Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz
South Australia, Australia
Had this at Bern’s Steak house. Often referred to as “Baby Grange,” ‘16: blend of 51% Cab Sauv & 49% Shiraz, aged 12 months in American oak, partly in previous-vintage Grange casks. Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe black fruits, sweet and complex spice. On palate juicy blackberry flavors with notes of tobacco, cacao and toasty spices. Well balanced with acidity, fine ripe tannins, long finish ending with smoky spice, fruit & well integrated with oak, went well with my 19oz Strip Steak!

Very nice cab-Shiraz blend. Aroma of plum and spice. Taste of dark red plums with a very slight sweet spice notes. Medium body and smooth.
