Penfolds 2018 Superblend 802.B Cabernet Shiraz
802.B varietal composition is close to evenly split with cabernet sauvignon contributing 55% and shiraz 45% of the blend respectively. The components were blended post vintage, completing 19 months maturation in French oak hogsheads. This wine will reward careful cellaring for several decades. An intriguing counterpoint to its American oak sibling.
