2018 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz

Perfect marriage of the two varieties, Cabernet and Shiraz. Sixty years of practice!

Harmonious. Not disparate ... varietally balanced and focussed.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

Hints of toasted coconut accent big cassis aromas on the nose of the 2018 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, which is a 57-43 blend this vintage.

Full-bodied, with cherry flesh complementing the sterner cassis and tobacco notes, it's supple enough to be approachable now, yet with the concentration and requisite dusty tannins on the long finish to support more than a decade of aging.
