Red Knot Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 by Shingleback Australia, McLaren Vale.
Platinum Hill Limited Edition Shiraz 2006 Vintage by Platinum Hill Australia.
This is another series of wine from Platinum Hill I got on my wine rack collection. The combination of Dark Brown background and Gold Color text on the label gives a dark impression. As same as Merlot edition, the label is too simple which is using text only. I think they want to have a consistent design on the label. However I think this wine label has less stopping power for customer to buy from packaging point of view. For taste, I has not tasted this wine yet. I put this wine on my wine rack collection.

The combination of Red Maroon background and Gold Color text on the label gives a minimalist impression. Also, the label is too simple which is using text only.

Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2003 by Leeuwin Estate Western Australia.
Leeuwin Estate was established in 1969 by Denis and Tricia Horgan. The land was previously used as a cattle station and after having been purchased as part of a deal to buy a plumbing business by Denis Horgan, the land was converted to vineyards based on the advice of the Western Australian Department of Agriculture. Leeuwin Estate produces around 60,000 cases of wine each vintage and owns 121 acres of vineyards. Margaret River is the foremost Geographical Indication wine region in the South West Australia Zone, with nearly 5,500 hectares under vine and over 138 wineries as at 2008. Overall the climate is similar to that of Bordeaux in a dry vintage.
The bottom label is interesting. It looks like a combination of tree and music note. However, the middle label is too simple. I have not tasted this wine yet. I put it on my wine rack collection.
They have a website. Check it out:

Rosemount Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 by Rosemount Estate Australia.
Rosemount is an Australian winery based in Hunter Valley and South Australia, owned by Treasury Wine Estates. At the turn of the 20th to 21st century, Rosemount was the second best selling Australian wine brand in the US.
I like the diamond shape on the bottom of the bottle. It is unique. I don’t find other wine which have similar shape. Very creative.
I used to use this wine to marinate sirloin steak using this wine. I like it. I have several bottles. I put them on my wine rack collection.
They have a web site. Check it out.
