Country: Australia / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Penley Estate / Coonawarra
Penley’s Reserve Cabernet sees 100% new French oak, but handles it well, blending coffee and brown sugar elements with fruitier notes of plum and a hint of mint. It’s full-bodied and lushly textured, with smoky, cedary oak wrapped around a core of dark fruit. Drink now–2016.
