Bin 169 is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon that highlights Penfolds’ ability to craft regionally expressive wines alongside its famous multi-regional blends. Sourced entirely from Coonawarra, it showcases the region’s trademark cassis, mint, and fine tannin profile.
Penfolds is one of Australia’s most iconic wineries, with a history stretching back to 1844 when Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold planted their first vines in Magill, South Australia. From those modest beginnings, it has grown into a global benchmark for quality, best known for producing rich, age-worthy reds.
What the critics say:
"This is really fantastic, with blackcurrants, blackberries, dark tobacco and cassis bush. It’s full-bodied and layered with gorgeous tannins that are caressing and focused. Plush texture, yet it’s focused, framed, bright and vivid. No hints of mint or eucalyptus. A classical approach to Coonawarra cabernet. Needs three to five years to really show its greatness. Best after 2027."
"The Bin 169 is Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra and matured in French oak. The 2022 Bin 169 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is succulent and fresh. Certainly, it is powerfully structured and concentrated but manages vitality and detail. It is Coonawarra more than anything, and in a great, ferruginous, pure sort of way. In terms of context, I like this vintage as much as the 2010 vintage, which I view to be the greatest Bin 169 made since its inception in 2008. I note that I have historically given the 2019 a higher score the 2021; however, on other occasions have scored it several points lower. Different bottles, different environments. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."
