Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 - This is not the regular 2006 Koonunga Hill, which got 91 points from The Wine Advocate, but rather a limited version produced to commemorate the first release of Koonunga Hill in 1976. This version was only available at the cellar doors at Magill and Nuriootpa, plus a few restaurants, and the tell tale difference are the words "Vintage 2006 Limited Release" in the top left corner. Made from 70% Shiraz and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon this blend includes a little something from Bin 28 and is partly aged in new American oak along with the usual second uses. The nose is earthy, savouy and dusty. It's drinking well now and shows extracted blackberry and blackcurrant on the palate. It finishes with a fresh acidity and well integrated tannins. A steal for 10 bucks!
