Penfold's Bin 389 Cab/Shiraz is a beautiful South Australian blend that boasts rich, ripe fruit coupled with a sassy spice (mostly pepper) and smokiness that adds pizazz to the palate. The Cab component (53%) lends both structure and integrity, while the Shiraz element (47%) contributes a noteable opulence. The prominent tannins provide a flawless framework to keep the fruit well harnessed. This is a fantastic wine to serve at Christmas dinner as it will handle prime rib (and other red meat), duck or even turkey very well.
