Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2013
W Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange.
First made in 1960, by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped to forge Penfolds solid reputation with red wine drinkers combining the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the richness of Shiraz. Bin 389 also exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.
“Remarkable purity, power and finesse with candied violet, blueberry fruits, smooth even tannins, richness and oak complexity.” – Josh Raynolds, USA Wine Writer
