(Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Cellar Reserve, Barossa Valley) The Cellar Reserve wines are some of Penfolds’ best—not always priced at the top end, but available only in small quantities. This Cabernet is made from old, ungrafted vines that produce an intense, spicy, mentholated, rich wine of great complexity and balance. Extremely classy. Hot Picks

A casual appreciation: the cab/shiraz blend was drinking beautifully after decanting for an hour. Big fruit, mouth-watering, and a long finish. Would benefit even more by some more time in the cellar but a definite keeper.
