South Australia, AustraliaPenfolds Cabernet Shiraz Bin 389 2023, South Australia Penfolds' benchmark cabernet–shiraz blend is a good example of a label that has improved in small ways each year for decades under winemaker Peter Gago. keeps improving year on year. Expect a rich texture with black plums, blueberries, black raspberries, and cocoa. The mix is 51/49 cabernet to shiraz, with a year's worth of American oak, 67% seasoned, 33% new, seemingly disappearing into the wine. Sometimes referred to as the baby Grange, 389 is a two-edged sword: you can drink it very early in its evolution, but it also ages effortlessly and has shown prowess even at the 40-year mark. Duck is a favourite pairing with 389.Tasted: 10 October 2026Tasted by: Prices:
