2005 Special Select Shiraz- 94
Points
James Halliday's Wine Companion 2008
"Great colour, a very oaky bouquet but an abundance of ripe, dark fruits
and even a little fruitcake spice"
2006 Condor
Shiraz Cabernet
Matthew Jukes, Portavin TouchWine Launch August 2008
"As big birds go, the Condor's the king and Kym's classic Aussie
blend is one of his very best wines. The seamless knit between these two
grapes shows just how wonderful this partnership is- Penley is flying high"
2006 Phoenix
Caberbet
Matthew Jukes, Portavin
TouchWine Launch August 2008
"Phoenix cab is a wonderfully balanced wine with fruit, oak and
tannin in perfect harmony"
2006 Phoenix Cabernet - 93 Points
Nick Stock, WBM Magazine, June 2008
"Rich Coonawarra Cabernet
aromas, class and definition. A bright core of ripe berries some leave and
herb complexity, finely balanced and eminently drinkable.
2006 Phoenix Cabernet
John Fordham, The Daily Telegraph, 25th May 2008
"Heading Penley's releases, all
from 2006, are four knockout red. Rich full bodied and elegant, the present
the highest standards in Coonawarra red winemaking. If asked to separate a
favourite, Id probably lean towards the Phoenix, a benchmark bottling from
this renowned cabernet region".
2005 Gryphon Merlot - 91 Points/ Four Stars
Nick Bullied/ Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine, April 2008
""Generous, we liken the full
fruit flavour and soft, round balance. The Coonawarra origin shows in the
wines elegance and fine tannins".
2005 Phoenix Cabernet
Paddy Kendler, Herald Sun, November 20th 2007
"A smart expression of
Coonawarra cabernet featuring all the desirable flavours of the grape within
a drink now structure. Benchmark Stuff"
2004 Chertsey
Nick Stock, Qantas Magazine, October 2007
"A new wine, this cabernet
based blend of the classic Bordeaux recipe trading on ripe fruits, mint,
dark spices and cedary oak. The palate possesses finesse,
balance and points".
2005 Condor Shiraz Cabernet - TOP 100
Matthew Jukes TOP 100 Australian Wines 2007
"Smooth, sexy, sultry and
charming. A seamlessly blended red that delivers the best of Australia on
one glass"
