Penley Estate 2006 Hyland Coonawarra Shiraz SAMay08 will sell for less than $20 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. Anyone who doesn't like Coonawarra Shiraz needs to buy a bottle of this wine; it will change your mind about the category. It opened up a little stinky but that quickly blew off to reveal attractive spices, vanilla and blackberry fruit. The tannins are fine, smooth and silky, and provide a soft consistency and solid structure for this ample-weight, harmonious wine. It's splendidly balanced and driven by massive amounts of pure, deep, strong, ripe fruit that delivers off-sweet flavours of black cherry, dark chocolate, spice, vanilla, mint and tar flavours that finish with terrific persistence. It's great value and has an attractive flavour profile. Rated as Recommended with **** for value drink over the next five years.
