Tasting Notes:

The 2020 Penfolds Bin 600 California Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a remarkable blend of two of the world’s most iconic grape varieties, crafted from the challenging yet rewarding Napa Valley and Paso Robles regions. This vintage was shaped by a warm, dry winter, followed by mild spring conditions that allowed for an early start to the growing season. The summer brought cool mornings and warm days, setting the stage for a vintage marked by high-quality, concentrated grapes. Despite the challenges posed by COVID restrictions and wildfires, the winemakers at Penfolds leveraged small yields to produce a wine of exceptional quality and intensity.


This wine is composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Shiraz, resulting in a beautiful core of red, blue, and black fruits. On the nose, you'll find aromas of summer berry pudding with anglaise, rhubarb tart, apple and cinnamon strudel, and Morello cherries. The Shiraz plays a pivotal role in the mid-palate, adding generosity and structure to the Cabernet Sauvignon. The fine, talc-like tannins create a smooth texture, while the soft acidity ensures that the wine remains beautifully balanced. At once concentrated yet fresh, this is a wine that is approachable now, but with the promise of further complexity as it ages.


With 97 points from Andrew Caillard MW and 96 points from Ken Gargett, alongside 95 points from esteemed critics such as Dave Brookes, Huon Hooke, and James Suckling, this wine is widely regarded as one of the best in its category. It represents the perfect harmony of Napa Valley’s world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Paso Robles’ expressive Shiraz, showcasing both power and finesse.


Pair this stunning wine with grilled lamb chops, chargrilled steak, or roasted pork with a fruit compote. Its richness and depth also make it a great match for creamy cheeses like Brie or aged Gouda.

Accolades & Awards:

97 Point Rated - Andrew Caillard MW
"Deep crimson. Very Penfolds in style with intense dark chocolate, blackberry, cassis aromas and some roasted walnut, roasted chestnut notes. Inky, supple and densely concentrated with dark chocolate, blackberry, cassis, mocha flavours, fine losseknit chocolaty tannins and beautifully balanced new oak notes. Finishes chocolatey, minerally with seductive dark berry, praline notes. Effortless, seamless and sinuous. Delicous wine."


95 Point Rated - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion
"A blend of 68/32% cabernet sauvignon/shiraz from California's Napa Valley and Paso Robles; matured in American oak barriques (40% mew) for 16 months. Deep crimson in colour with cabernet making its presence felt on the nose through ripe blackberry and black cherry, some dark plum in the bass. Hints of baking spices, dried cranberry, pomegranate, berry flan, dark chocolate, cinnamon, vanillin oak and olive tapenade. There's an expressive flourish of ripe fruit in this wine showing pleasing depth and heft yet with a sense of freshness and clarity of line; fine graphitey-like tannins provide support, some morello cherry joining in on the extended finish."


95 Point rated - James Suckling
"The quintessential Australian blend is brought to California. Good it is, too. A fine nose, rich but savory, beaming riffs on smoked deli meats, anise, clove and exotic notes of the souk. The mid-palate, dense, full-weighted and nicely pliant, riffing on red and blue fruits over monolithic black. The tannins, well alloyed, roll the flavors long across a gritty etching of oak across the finale. Drink or hold."


95 Point Rated - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Concentrated cassis, blackberry and smoky/graphite aromas; an inky wine, very dense and dominated by chewy tannins which give a thickness to the palate. Amazing power and concentration. A very long-term wine. (68% cabernet sauvignon, 32% shiraz from Napa Valley and Paso Robles)."


91 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Bin 600 is a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Shiraz, which lends a decidedly Australian vibe to this American wine. There's tannin-driven red fruit, exotic spice and a thick, dense palate, with plenty of hutzpah and dry tobacco spice in the mouth and a firm finish. It matured for 16 months in American oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."


91 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer
"Napa Valley and Paso Robles; matured 16 months in 40% new American oak barriquesA sweet-fruited style presents the ripe fruit mood of California in supple berry/cherry/plum fruits framed in soft, fine-grained tannins. A sweet and ripe fruit style, true to California, if not to my taste."
