Penley Estate Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, Australia 2021

Description

Wine Enthusiast 92

 "The dusty, iron-rich terra rossa soils show on this Coonawarra Cab. There's brambly blackberry and black-cherry fruit along with warm earth-meets-iodine vibes and some minty, peppery nuances, too. Lifted acidity and chalky, saliva-zapping tannins dominate the palate. There's fruit and spice, too—they just need time to come to the fore. Drink with rare protein or cellar up to around 2035."

James Suckling 92

Notes of ripe dark fruit with hints of eucalyptus, cedar, leafy herbs and wet stones. Medium-bodied with polished tannins. Juicy and fresh with crunchy berry fruit and blue flowers. Gentle, but long. Drink now. Screw cap.
