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 amongst the most pricey wines internationally , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
limited edition of this premium wine selling for $168,000 bucks a bottle. Limited 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 sure is a pretty sizeable price tag for any sort of alcoholic drink. But according to all reports, for the fortunate few that got to taste this wine, it was worth every cent.
Sadly if you're like me, a bottle of wine for that price is most likely not going t be sitting on my bench soon. Nevertheless that doesn't 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 value for money, is this Penfolds wine. Originating from vineyard in the Barossa Valley, a bottle of this Shiraz This wine must be tasted to be credited. I never imagined 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 top things about Penfolds wines is they cater for all tastes and price ranges.
It has 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 disparages 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 following - especially for fans of Shiraz generally.
