Penley Estate
Phoenix Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, South Australia, Australia
A wine meant to be drunk young ish for sure.
Light nose of black currant
Ripe blackberry, lady grey tea, horehound and other like roots, thicker body, yet somehow not as rounded as it should be.
An okay wine for first night.
Happy Hanukkah friends - !

Gave this two hours to open open before pairing with beef tenderloin with mushrooms and a mustard sauce. Full and ripe with berries, cassis, and a faint tannic grip. Not complex and the finish was a bit short, but tasted good none the less.

Points for sheer complexity even if not my style. Loads of bell pepper, eucalyptus, bay leaf, pencil shavings, and blackberries. Needs time or rich food. It’s a lot of wine for $25.

2016 vintage. Not bad. Should have cellared it for a few years.

Dramatic label. Underwhelming wine. Soft and lacking structure or much interest
