Tasting Notes

The 2007 Plexus Grenache (28%)-Shiraz (51%)-Mourvedre (21%) was aged for 16 months in predominantly seasoned French oak. It is dark ruby-colored with a perfumed nose of cedar, tobacco, lavender, kirsch, and black cherry. Velvety-textured, rich, and concentrated, it is packed with flavor, is impeccably balanced, and will drink well for a decade.

John Duval was the principal winemaker at Penfolds Grange from 1986 to 2002.

Jay Miller, Wine Advocate (186), December 2009

Creamy in texture, this is ripe with cherry, pomegranate, ash and black pepper flavours, persisting nicely on
the long, expressive finish.
