Penfold's Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2008: $8.99 Per Bottle ($107.88/Doz) FREE DELIVERY

50

Winemarket is having a pretty good special on Penfold's midrange Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2008 at $8.99 a bottle ($107.88) with free delivery Australia wide. They reckon the RRP is $21 but I regularly see it sitting around $15 in bottleshops.

Even so this is a good deal for one of the nicest reds you'll see at the $9 price point. Cheapest I can see online from a quick search is about $13 without delivery.

Since I found Winemarket on OzBargain I've used them to buy about five dozen bottles of wine. They always deliver on time and give you what they advertise, so I recommend them especially as their prices are great - they specialise in cancelled export orders and so forth.

  • Seems to be a fairly average mid to high 80's scoring wine. Wouldn't bother normally, but the price isn't too bad if I were after a cheap dozen to give out as presents or something :D

    "For wine, the ‘08 release of this makes a very good base for steak sauce. As a wine, it’s not very good. I thought Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet had turned a bit of a corner with ‘06 and ‘07 releases - they aren’t bad. This seems almost too plump and overtly fruity, at least at release, and with every winemaking trick seemingly used to make it as lifeless as possible (do Penfolds use MOx?). It almost tastes of Ribena. Nose is that famous “cheap wine” smell, whatever that is. Not very red wine like at all.

    Not knowing what to do with the rest of the bottle, because I simply couldn’t drink it with any enjoyable at a normal temperature, I chilled it a bit and drank it like one of those sweet Brown Brothers Syrah"

    On a seperate note, if any of the winoes know where to get cheap wine racks any advice would be appreciated.. cheers

    • Since they started using screwcaps, you'll probably see plenty of wine-racks on the next verge collection :-)
      (No need to store on side now.)

      • many premiums wines still appear to be using cork

  • You can get Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz/Cab Sav for about 8.50 a bottle at the moment at Dan Murphys. Just thought I'd throw that out there for people who dont want to buy a whole case.

    • thanks for that…

      Koonunga Hill is very easy drinking… Excellent value for money…

    Good for cooking, don't think I'll bother otherwise.

    • Have you actually tried it ???

      • Koonunga is very delicious for the price tag!

    Sorry to hear some negative comments. I haven't tried the '08 and was running on previous vintages.

    Koonunga Hill isn't a cellaring or gift wine, but in the past it has been quite good value to quaff at home. I'm not sure if others consider $20 wines as quaffers but for me, the $10 range is what I drink at home.

    living in the home state of this wine, it's a pretty standard price …

    personally, I'd rather opt for a cask of stanley's fine cab-sav

  • MUST BUY A WHOLE CASE FOR $107.88

    Cannot buy just ONE bottle.
