Wine Description

Introducing Penfolds Bin 600 California Cabernet-Shiraz 2019, a homage to the winery’s journey in the American terroir. Crafted by Winemaker Peter Gago, this blend symbolizes Penfolds’ deep-rooted connection to California’s wine heritage. A fusion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, sourced from Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Paso Robles, this wine pays tribute to the original 1998 vine cuttings from South Australia’s iconic vineyards.

In the glass, Bin 600 reveals a garnet core with a cherry-red rim, inviting you to explore its intricate layers. The nose offers an abundant and refined aroma profile, reminiscent of savory delights like spicy marinated olives, fetta, and semi-dried tomatoes. Exotic notes of Thai red curry paste meld with hints of thyme flowers, lavender, and violets, evoking a sense of refinement and intrigue. On the palate, the wine delivers a glossy and resolved experience, with sweet American oak enveloping a core of dark fruits. The palate bursts with custard, goji berries, medjool dates, and choc-malt creaminess, interlaced with hints of oregano, hazelnut, and cinnamon. The wine’s structure flares out, revealing clarity in its tannins and a resolved character.

Critics have lauded Bin 600 for its excellence. Wine Advocate bestows 93 points, praising its sweet and plush red berry character. Decanter awards 95 points, commending its seamless melding of rich red, blue, and black fruits. James Halliday assigns 94 points, celebrating its succulent, juicy mouthfeel and blue-black berry notes. Wine Enthusiast awards 92 points, highlighting its structured and meaty nature with notes of toasted oak. Jancis Robinson grants 92 points, noting its evolving nose and palate of blackcurrant, raspberry, and cherry. Wilfred Wong rates it at 92 points, praising its black fruit and oaky nuances.

Penfolds Bin 600 California Cabernet-Shiraz 2019 is a testament to the winery’s cross-continental journey, encapsulating the essence of both South Australia and California in every sip.

Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast

Outer quote mark Sourcing 83% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley and 17% Shiraz from Paso Robles, this imaginative blend is structured and meaty, showing notes of cigar box, toasted oak and wild game. Red fruit-dominant, it unfurls layers of cassis and red cherry with ease, finishing in creamy mocha.

Wine Advocate

The 2019 Bin 600 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The Cabernet Sauvignon is from a selection of vineyards across Napa, "and there is a little it of Sonoma in there as well," says Peter Gago. The Shiraz is from the Paso Robles vineyard; it's a 78/22 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The fruit heres is so sweet and plush—there is a distinct red berry character that settles and plumes on the mid-palate. Texturally, it is supple, silky and almost plump. 2019 was generally mild and good, and it has produced a suite of wines that are luscious and opulent.

Decanter

This Californian version of the Great Australian Blend, combining Cabernet Sauvignon with Shiraz (grown from Penfolds’ South Australian vine cuttings) strikes immediate notes of familiarity. There's its spicy nose and easy harmony on the palate, seamlessly melding savoury comfort over a melange of rich red, blue and black fruit. Each component does its necessary work – the Cabernet bringing chew and texture and Shiraz giving a comforting cuddle until the blackberry grunt returns to deliver a stern final bass note.

Wilfred Wong

The 2019 Penfolds Bin 600 Cabernet Shiraz deftly combines three major viticultural areas in California. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, oaky notes, and a hint of coconut. Serve it with grilled beef ribs.

James Halliday

A Californian cabernet sauvignon and shiraz (83/17%) blend sourced from vineyards in the Napa Valley, Sonoma and Paso Robles. Matured for 17 months in American oak (40% new). This brings back memories of the time I spent researching and writing my Wine Atlas of California. It's a pity Penfolds hasn't given a regional percentage breakdown, but there's a succulent, juicy mouthfeel and flavour, and a fanfare of blue and black berries. *Silver*

Jancis Robinson

Less obviously fruit-driven on the nose even than the French examples, counter-intuitively. But the palate delivers the full suite of blackcurrant, raspberry and cherry fruit with fine tannins, high acid and lovely chew. Definitely a wine to age – that nose is just waiting to expand
