PenfoldsBin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2008
About this product
Penfolds Bin 389 is the trademark Australian red wine. Affectionately known as 'Baby Grange' or 'Poor Mans Grange', Bin 389 was the wine that helped to build Penfolds' solid reputation with wine drinkers around the world. A magnificent blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from the very best regions and vineyards available to Peter Gago and his team, the robust nature of the Cabernet grape give structure and body to the wine while the opulent Shiraz fruit provides suppleness and intensity. With 2008 delivering what many thought to be the perfect vintage, this is the 389 you need to own.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Strong purple-crimson; there is a cohesive element to the Bin releases of '08, all showing very good fruit concentration and balance, as with the blackberry and blackcurrant flavours and tannins of this wine. Excellent cellaring potential.
