NIGO, Penfolds first Creative Partner, has designed this collectible gift box to accompany Max’s Cabernet Sauvignon. A contemporary release of South Australian Cabernet Sauvignon, proudly displaying the Penfolds stamp. Rich, dark and full with savoury notes, varietal fruits and a substantial mid-palate.

Color: Lively deep crimson with garnet hues.
Aroma: Distinctive cabernet notes of bay leaf and blackberry leaf provide clear varietal markers. With a swirl, lifted aromatics of dark red cherries and mulberries jump from the glass. Behind the fruit, oak derived notes of cooking spices emerge, including cardamom, allspice and vanilla bean pod.
Taste: Blackberry and dark red cherry fruits follow onto the palate. An enticing, savoury profile. Cranberry and pomegranate succulence helps provide a sweet/sour dynamic. A combination of American and French oak offers a sweet char nuance. The oak doesn’t poke out or linger, rather sitting supportively with the fruit. The structural tannins are fine and grainy helping to drive the finish. The palate lingers from the delicious dense fruit and bracing tannins.
