95 JH "Super luscious, voluptuous black fruits, with an underlay of red; rippling velvety tannins; almost too much sweet fruit, but likely it's just puppy fat waiting to be shed." 91 WA "The 2005 Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon (52%)-Shiraz (48%) is crimson-colored with aromas of smoke, tobacco, mineral, black currant, and blackberry. Elegantly styled, it offers racy black fruit flavors, hints of licorice and chocolate, and a lengthy, pure finish."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
