Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2020 is an iconic Australian red that blends Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure with Shiraz’s generosity. Sourced from premier South Australian sites, it offers a dense dark fruit core balanced by integrated oak. Polished enough to drink now, it also rewards a touch of patience for greater complexity. Pairs well with grilled beef, lamb, and aged cheeses.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep ruby with purple edges.
- Aroma/Nose: Blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum layered with espresso, dark chocolate, vanilla, and subtle spice from oak.
- Palate: Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins; flavors mirror the nose—dark fruit, cassis, and plum—supported by cocoa, coffee, and cedar oak; balanced acidity.
- Finish: Long and persistent, with lingering fruit and spice notes.
- Overall: A well-structured, ready-to-drink wine that also has aging potential.
