Winemaker Notes: The biggest Little Penguin wine has an awesome ruby red color and the scent of fresh berries. The palate jumps with sweet Australian Cabernet fruit, soft background tannins and a great taste that lingers. An age-worthy Cabernet that drinks beautifully now. Ideal with grilled meats, poultry, hard cheeses and pasta.
My notes: This was on the list of looks solid and it has a penguin on it! buy. It's smell was all cherries, that classic berry fruit, you'd expect with this red. It had that classic good Cab smell, slight blackberry, mocha, barely any mint and then slight hints of cidar box. It's taste totally threw me off guard, it was actually kind of sweet but not overly sweet, like a sweet you enjoy and doesn't overpower everything. It really did not have that big Cab taste I expected. Slight sour cherries but also kind of marchino cherry. It was swet on the mouth feel which is what kept me intrigued. There was a slight burn on the after taste that went away as it aired. It was solid cab with a Strawberry syrupt taste. I really liked this, despite its slight sugar. The BBQ that it suggests to be paired with actually brought out the big Red Cab you'd expect, very tart. I will definitely be buying this again.
