Bin 169 symbolically guards Bin 707 in the same way that RWT protects Grange.”

"This year’s Special Bin release is Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2018: A really sophisticated, almost understated, seductive and compelling wine and highly recommended. It grows and grows as you sip and savour – 98 points."
"Very deep, dark, youthful purple/red colour, impressive in the glass. The bouguet is reserved and understated, with more earthy, savoury aromas coming first followed by cassisy cabernet-like nuances, the palate more elegant than expected with lovely purity of concentrated blackberry, blackcurrant caberney fruit skilfully welded to neatly integrated oak charcters, A cracking wine, concentrated but in no way heavy or overwrought. Indeed, it has real elegance. A delicious wine, and there's much more to come for those who are patient. – 98 points."
Bright plum red
Fragrant, lively. Soars! Alluring – an innocent sniff certainly draws you immediately back to the glass, soon to tempt that hurried first ingestion. An array of glacéed fruits – red-infused jube and pastille notes. Aromas remind of flambé crêpe suzette with the faintest hint of (Grand Marnier) orange. A suggestion of oak – linked to scents of dry tea leaf (Earl Grey)? But an infant!
Shouts Coonawarra! An immediate proclamation at first sip. Red fruits swamp the palate – raspberry, cranberry, redcurrant, rhubarb … and a little cassis. No mid-palate deficit – this cabernet’s mouth-watering acidity and succulence fill all gaps. Grainy, highly defined / high-resolution tannins – right across the palate, in tandem with supportive oak. A balanced density and volume. Expansive.
Coonawarra enjoyed near long-term average winter rainfall, and slightly below average spring rainfall. Following a frost event on November 4th temperatures were generally warmer, +3.6°C above average thanks to a combination of high minimum and maximum temperatures. Coonawarra experienced 13 days greater than 35°C during the months of January, February and March, with the longest spell spanning 3 days (17th – 19th January). The hottest day recorded was 42°C on January 19th. From December to mid-April conditions were very dry, delivering only 50mm, which is half the normal rainfall. Subsequently, there was no disease pressure. Mild conditions prevailed over the harvest, allowing grapes to ripen with optimal flavour and fine tannins. An excellent vintage for Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon.

In 2008, we decided to add a contemporary regional stablemate to the collection, a partner to the revered multi-regional Bin 707. Sourced from some of the same revered blocks as Max Schubert’s original 1973 Bin 169 Coonawarra Claret. A contemporary alternative to Bin 707 with a strong regional imprint. A sibling to RWT and a twin to Bin 150. This gorgeously scented and richly concentrated wine is steeped in the origins of our modern winemaking traditions. It was not made in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2017.
