Penley Estate 2006 Phoenix Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon SAMay08
will retail for the less than $20 when it is released and is sealed under
screwcap. The attractive, floral, perfumed aromatics are very diverse. Silky,
powdery tannins currently dominate the deeply-seated, ripe fruit but the wine is
in balance and well constructed. Blackberry, plum, loads of chocolate, mocha and
herb flavours finish with respectable length. A medium-weight, supple wine that
sits well in the mouth, the structure is tight and the complexity very
agreeable. It can be found for as low as $17 which makes it sensational value,
and at that price it would be rated as Recommended with ***** for value. A few
years in the cellar will be amply rewarded. This wine represents approximately
50% of Penley's production. That's no surprise as it a stunningly good wine for
the price.
