Description
The Story Behind the Label
Penfolds Bin 389 has earned the nickname “Baby Grange” for good reason — it’s matured in the same oak as Penfolds’ flagship Grange, giving it a level of structure and pedigree well beyond its price point. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, this Cabernet Shiraz blend reflects decades of winemaking discipline — a bottle collectors buy Penfolds Bin 389 for as an accessible entry into serious Australian collecting.
Tasting Profile & Sensory Architecture
The glass shows a deep, dense purple-red with a rich, concentrated pour. The nose opens with blackcurrant, dark plum, and a distinctive layer of cedar and dark chocolate from extended oak maturation. On the palate, expect ripe black fruit, firm tannins, and a savory note of tobacco leaf, carried through to a long, structured finish. It’s a wine built for aging — best decanted before serving to let its full complexity unfold.
