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 expensive wines in the world , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
short 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 sure is a pretty hefty price tag for any sort of alcoholic libation. But according to all reports, for the lucky few that got to taste this wine, it was worth every cent.
Unfortunately if you are like me, a bottle of wine for that price is probably not going t be sitting on my bench soon. Nonetheless 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 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 great things about Penfolds wines is they cater for all tastes and costs.
It's got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a distinct sweetness. While the residual taste is a touch 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 chasing - particularly for fans of Shiraz generally.
