Penfolds Bin 389 was originally an experimental wine in the 1950s by the legendary winemaker, Max Schubert, that blended Cabernet Sauvignon with Shiraz from multiple regions across South Australia. It is now often referred to as “Baby Grange” as some components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. The 2017 is a sublime release composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Shiraz from the McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Padthaway and Wrattonbully. It is intense and complex, riding a beautiful line between plush black fruits, tobacco-laced savoury depth and subtly grippy tannins.
