Penley Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra Phoenix 2020 (93 points, $20)
An elegant version, with firm earthy notes to the star anise, green cardamom and cigar box spiciness, backed by a touch of Dutch cocoa powder. Reveals spiced plum, cassis and kirsch flavors that are plump and velvety, with a long finish. Drink now through 2030. 7,000 cases imported. From Australia.—MaryAnn Worobiec
