Penfolds Bin 600 California Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz 2019
This modern and imaginative red wine originates from the United States, specifically within the California region and a blend of the Napa Valley and Paso Robles subregions. Bin 600 is intrinsically linked to the start of Penfolds' American journey, which began in 1998 when heritage vine cuttings from South Australia's famed Kalimna and Magill Estate were planted at the Creston '600' Ranch in Paso Robles. The winery's philosophy centres on a 'House Style' that transcends borders, blending the structure of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with the plushness of heritage-selection Shiraz grown in the Camatta Hills.
Wine Description
Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz 2019 presents a garnet core with a bright cherry-red rim. The sensory profile is ample and indulgent, featuring a 'European' savoury nose of marinated olives, semi-dried tomatoes, and cured meats, layered with exotic notes of Thai red curry paste, lavender, and violets. On the palate, the wine is glossy and resolved, showcasing a luscious core of sweet dark fruits; such as medjool dates, goji berries, and black cherries, encapsulated by creamy chocolate-malt and toasted American oak. It is a medium to full-bodied wine characterized by supple, silky tannins and a structural 'flare' that provides great length and energy. This blend typically consists of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Shiraz, matured for 17 months in American oak (40% new), and reached an ABV of approximately 14.5%. While the winery maintains rigorous quality standards, this bottling is not indicated as organic.
