Penley Estate 2010 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)

Country: Australia / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon South Australia
Winery: Penley Estate / Coonawarra

This wine shows a more savory side of Cabernet Sauvignon without being in any way underripe or malnourished. It’s a big, ripe wine, but the mulberry and cassis fruit is marked by cinnamon and clove shadings. It finishes lush, velvety and warm, with hints of chocolaty richness. This should drink well through at least 2024, and possibly for longer if it firms up a little.
