4 | Wine | Mclaren Vale, 86 to 90, 2011

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
