Penfolds 2019 Max’s Cabernet Sauvignon

Penfolds Max’s South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert, a legend in Penfolds’ history. Tempting aromatics hint at the classic Cabernet Sauvignon expression to come. It’s packed with dark fruit and savory red fruit character, and lined with exotic spice and dark licorice notes for a full-bodied and complex delivery. Maxs constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps. Since 1844, Penfolds has been grounded in experimentation, curiosity, and uncompromising quality. Founded in Australia by Dr. Christopher Penfold, a medical practitioner, and his wife Mary, Penfolds is one of the most renowned and iconic wineries in the world today.

Tasting Notes

Taut in texture, fine tannin with a savoury profile. Cranberry represents the red fruit spectrum, with lingering flavours of yellow plum, bay leaf and sage. Root vegetable earthiness is evident on the finish. Structurally framed by beautifully integrated French and American oak, present but rarely mentioned.
