Jimmy Watson Trophy one year - not sure which vintage but is an excellent wine if you want to spend this much

As for price ranges, statistically a "premium wine" is one over A$10, but I use the following price ranges $10 to $15 lower priced (premium) wines, $15 to $35 (medium) $35 + higher priced. There are also many drinkable wines in the $7 to $10 bracket as well.

But looking through the list there is probably not any I would not try!
