Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz - Cabernet Sauvignon, South Australia (750ml)

Deep crimson with red brick hues. A lovely amalgam of varietal notes, Shiraz offering plenty of dark fruit, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides lovely cool lifted aromas. A gentle swirl reveals preserved plums, fresh mulberry with pouring cream, cherry compote, milk chocolate, baking spices, fresh bay leaf, subtle white pepper and licorice. The palate is quite succulent, with lovely refreshing acidity and subtle tannins holding the fruit together beautifully. Ripe red fruits offer richness on the mid-palate, with flavors of dark cherry, pomegranate, and cranberry. Savory, charcuterie meats add a lovely savory, umami edge. Softly textured, medium bodied and very approachable.
