Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Merlot, 13.5%
Code: 9310297644971
Koonunga Hill draws Cabernet and Merlot grapes from praiseworthy vineyards in the McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and the Limestone Coast. The wine makes moderate use of oak maturation to frame the natural structure and flavours of the components, whilst retaining the inimitable Penfold styling. A full flavoured, fruit driven wine, wonderfully forward drinking, Koonunga Hill expresses the clear, bright, fruit and fine grained tannins of the assertive Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the gentle plummyness of the affable Merlot. The assertive black olive and dark berry characters of Cabernet, along with its hallmark tannin structures dominate the fore-palate and finish, whilst softer, plum-like Merlot characters fill the middle. The wine is enhanced and supported by balanced, savoury oak, with an enchanting fruit succulence throughout.
