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. After all , it's shares the same stable as one of the most pricey wines globally , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
limited edition of this premium wine selling for $168,000 bucks a bottle. Restricted to a 12 bottle run (essentially they were not bottles, but blown glass 'ampoules' which have no screwcap, cork, or any seal at all), that could be a pretty hefty price ticket for any type of alcoholic drink. But according to all reports, for the lucky few that got to sample this wine, it was worth every cent.
Sadly if you are like me, a bottle of wine for that price is most likely not going t be sitting on my bench anytime soon. However , that does not mean you can't enjoy a Penfolds wine, and get that distinct Penfolds taste.
A wine that provides not only top shelf taste, but awesome good 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 didn't think a wine that tastes this good (and with the Penfolds label), may supply such excellent value. The price? $9.99. Yes, you read in the correct way. Only $9.99. One of the greatest things about Penfolds wines is they cater for all tastes and price ranges.
It's got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a distinct sweetness. While the residual taste is slightly green, it is not something that detracts from the overall quality and savor of the wine. Overall, at $9.99 a bottle, with the Penfolds name, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz is a wine worth pursuing - especially for fans of Shiraz in general.
