When a wine is born, it is given a name. When the word 'Penfolds' appears in that name, the wine has a lot to measure up to. In fact , it's shares the same stable as one of the most costly wines in the world , Penfolds Grange, with the 2004Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon
short edition of this premium wine selling for $168,000 dollars a bottle. Limited to a 12 bottle run (actually they weren't bottles, but blown glass 'ampoules' which have no screwcap, cork, or any seal at all), that could be a pretty hefty 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 probably 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 awesome value for money, is this Penfolds wine. Originating from vineyard in the Barossa Valley, a bottle of this Shiraz This wine has to be tasted to be credited. I didn't think a wine that tastes this good (and with the Penfolds label), could provide such excellent value. The price? $9.99. Yes, you read correctly. Only $9.99. One of the great things about Penfolds wines is that they cater for all tastes and price ranges.
It's got a full bodied taste, with berry overtones and a definite sweetness. While the residual taste is slightly green, it is not something that downplays the final 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 pursuing - especially for fans of Shiraz generally.
