When a wine is born, it is given a name. When the word 'Penfolds' appears in that name, the wine has a lot to live up to. In fact , it's shares the same stable as amongst the most pricey wines internationally , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
limited edition of this premium wine selling for $168,000 dollars a bottle. Restricted to a 12 bottle run (actually they were not bottles, but blown glass 'ampoules' which have no screwcap, cork, or any seal at all), that's a pretty hefty price tag for any type of alcoholic libation. But according to all reports, for the fortunate few that got to sample this wine, it was worth every cent.
Unfortunately if you're like me, a bottle of wine for that price is probably not going t be sitting on my bench any time soon. Nonetheless that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a Penfolds wine, and get that distinct Penfolds taste.
A wine that provides not only top shelf taste, but incredible excellent value, is the Penfolds Shiraz. Originating from vineyard in the Barossa Valley, a bottle of this Shiraz This wine needs to be tasted to be credited. I never thought a wine that tastes this good (and with the Penfolds label), might provide such excellent value. The price? $9.99. Yes, you read in the correct way. Only $9.99. One of the top things about Penfolds wines is that they cater for all tastes and costs.
It has got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a distinct sweetness. Whilst the after-taste is barely green, it isn't something that detracts from the overall quality and taste of the wine. Overall, at $9.99 a bottle, with the Penfolds name, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz is a wine worth pursuing - particularly for fans of Shiraz in general.
