Item Description
Winemaker's Notes
The 2008 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz epitomizes the strength of Penfolds. Our entire focus is on optimizing the vintage by sourcing across a multitude of vineyards and regions. At Classification we drill further down, identifying suitable parcels for each style. At almost every stage of winemaking there is a selection process, trial blend or further refinement until we get it right. In 2008 we began with impressive parcels of fruit. This is reflected in the end result; the finished blend.
Critical Acclaim
"Penfolds Chief Winemaker Peter Gago is enthusiastic about his 2008 Shirazes, including this blend of 52% Cabernet and 48% Shiraz. Bin 389 continues to represent excellent value in a cellar-worthy red; it’s richly fruited, with oak in matching intensity yet not jammy or oaky, and the velvety finish lasts a good long time. Drink now–2025, and probably beyond."
91 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Deep ruby. Pungent cherry, violet, licorice and herbs on the nose. Dense and chewy, offering bitter cherry and dark chocolate flavors and a hint of candied flowers. Spicy and focused on the very persistent finish, with the cherry note echoing strongly. Nicely concentrated and balanced to age. "
91 Points International Wine Cellar
"Medium-weight and firm in texture, packing in its dark berry, tar, black olive and warm brick flavors on a juicy frame. The tannins have grip, so give this one a few years for the best results. Best from 2013 through 2018. 6,400 cases imported."
