Penfolds, South Australia (Australia) Shiraz/Mourvèdre “Bin 2” 2009

($15, FWE Imports):  It’s incredible that Penfolds, with its vast line-up of wines from its flagship Grange at $400 a bottle to ones like this, rarely gets it wrong.  This polished blend marries fruity plumy notes with savory gamy ones.  It is supple, yet not soft.  It has plenty of stuffing without being overdone, which makes it a good choice for the grilling season. 90 Michael Apstein May 17, 2011
