Jammy on the nose with deep notes of plum, currant and a whack of vanilla oak all topped with plenty of cracked black pepper. Pretty well balanced in the mouth though this lacks a little cohesiveness. The fruit is a bit mild compared to the nose and shows decent freshness and some nice blue streaks along with notes of pepper and herb. The tannins are fairly soft though the acidity seems to be the disjointed culprit. A crowd pleaser, with a fairly long if slightly sticky finish. 85pts

The Red Knot Shiraz is an excellent powerful and fruity wine. The price value of this Shiraz simply cannot be beat. It has a nicely wet texture and leaves a very pleasant taste on the tongue. Highly recommend.

    Pretty standard australian shiraz. Very drinkable, but nothing surprising here.

    A well-blended and rich Shiraz with enough bite and warmth.

    Right off the bat you see a deep magenta color in the glass. Fragrant aromas of blackberry and black forest cake with hints of citrus blossom and subtle cashew oak fill the nose. The textured, dark berry fruit palate is alive with black pepper and licorice nuances. Chewy tannins coat the tongue and define the long, lingering finish.

    Red Knot reflects the typical big-bodied shiraz from South Australia with dark fruits and peppery black cherry on the nose and palate.

    Colour: Deep red with youthful purple tints.Aromas: Powerful ripe strawberry and blackberry aromas and added complexity with hints of spice, chocolate and savory American oak.Flavours: The sweet strawberry mid palate is balanced with fresh acidity and lingering richly toasted oak. A full bodied wine with luscious fruit that is enticing in its youth, but will also reward 2-3 years in the cellar.

    Firm, with tart balance to the rhubarb and blackberry flavors, finishing bright. Drink now through 2008.

    Cinnamon-clove aromas on the nose. The wine has dry tannins in the mouth and very solid, taut cherry and plum fruit, with dusty pencil-eraser accents. Would pair well with grilled food, or just about anything in barbecue sauce.
