You absolutely know Penfolds as an Australian vineyard with each heavy hitters and on a regular basis drinkers in its arsenal, however of late the Aussie empire has stretched its arms to California winemaking, too.
This mix of 66% cabernet sauvignon and 34% shiraz is a reported 20-year-long endeavor and is the results of (some) grapes grown in California which had been planted from Australian cuttings, alongside different fruit from across the state.
Boldly minty on the assault, this can be a wine for the fan of massive, herbaceous bottlings of aggressive varietals. Overtones of rosemary, dried sage, and cigar tobacco leaf kick issues off, lingering eternally earlier than an enormous end that evokes roast beef and occasional, till spicy menthol takes over middle stage. The natural overtones are countless, however fairly interesting if paired with the fitting meal.
