PenfoldsBin 389 Cabernet Shiraz 2005

About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Cabernet ShirazThis is a unique Australian blend, but we love it because the two varieties work so well. Richness and fruit weight of Shiraz is given length and structure by Cabernet. When first released, the 2005 was a monster, but already it is becoming more approachable. Drink 2012+.

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.

Super luscious, voluptuous black fruits, with an underlay of red; rippling velvety tannins; almost too much sweet fruit, but likely its just puppy fat waiting to be shed.

The 2005 Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon (52%)-Shiraz (48%) is crimson-colored with aromas of smoke, tobacco, mineral, black currant, and blackberry. Elegantly styled, it offers racy black fruit flavors, hints of licorice and chocolate, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will profit from 3-4 years of cellaring and will drink well from 2011 to 2020.
