Jenise, a good list with some interesting wines.
I'd try the Magpie, Kilikanoon and Ross, all wines I've had in the past and enjoyed although I can't remember specifics about them.

Agree about the Magpie.
Penfolds has a good one.

Jenise,
The 2001 Yalumba Tricentenary Vines was a very pleasant surprise for me. Consider giving it a shot, especialy if you are concerned about overipe and jammy features. It's just a hop and a skip accross the border @ $43.00cdn.
Cheers,
Francois

Hi Jenise,
First, you state that you
tend to dislike jammy, overripe flavors. If this is so, I recommend you don't bother buying Australian Grenache. Unless you have a fair bit of money to spend experimenting with Australian Grenache, look elsewhere.
Having stated that, I
hate jammy, overripe flavours and in general dislike Australian Grenache. However, I had the 2003 Greenock Cornerstone last week and enjoyed it very much, although not $US60 worth of enjoyment. It is in "sweeter" style, but these flavours were very well restrained by excellent winemaking.
Kind regards,
Adair
