Penfolds Max’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine Australia

Experience the Essence of South Australia: Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Discover the vibrant character of this acclaimed South Australian red wine. Pouring a lively deep crimson with alluring garnet hues, this Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon immediately entices with its expressive bouquet. Distinct aromas of bay leaf and blackberry leaf signal classic varietal purity, quickly followed by lifted scents of dark red cherries and juicy mulberries. Delicate layers unfold to reveal sophisticated oak-derived notes – think warm cardamom, fragrant allspice, and sweet vanilla bean pod – adding complexity without overpowering the fruit.

On the palate, experience a captivating interplay of rich blackberry and dark cherry flavors. A unique savory edge emerges, beautifully complemented by the succulent sweetness and tang of cranberry and pomegranate nuances. Expertly integrated American and French oak provides a subtle sweet char character, supporting rather than dominating the dense fruit core. Fine, grainy tannins offer superb structure and drive a long, satisfying finish that lingers pleasantly. This balanced yet powerful wine showcases Penfolds’ signature craftsmanship.

Perfectly poised at 14.5% alcohol, this 2021 vintage is an excellent choice for immediate enjoyment alongside grilled meats or robust cheeses, yet possesses the structure to reward careful cellaring. Experience why Penfolds remains a benchmark for premium Australian Cabernet Sauvignon.
