Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2019 is a Cabernet-driven red blend with Shiraz complexity, drawn from Penfolds’ premier Australian parcels. Aged in American oak, it balances dark fruit depth with structured tannins and a refined spice profile. Rich, multi-layered and age-worthy, it pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, and hearty, mushroom-based dishes.
