Penfolds, The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz other_regions_italy The suave and highly seductiveThis brand new Penfolds label pays homage to Grange founder, Max Schubert. Deep garnet purple in color, the 2012 The Max Schubert Cabernet Shiraz offers a slowly evolving, complex nose with baked berry, cassis and cedar notes over spice box and earth hints.
