53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Shiraz

Decanter: 95, James Suckling: 94, Wine Advocate: 93+

Wine Advocate: The 2021 Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is creamy and densely packed with flavour (packed!), and the American oak is a core part of the wine, both aromatically and in the mouth. The fruit is from McLaren, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Wrattonbully and Padthaway, comprising 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Shiraz. 

The cooler season has imbued the wine with a freshness and levity, which, if you had asked me before tasting, I would have said it was impossible to imbue levity in the Bin 389! But there you have it. Epic intensity, present oak. Give it time. I have tasted 30-year-old Bin 389s in the past that have still been alive and fresh.
