Couldn't load pickup availability
The Penfolds Bin 149 Cabernet Sauvignon embarks on a quest for excellence in the Northern Hemisphere, meticulously selecting vineyards and blocks to craft a wine that harmoniously combines with the flagship-worthy South Australian cabernet sauvignon. The outcome is truly distinctive, embodying a sense of true distinction. The name "Bin 149" reflects the proportion of South Australian cabernet sauvignon skillfully interwoven into the blend, resulting in a symphony of flavors.
Drawing inspiration from Napa Valley's terroir, this wine is sourced regionally to accentuate robust tannic foundations and an intense presence of dark fruit, while also incorporating a unique "worldly" character. Maturation in a blend of French and American oak further accentuates Penfolds' unwavering commitment to quality and their meticulous winemaking philosophy.
Excellent winter rainfall ensured the soil was fully saturated at the beginning of the growing season. Spring was cooler and wetter than recent years, resulting in a two-week delay to budburst and flowering. May rainfall was especially helpful in maintaining the soil moisture profile. Warm summer weather had the vines moving along well making up for the slow start to the season. August was characterised by warm days and cool nights, optimal conditions for veraison. Harvest across the region was one to two weeks later than usual with yields close to long-term average. A good vintage for cabernet sauvignon, with grapes showing bright acidity, powdery tannins, and strong varietal flavours.
16 months in French oak (80% new) and American oak (20% new) barriques

Tasting Profile
nose
This young wine needs time to unfurl. A decant is recommended. There is much to sensorially ponder as it slowly emerges from its slumber. First, an abundance of dark fruits, condensed, concentrated, alluring. A confit of blackberries and mulberries. Crème de cassis. Hydrocarbon notes of tar and gravel arouse thoughts of freshly poured bitumen, morphing gradually into a flinty barrel ferment character. Mechanical scents of steam engines, forged steel, gun oil and iron filings add to the mystique. The allure of polished leather, synonymous with the equestrian tack shop. Chocolate éclair, icing sugar, fresh licorice and cola provide sweet notes, while lavender and violets add a floral perfume. Black pepper and umami notes of smoked beef offer further enticement.
palate
A weighty palate that delivers on the aromatic inducement. Flavours of milk chocolate, tiramisu, cannoli and biscotti provide a ripe core, while sweet and sour mulberries hold court. There is a suggestion of macchiato espresso with a side nip of coffee liqueur. The savoury flavours lean towards seared beef, doused in black pepper and dropped onto a piping hot skillet. A lovely wine with a finely structured palate and a very long finish. Remarkably approachable for one so young and bold

We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
