Penfolds 2009 Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz (South Australia)

Country: Australia / Bin 389
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz South Australia
Winery: Penfolds / South Australia

Bin 389 is always a Cab-Shiraz, although the 2009 is only just, at 51% Cabernet and 49% Shiraz. This year’s version is chocolaty and ripe, with plenty of weight and a slightly creamy feel. Cassis and vanilla notes fill out the palate, which finishes long, with an elegant texture akin to fine suede. Drink now–2025.
