5 | Wine | South Australia, 2009

"Red cherry and raspberry aromas over tree bark, cinnamon stick and black pepper. Medium bodied with a good concentration of earthy berry flavors, it has crisp acid, grainy tannins and a long finish."

"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."

"Smoky dark berries and herbs on the perfumed nose, with a subtle licorice quality adding interest. Fresh and lively, offering good depth to its juicy blackberry and cherry flavors. Gains weight and spiciness on the finish, which delivers impressive thrust and snap."

"Smooth and velvety, this red is generous with its blackberry and tar flavors, hinting at smoke as the finish lingers enticingly."

"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."

"Complex bouquet of red berry preserves complemented by minerals, fresh flowers, anise and white pepper. At once rich and lively on the palate, offering sweet raspberry and candied rose flavors, a silky texture and strong mineral snap. There's a pinot-like clarity and energy here that I like. Finishes sweet and long, with the floral note echoing. This wine has a solid track record for aging."

"Winner’s Tank 2009 Shiraz presents a very deep purple-black color and intense nose of warm blackberry and blueberry preserves, mulberries and spice. Crisp, rich and full in the mouth, it gives medium-firm chewy tannins and a long warm-berry finish."
