Bin 600 is intrinsically linked to Penfolds beginning in California — a narrative that now spans three decades. In 1998, Penfolds imported a heritage selection of vine cuttings from South Australia’s esteemed Kalimna and Magill Estate vineyards and planted them in Californian soil. The original name of the Camatta Hills vineyard was called Creston ‘600’ Ranch, a special place in the Penfolds California timeline for it serves as a reference point to the start of our American journey. Creston Ranch is now honoured in the wine’s name, Bin 600. In recognition of Penfolds history within our Californian wine story, grapes from the original 1998 vine cuttings feature in this Cabernet Shiraz blend. A blend that has been revered and championed by Penfolds in our modern winemaking era.

Additional details
Nose:
Aromatically vibrant and expressive, led by pomegranate and juicy red plum, layered with raspberry, cranberry and açai berry. Savoury Mediterranean notes of herbes de Provence and fennel sit alongside white pepper and clove, adding lift and complexity. Caramel and creamy oak weave through subtle richness, complemented by accents of drinking chocolate and soft liquorice.
Palate:
Generous and well balanced, combining red fruit brightness with savoury spice and restrained sweetness. Texture is chewy and satisfying, framed by lifted yet harmonious acidity that keeps the wine energetic and composed. The finish is persistent and assured, leaving a sense of balance, drive and generosity that reflects the blend’s Napa Valley structure and Paso Robles warmth.
Varietal Composition:
Cabernet Sauvignon (73%) and Shiraz (27%)
