Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The color is bright with deep crimson and some purple tints. The aroma has a striking berry character with richness of fruit due to the ideal weather, average yields and late harvest. This is added together with strong smoky oak tones, which highlight the intense nature of the Penley style. The desired level of sugar and flavor was reached. The palate is rich with sweet berry flavors and strong oak and grape tannins, to balance and meld with this years strong flavors. The key elements in this wine are its rich varietal flavors, choice of oak types, finely tuned acid and astringency. The use of 20% American and 80% French Troncais oaks add depth and complexity. It spent 24 months in this oak (98%being new) this is a key to the integration and development. Bottled July 2006. A complex wine that shows a deep and ripe palate . Flavor depth and length dominates they style this year. Best defined as medium to full bodied from a great year.

Professional Ratings

92 Wine Enthusiast
Penley's Reserve Cabernet sees 100% new French oak, but handles it well, blending coffee and brown sugar elements with fruitier notes of plum and a hint of mint. It's full-bodied and lushly textured, with smoky, cedary oak wrapped around a core of dark fruit. Drink now–2016.
91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon spent 24 months in 100% new French oak. A saturated purple color, it presents an aromatic array of pain grille, graphite, espresso, black currant, and blackberry. While full-bodied, it shows some elegance and restraint. It has plenty of fine-grained tannin to complement the fruit and will continue to blossom over the next 4 years. Drink it from 2012 to 2021.
90 Wine & Spirits
Black and constricted around its meaty scents of game, this takes time to reveal its cassis-like fruit. Mouthwatering acidity lengthens the earthy tannin. For wintry roasts.

Penley Estate is located in the center of Australia's most famous Cabernet region: Coonawarra. Continuing a family tradition that spans five generations, the winery was established in 1988 when the Tolley children continued the winemaking heritage of their pioneering families, Penfold and Tolley, both storied names in the Australian wine industry. In 1844, Mary Penfold defied stereotypes and was the driving force behind the establishment of McGill Estate. Similarly, from 1948-1961, Gladys Penfold Hyland was Penfold's Chairman of the Board. Their descendants, sisters Bec and Ang Tolley, run Penley Estate, proudly channeling the vim and might of their ancestors. Penley Estate's 240 acres of vineyards were planted atop Coonawarra's "terra rossa" soils with the aim of producing terroir-driven wines with distinctive regional character, and is now regarded as one of the region's leading Cabernet and Shiraz producers
