Displaying a deep ruby color, the Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a sweet entry, featuring notes of cherry ripe, cherry pie, plums, and blueberries. On the palate, it maintains excellent balance, highlighting flavors of macchiato and coffee liqueur that accentuate the oak influence. Despite the oak presence, it harmoniously integrates with the fruit and acidity, creating a seamless drinking experience. This wine showcases a complex profile with depth and structure, suggesting potential for aging. Pair it with dishes like slow-roasted beef tenderloin with a port wine reduction or a dark chocolate flourless cake for a luxurious and indulgent culinary pairing. Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon seeks out Northern Hemisphere excellence via meticulous vineyard and block selection, reinforced by flagship-worthy South Australian cabernet sauvignon
