"It presents a deep garnet-purple color and notes of blackberry and blueberry preserves with some raisins, violets, peach blossoms and baking spices. Rich, ripe, and nicely balanced, it’s full bodied with firm grainy tannins, crisp acid and a long finish."

"Very deep garnet-purple colored, the 2009 Shiraz has a pronounced nose of blackberry compote, blackcurrant cordial and chocolate box with touches of dried mulberries and mint. Concentrated on the medium to full bodied palate, the rich expressive fruit is nicely structured with firm chewy tannins and crisp acidity, finishing long."

"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."

"Purple-colored, it offers an alluring bouquet of spice box, black cherry, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. This leads to a concentrated, ripe, layered wine with excellent depth and length."

"Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2011 Sexy Beast Cabernet Sauvignon is scented of violets, pure cassis, chocolate and exotic spices with hints of cumin and cardamom. Medium to full-bodied and taut in the mouth, it offers a medium level of finely grained tannins and lively acid supporting the generous if slightly straightforward fruit flavors, finishing with good length."
