Bin 28 Shiraz

New vintage of bin 28. Used to be the Kalimna vineyard. Dark, dense, and powerful fruit. Cassis and some spice notes. Just a delicious wine, almost chewy. Screams for a steak dinner pairing. Good value, too.

Good Shiraz. Bin 28 used to be the Kalimna Vineyard and I always rated it highly. Not sure it’s still the same origin. But the wine is solid. Cassis notes, some spice, grippy tannins.

Oldest in the Penfolds portfolio, Wine includes fruit from Barossa, McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Wrattonbully vineyards, aged in American oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and sweet spice. On the palate ripe blackberry, plum and cherry flavors with cacao, espresso and vanilla oak. Vivid acidity, rich ripe fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit and a bit of spice, very nice! Good value with aging potential.

Gorgeous Shiraz. I loved this.

Rich, lush and ripe redfruits, nice bit of new oak frames the fruit nicely, still seems pretty young, medium-long finish, I’ve always loved this cuvée!!

I’d buy this again, $29 for the 2020. I really like the balance, tannin and the acidity provides for an enjoyable glass of wine. I think this drinks bigger than a $29 bottle. And it has body! Unlike a lot of Syrahs now that tend to be more flabby.

Cheap and luscious

Black fruit on the nose. Blackberries and cassis with some spice and black pepper in palate. Went well with grilled chicken pesto pasta and bone/in strip steak

Bold hint of cherries and oak flavors … easy drinking and quality for the price. Would recommend letting it have some air.
