The Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2022 is a highly-rated South Australian red, a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) and Shiraz (49%), showcasing rich cassis, blackberry, and cocoa notes with firm tannins and oak influence, reflecting its "Baby Grange" reputation for structure, depth, and long aging potential, drawing fruit from regions like McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley, and aging in American oak.
This is a delightful 2022 Bin 389, a blend of 51% Cabernet and 49% Shiraz fruit from Mclaren Vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonnbully. The 2022 is a benchmark vintage - effortless with effusive aromas of cassis, licorice and blackberry topped by a nice touch of graphite. Classically styled, with a firm base of tannins and vibrant flavors that nicely balance the finish that just goes on and on. A little shy right now, but everything is in its perfect place for a long and distinguished future.
