Penfolds St Henri Shiraz 2006

Blended of 89% Shiraz and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 St Henri Shiraz is a blend of 5 different South Australia sub-regions spanning from Robe to Clare Valley. Never seeing new oak, this vintage was aged 15 months in seasoned 1460 liter vats. Very deep garnet-purple coloured, it has a purely fruited nose giving notes of intense cassis, crushed blackberries, some kirsch, black pepper, baking spices and cloves. Full, rich and concentrated, it’s still a bit taut with very crisp acid and firm finely textured tannins, giving a long berry laced finish. 95+ Points Wine Advocate The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz 89%, Cabernet Sauvignon 4% Country – Australia Region – Barossa, McLaren Vale, Robe Vintage – 2006 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14.5%
