KO! The deep, inky red color is the first thing that you’ll notice with this heavyweight contendah. It’s got some stout legs, too. Plums and raspberries in the nose with a tickle of nutmeg. A great spicy-sweet beginning gives way to a berry-licious center and a long, lingering cocoa finish. Gives a one-two punch with Shiraz (60%) boldness and Cab (40%) jamminess. If you like ’em big, this is your champion!

Penfolds Rawson’s Retreat Cabernet Sauvignon

Dusky and earthy with great depth of character. Dried cherries and cedar and a bit of smoke give it a heady aroma. Loads of flavor: tart raspberries tickle the tip of the tongue while the rest of it is coated in luscious licorice and leather. Rich and oh, so yummy. A wonderful choice if you like them big but not jammy.
