2013 Penfolds, Bin 389, Cabernet Shiraz, Australia

Description

A classic Bin 389, both in blend (51 percent Cabernet, 49 percent Shiraz) and taste: cassis, black pepper, mint and black cherry are evident on both nose and palate. A great example of the multi-region blending program at Penfolds, with fruit from the Barossa adding richness and texture, balance with some high quality, aromatic Cabernet from the Coonawarra. There is a pleasant touch of coconut from the American oak on the finish: very fine grained, this is a medium-term Bin 389 that will give great pleasure.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 91/100
Composed of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon and 49% Shiraz, the Cabernet / Shiraz Bin 389 has a deep garnet-purple color and a nose of cherry and blackberry with a cassis undercurrent plus touches of pencil lead, cedar and Mediterranean herbs. The palate delivers a structured style with a firm, taut backbone, great freshness and a long, iron ore-laced finish.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 30/09/2015

Penfolds

Penfolds enjoys an iconic status that few New World producers have achieved. Established in 1844 at the Magill Estate near Adelaide, it laid the foundation for fine wine production in Australia. The winemaking team is led by the masterful Peter Gago; it has the herculean task of blending the best wines from a multitude of different plots, vineyards and regions to create a consistent and outstanding range of wines. Its flagship wine, Grange, is firmly established as one of the finest red wines in the world. Under Gago’s stewardship, the Penfolds range has evolved over time. Winemaking has moved away from New World heat and the sort of larger-than-life style that can mask individuality; the contemporary wines instead favour fine balance and typicity for the region or grape.
