Soft red/purple core with a ruby rim. A nose that immediately seduces. Initial scents of steamed fig/treacle pudding which transition into fragrant roses. This floral note then entwines with the warm, buttery aroma of French pastries - freshly baked brioche and blueberry danish. The core fruits of boysenberry meld with the innate characters of Cabernet and Shiraz. A savoury complexity emerges through pepper crusted ham and
pastrami, while green peppercorns provide a fresh, spicy lift. On tasting, the palate reveals itself to be both creamy and soft, with bright fruits that promise immediate gratification. This wine exhibits lovely drinkability; it's balanced and fine-tuned. Cherry Ripe unfurls across the tongue, followed by a nod to strawberries and cream sweets.

The blackberry and blackcurrant notes with hints of cedar and toasted oak are very attractive on the nose and palate. It's medium-bodied for Paso with plenty of fruit and a cool and polished texture in the finish. This is very nicely done. A blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon and 15% shiraz. Drink or hold.

This 2021 Bin 600, a Californian blend of Cabernet and Shiraz from Napa Valley and Paso Robles, delivers plush aromas of blackberry and chocolate with a dusting of crushed herbs and sweet American oak. More jammy flavors then emerge, the tannins are solid and chunky, while the overall shape is of a wine built to enjoy over the short to medium term.
