About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet SauvignonPairs well with BeefWith a history dating back to 1976, the Koonunga Hill range are a great reflection of the Penfolds style and philosophy. The Cabernet Sauvignon, with a large portion of fruit coming from Coonawarra, shows lovely cassis and ripe blackcurrant aromas and flavours and will always benefit with some medium term cellaring.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

The nose shows varietal, leafy Cabernet notes, touches of rhubarb, mint, clove and fresh tea leaf. Background aromas of cold meats gain a lift from cedary, balanced oak. A tightly structured palate of red fruits ? currants, cherries, and a mouth-watering crisp acidity leaves the palate wanting more. Obvious, up-front Cabernet tannins fill the palate with balanced, well integrated cedary oak adding to the finish.
