TOP 100 AUSTRALIAN WINES OF 2017 #38 - Cabernet just has the upper hand in the blend at 53%; this continues as a rising star in the Penfolds family of reds, showing a very attractive fusion of cabernet and shiraz. Cassis, blackberry, red plums and red currant fruits, the palate isn’t overplayed in terms of weight or extract, but it’s very complete and nicely rendered. Best from 2020-2030+. ... More details

Rated 95 by Decanter
Dubbed ‘baby Grange’ because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. A blend of 53% Cabernet and 47% Shiraz from various regions including the Barossa, Wrattonbully and Coonawarra, this spends twelve months in a mix of new and used American hoghseads. Again, this is deep and dark in colour with spearmint and primary cassis and plum jam on the nose and palate. The oak is well hidden here as cola, iron, blood, tarmac and leather flavours mingle with intent. There’s plenty of Cabernet structure balancing out the richness of the Shiraz, with sweet and ever-present tannins. The acidity is a point, leading onto a good long finish.

Blended of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Shiraz and sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz Bin 389 South Australia has a bombastic nose of crushed blueberries and black currants with hints of vanilla pod, dried Provence herbs, lavender and cigar boxes. Medium to full-bodied, the palate simply sings with exuberant black and blue fruits, supported by grainy tannins and a refreshing backbone, finishing with a pleasant herbal lift.

Youthful, violet color. A deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, potpourri and candied licorice, along with coconut and mocha flourishes. Concentrated yet lively as well, showing impressive depth to its juicy boysenberry, bitter cherry, chewing tobacco and spicecake flavors. A smoky builds steadily with air and carries through a very long, sweet, youthfully tannic finish that leaves an appealing blue fruit liqueur note behind.

A lip-smacking mix of vibrant berry and cherry flavors that give way to green tea, toasted herb and cedar notes. Finds plenty of harmony on the finish, with the juicy acidity blending in with the dense, chewy tannins. Drink now through 2027. 6,180 cases imported.

Rated 91 by Wine Enthusiast
More approachable now when compared to some of Penfolds's other top wines, Bin 389 is an almost 50-50 blend of Cabernet and Shiraz. A fireside sipper built to woo big red lovers, the nose is a comforting mix of dark berries, chocolate cake and dusting polish, while the palate is rich but structured, with flavors of plush cherries and dark chocolate nibs. A dusting of spicy tannins marks the close.
Winery
Balance of the sweet (cabernet) and the savory (shiraz). Possesses what has now often been referred to as a black forest cake 2015 vintage flavor profile. Darker fruits – closer to that of a black cherry liqueur than a crème de cassis. The structure of Cabernet Sauvignon aligned with the richness of Shiraz. Blackberries, savory herbs, licorice, cassis this wine’s youthful profile is tempered by softened and even tannins – from start to finish. And the judicious use of new oak.

Region: South Australia

The enormous wine region of South Australia covers a huge area, and is bordered by all other mainland Australian states. The region itself is split into six key sub-regions, Barossa Zone, Far North Zone, The Fleurieu Zone, Mount Lofty Ranges Zone and the Limestone Coast Zone. All have a range of climatic conditions within them, and as such, produce a wide variety of wine types and styles using a range of different grape varietals. South Australia holds the country's oldest wineries, with a viticultural history which dates back to the mid 19th century, when the country was first being properly established. Early settlers noticed that, with the help of some irrigation, the higher altitude areas of the region and the valley sides were ideal for vineyard cultivation. Today, the region produces an enormous amount of wine, including Australia's famous Shiraz and Chardonnay examples, which are enjoyed all over the world.

Country: Australia

With over sixteen thousand hectares of Australian land now under vine, Australia has become something of a world leader in regards to wine production. One of Australia's key attributes to their success has been their willingness to leave traditional vineyard practices to one side, and develop techniques which are perfectly suited to a New World country. Modern Australian wineries take into consideration the climate and the unique soil types which cover much of their country, and have had fantastic results from cross-breeding programs and blending practices which make the most of the grape varietals which thrive most successfully there, notably the Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes. In recent years, Australia has been lauded as the 'most influential' wine producing country in the world, and the rest of the New World is looking down under for inspiration, and the ability to produce comparable fine wines on their own terrain.
