2016 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Delivered to blueprint – regional, cool climate and chalky cabernet.

Tight and focussed. Tightly-wound. Tense. Textbook.

Be selfish – don't share. Well, only if you must. Sparingly.

Peter Gago, Penfolds chief winemaker

Leafy cassis notes mark the nose of the 2016 Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's also floral yet dense and concentrated.

Full-bodied and rich on the palate, it exudes class and balance at the same time.

It's a super expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Australia's premier regions for the grape variety, ending on lingering notes of cocoa, cassis and pencil shavings.
