Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple, the 2013 Steyning Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive crème de cassis, blackberry pie and menthol notes with hints of cigar boxes, sandalwood and yeast extract. Medium to full-bodied, the concentrated, minty black berry and savory flavors fill the mouth, supported by finely grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and layered.

Wine Spectator
This fresh red has a juicy thread and a fragrant note of peppermint oil to highlight the core of wild blackberry, cassis and robust cigar box flavors. Generous and expressive, showing harmony on the finish. Drink now through 2030.
Penley Estate is located in the center of Australia's most famous Cabernet region: Coonawarra. Continuing a family tradition that spans five generations, the winery was established in 1988 when the Tolley children continued the winemaking heritage of their pioneering families, Penfold and Tolley, both storied names in the Australian wine industry. In 1844, Mary Penfold defied stereotypes and was the driving force behind the establishment of McGill Estate. Similarly, from 1948-1961, Gladys Penfold Hyland was Penfold's Chairman of the Board. Their descendants, sisters Bec and Ang Tolley, run Penley Estate, proudly channeling the vim and might of their ancestors. Penley Estate's 240 acres of vineyards were planted atop Coonawarra's "terra rossa" soils with the aim of producing terroir-driven wines with distinctive regional character, and is now regarded as one of the region's leading Cabernet and Shiraz producers
