88 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. Lithe and appealing for its gentleness, focusing its raspberry, currant and dusky herb flavors into a lovely beam that shines through a refined finish.

87 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '04 Penfolds Koonunga Cab shows ripeness on the nose, and fresh black currant, coffee and black olive flavors. Supple tannins makes this a good wine to pair with steak.

The Penfolds Rawson's Retreat is a ready-to-drink Cabernet. A very good quaffer with medium red meat entrees.
