Penfolds BIN 389 CABERNET SHIRAZ, 2016
Fred’s Tasting Note :
Bin 389 is often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. First made in 1960 by the legendary Max Schubert, this was the wine that helped forge Penfolds reputation with red wine drinkers by combining the structure of cabernet sauvignon with the richness of shiraz. Bin 389 exemplifies the judicious balance of fruit and oak.
An amazing wine for me if you don’t have the chance of tasting Grange, a exceptional value for money , with true expression of multi regional blending experience of Penfolds at its best .
FD Rated : 98/100

Autumn and winter were dry and cool across South Australia’s growing regions. Record low rainfall prevailed
through September to March. These conditions delayed the start of the growing season in the Barossa Valley and
other warmer regions. However, in cooler Coonawarra, budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest were all earlier
than is usually expected. Warm conditions prevailed across all regions in the early part of the summer allowing
vines to develop healthy canopies and good bunch set. Late rain in January and early February was a welcome relief
across South Australia. Temperatures in spring and early summer were above the long-term average, resulting in an
early harvest for shiraz. Cooler conditions followed from mid-February which suited the later ripening cabernet
sauvignon. Grapes across all the main growing regions were able to ripen evenly and develop desirable flavours
Vinification :
