Bin 128 is designed to reflect the cool-climate structure and varietal character of Coonawarra Shiraz, with a more elegant frame and earlier-drinking profile than many of Penfolds' traditional South Australian reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1994 vintage was an excellent year in Coonawarra.
