December 23, 2022 - Cabernet Sauvignon
of generic South Eastern Australia origin.
From range of wines named after founder Dr Christopher Rawson
Penfold's family cottage which he built in 1845, one year after
he planted his first vines on his property in Magill.
[Interesting aside: Probably due to the trade conflict betweeen
China and Australia, Treasury Wine Estates, which owns Penfolds,
has moved the production of the Rawson's Retreat range to
South Africa in 2021 using South African grapes but keeping the
packaging unchanged!]
13.5% Abv.
A(ccuray)=2: Deep ruby/garnet. Peppery mildly oaked Cab.
B(alance)=2: Indicative fruit with adequate structure.
C(omplexity)=1: Dark berries, spices, hint of vanilla.
D(epth)=1: Lifted mouthfeel. Average length and finish.
Wine Tally Score [2,2,2,1]= 7/10
Surprisingly agreeable mass market production.
