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. Of course , it's shares the same stable as amongst the most costly wines globally , 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 (basically they were not bottles, but blown glass 'ampoules' which have no screwcap, cork, or any seal at all), that could be a pretty serious price ticket for any kind of alcoholic beverage. But according to all reports, for the fortunate few that got to taste this wine, it was worth each cent.
Unfortunately if you're like me, a bottle of wine for that price is most probably not going t be sitting on my bench anytime soon. Nevertheless 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 value for money, is the Penfolds Shiraz. Originating from vineyard in the Barossa Valley, a bottle of this Shiraz This wine has to be tasted to be believed. I didn't think a wine that tastes this good (and with the Penfolds label), may supply such good 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 price breaks.
It has got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a distinct sweetness. While the aftertaste is slightly green, it is not something that detracts from the quality and flavor 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.
