Deep red with vibrant purple tinges.
Wine Bouquet
Enticing fruit aromas of ripe plum, cassis and a hint of liquorice allsorts along with subtle chocolate and spice from the oak maturation.
Wine Palate
A balanced medium bodied wine with a lively palate of juicy red berries, plum, cassis, chocolate and spice. The wine has a soft, supple feel with silky smooth tannins from oak maturation.
This is the quintessential Australian blend. The oh-so enjoyable combination of plum fruits and spicy pepper make it the perfect wine to take to a BBQ or your favourite pizza parlour.

Promised Land Shiraz Cabernet 200888/100Glen Frederiksen, Winelines Online (USA), October 2011
Aromas and flavors of eucalyptus, black licorice, flesh plums and currants. The wine is very smooth and approachable in the mouth. It is value-oriented red quaffers like this that fueled the Aussie wine invasion into the United States 15 years ago. A Wine Lines Best Buy.
Promised Land Shiraz Cabernet 200888 pointsWine Advocate (USA), November 2011
With its red-berry fruit tinged with tar and black olive, this is a complex, savory red available for a song. ItÆs medium in weight and creamy in texture, turning crisp and silky on the finish. Drink now.
