The 2018 Penfolds Bin 389, often affectionately dubbed “Baby Grange,” is a remarkable blend that showcases the best of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from South Australia. Scoring 96 points from James Halliday and 93 from Robert Parker, this wine captivates with its rich, dark fruit aromas of blackcurrant and plum, complemented by hints of chocolate and spice. The palate is lush and velvety, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit’s vibrant character. Perfect for a cozy dinner with grilled lamb or a hearty beef stew, this wine not only delivers a memorable tasting experience but is also a smart buy for the quality, given its original retail price of $100.
