    Penley Estate 2009 Reserve Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra)

    Despite the relatively high alcohol, this comes across as a fairly classic Coonawarra Cabernet. Mint accents chocolate and cassis, and the wine is full bodied yet still seems a bit restrained on the palate. Firm tannins frame the dusty, appropriately drying finish. Drink 2016–2025.
