Penfolds Redemption Episode | Penfolds Max's Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Review30 Jun33 min

<p>This week, we&#39;re kicking off our Australian wine challenge with a bottle recommended by you, our listeners.</p><p><br></p><p>After our infamous Yellow Tail review stirred up plenty of passionate responses from Australia, we knew we had to come back with an open mind. Enter the 2022 Penfolds Max&#39;s Cabernet Sauvignon from South Australia (14.5% ABV, $18-22).</p><p><br></p><p>Along the way, we explore why it&#39;s a mistake to judge an entire wine region by a single bottle, why Cabernet and Shiraz can taste dramatically different even when they&#39;re grown in the same country, and how understanding the grape can be just as important as understanding where it came from.</p><p><br></p><p>Most importantly, we ask a bigger question: are we finally discovering the sweet spot for value wines, or is finding great wine under $17 still just a game of chance?</p><p><br></p><p>Support the show and help keep the wine flowing!</p><p><strong>Buy us a glass!</strong></p><p><strong></strong><a href="https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/cheers3⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with the show.
