Cabernet Sauvignon - 2021 Penfolds 'Koonunga Hill', Barossa Valley, South Australia

"If you want a BIG, bold Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. Then this is bang on!" - Carlos Santos

Our first and overdue Penfolds on the podcast and did you know that when a label reads "Cabernet Sauvignon" it only needs to be minimum 85% of what's labelled? Master Sommelier tastes a blend in this bottle and calls out the other famous grape variety he feels is in the mix. 

A great bottle to taste to realise what high alcohol wine tastes like and compare to a Pinot Noir for example.

Ever felt a bit lost staring at a wine list or wondering what you're actually tasting in your glass? Got Somme is here to help, without any of the pretence. This isn't a stuffy lecture; it's a conversation between Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and his mate, radio announcer Angus O'Loughlin, who's keen to learn but starting from scratch. Each episode, Carlos guides Angus-and by extension, all of us-through the fundamentals, breaking down everything from grape varieties and regional styles to understanding why a wine tastes the way it does. The real magic happens when they're joined by some of the world's most respected winemakers, who share the stories and craft behind their bottles. You'll hear Carlos explain how to pick a good wine from a bad one, demystifying terms like tannin and terroir along the way. It's an accessible, often funny journey into wine, perfect for anyone who enjoys a glass but wants to understand the world behind it. Produced by SESSION in PROGRESS, this podcast turns curiosity into genuine knowledge, one bottle at a time.
