"Deep purple black in color, the 2011 Red Silk Shiraz is scented of macerated black plums, crushed blackberries and black currants with underlying black pepper and Indian spice hints. Medium to full-bodied with plenty of youthful black berry and pepper flavors on offer in the mouth, it has a solid backbone of medium to firm grainy tannins and refreshing acidity, finishing with good length."

"Dark ruby. Spicy cherry and redcurrant scents are complicated by dusty herbs and minerals. Red fruit flavors are braced by zesty acidity and pick up bitter chocolate and anise accents with air. Finishes on a spicy note with good smoky persistence."

"Black core with magenta rim. Beautifully perfumed with earthy black fruits, subtle cracked pepper, vanilla and chocolate notes. Very inviting. Impressive burst of flavour with rich dark fruits and spice dominating the long palate. Finally rounded out by subtle vanilla char and long fine tannins."

"Deep purple-black in color, the 2011 Red Knot Shiraz has a nose of warm blackberries, blueberries and star anise with an undercurrent of baking spices and vanilla. Medium-bodied and generously fruited with juicy blackberry and spice box flavors, it has a medium level of rounded tannins and lively acid, finishing long."

"The classic Cabernet flavours will dominate, filling your mouth with currant, blackberry, cinnamon and cigar box flavours. As the wine warms the Cabernet blends with the Shiraz in perfect harmony and you see raspberry, spicy plum and aniseed."
