"This Cabernet bangs out deep earthy spice and booming dark berry fruit - performing like a world tour, taking center stage. This is definitely not a wine drinker's Highway to Hell - enjoy it with the music loud and like an AC/DC concert, it's perfect now but can also be re-lived over the next few years."

"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz displays pure cassis and black cherry cordial aromas underlying notes of aniseed, violets, pepper and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is voluptuous and wonderfully balanced between vibrant acid and a medium level of fine tannins. It finishes long and spicy and shows ageing potential."

"Deep red. Aromas of red fruits, rose, lavender and cracked pepper, with a smoky overtone. Tangy redcurrant and raspberry flavors show very good clarity and pick up a subtle floral pastille quality with air, along with a touch of botanical herbs. Closes with good energy and cut and a note of tangy berry."

"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."

"Supple, velvety and generous with its red berry, cherry and cream flavors, mingling on the long and easygoing finish."

"Glass-staining ruby. Smoke- and spice-accented aromas of cassis, cherry-cola and candied licorice show very good energy and a peppery nuance. Sweet, expansive and lively, offering potent dark fruit flavors and showing silky, seamless texture. Lingers on a spicy note, with excellent focus and tenacity."

"The power of the fruit is so enjoyable. It has a massive array of flavours, and awesome intensity but the thing that really finishes the wine off is the creamy layers and smooth mouth feel. It’s so voluptuous. Sweet, multi layered fruit, chocolate, fresh plum – a complete flavour spectrum."

"Deep crimson red with purple hues. Fresh blackcurrant and blackberry fruit aromas on the nose exuding typical Coonawarra characteristics. Hints of spice and liquorice balanced with nuances of cedar and vanilla from fine grain French oak. Generous ripe cassis flavours with tobacco leaf supported by subtle integration of oak leading to a rich, smooth finish."
