2019 Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon Gift Box

Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon seeks out northern hemisphere excellence via meticulous vineyard and block selection, reinforced by flagship-worthy South Australian cabernet sauvignon. The result is distinctive, and of distinction. House Style is in the building blocks of Bin 149, a name derived from the percentage of South Australian cabernet sauvignon synergistically woven into the blend. Napa Valley regional sourcing seeks to showcase strong tannic foundations, dark fruit intensity but with the added dimension of a unique “worldly” disposition. Matured in French and American oak, this release highlights Penfolds commitment to quality.

Colour

Plum core, crimson rim with a glossy sheen.

Nose

There is an otherworldly aromatic element that is hard to define, a natural result of two hemispheres united by one winemaking philosophy.
The Arabian spice souk leads the charge: dark, savoury spice blends – harissa, baharat, cloves, nutmeg, pimento, cinnamon, fennel, anise.
Deli meats provide further appeal: pastrami, jamón ibérico, finocchiona.
Generous fruits, fresh punnets of blackberry, cassis liqueur, dehydrated blood orange. Pistachio ice-cream, pistachio nougat, shavings of bitter orange chocolate and cola. A spicy dust tickles, tantalising.

Palate

For a nose that is so spicy, the plush generous fruit driven palate is entirely surprising. Liquorice, poached quince, fresh black figs, summer berry pudding with icing sugar dusting.
The palate is focused, tapering to a fine point, defined.
Fine and grainy tannins hold the layers of fruit together, offering papery texture/complexity. A succulent red fruit finish leaves a steely edge.
Approachable, certainly. However, a patient spell in the cellar will deliver ample reward.

Our Californian Release

Our California journey started decades ago in the Camatta Hills vineyard, Paso Robles. In the 1980’s, we initiated an ambitious viticultural program in Australia called ‘Heritage Selections’. From our most prized vineyards, winemakers sought to identify single vineyards, blocks and vines that produced the best quality fruit. Cuttings from these exceptional Heritage Selections were then propagated and eventually sent across the world to California.
