Description

A wine intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginning in California. In 1998, Penfolds planted vine cuttings from South Australia in Californian soil. Grapes from the original vine cuttings feature in this blend, along with fruit from the Napa Valley.  Explore a beautiful core of generous red, blue and black fruits.

There is a beautiful core of generous red, blue and black fruits. Summer berry pudding with anglaise. Rhubarb tart, apple and cinnamon strudel, Morello cherries. Shiraz plays a more important role here than on the aromatic profile by anchoring the mid-palate and providing plenty of generosity. Yin to the cabernet Yang. Fine talc-like tannins hold the expressive fruit in check, while soft acidity keeps everything in balance. Very approachable now, but with the promise of more to come.
