Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mourvèdre

A vibrant and fruit-focused blend of fragrant appeal and spicy, peppery interest. Tangy berry compote fruit and firm, fine tannins open up in time to impressively lifted violet top notes, ultimately finishing somewhat short and simple. 89% shiraz and 11% mataro from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Padthaway, matured in older American oak hogsheads and some larger format vats. Price drop from $38 to $30 this year. $29 at Dan’s.
