Bin 28 was named after the Barossa Valley Kalimna vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine was originally sourced. Today, Bin 28 is a multi-region, multi-vineyard blend, and from 2019 onwards, the wine is not labelled 'Kalimna'.
Critic tasting note: "Named for the famous Shiraz-growing district at the north end of the Barossa Valley, Penfolds' Kalimna Shiraz is in fact a multiregional South Australian blend that aims to recreate the Kalimna style. It succeeds admirably, albeit without the intensity and complexity that marks the best Barossan Shirazes, combining raspberries with touches of plum and prune before turning chocolaty on the finish. Drink now–2015." - 88/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Vintage Notes
-
The 2006 vintage saw good budburst and fruit set, followed by favourable growing conditions. January was hot while February was cooler, providing even ripening which was excellent for flavour and colour development. Warm, dry conditions prevailed during the harvest period. The grapes were picked at optimum maturity having excellent varietal flavour and fine tannin structure.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
COLOUR Deep, dense crimson with a black core. NOSE A glaceed, ethereal layer hovering above - Asian sauces - dark sweet soy, Hoisin plum sauce - over a diverse pool of traditional South Australian Shiraz plummy fruits. Immediately measured and poised. PALATE Spiced, dark licorice & chocolate and liberally fruited with appealing cranberry acidity on finish. Generous and multi-layered and enriched by ripe, solid tannins brazenly reaching out from the back palate. A dry-grown, low-yielded Shiraz assertiveness - with balance, vivacity. "Indelibly Penfolds stamped! The 2006 vintage has delivered a classic Bin 28 Shiraz."

Fresh red fruit with a firm vanilla note, elegant with a note of balsamic and pepper. This is rounded, with gentle tannins and some smoky depth, leading to a dry finish.
