The Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet Shiraz California 2018 offers aromas of spices, cloves, sage and turmeric that are under immediate suspension. The conversation diverts to cold coffee grounds, raw coconut kernel and jasmine tea. The wine is medium bodied, as intended. Showcasing flavours of sweet liquorice, brimming with potent aniseed forms the flavour backbone and contribute to the glycerous texture.

”78% cabernet (Napa Valley and Sonoma) with 22% shiraz (Paso Robles). Matured 16 months in 60/40% 1yo/new American oak barrels. Peter Gago describes his entry-level ('if you'd call it that!') California blend as strongly Australian influenced, 'because there couldn't be anything more Australian than cabernet shiraz' He lets cabernet take the lead here, 'because it's so much better than shiraz in California.' The ultimate multicultural marriage, a far-flung take on the great Australian blend, exuberantly celebrating the luscious, ripe and generous mood of California within the signature scaffolding of Penfolds. A core of cabernet is proclaimed in impressive blackcurrant and cassis, with a fleshy mid palate built by the spicy blackberry fruit of shiraz. In time, it morphs triumphantly into intense fresh licorice straps. Fine American oak and fruit tannins unite to form a taut frame that declares a strong finish of great length and grand potential.”
– Tyson Stelzer
