Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Description

First released in 1993 with the 1990 vintage, Bin 407 was produced in response to the increasing availability of high quality cabernet sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. This is a textbook definition of cabernet sauvignon – varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-region blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of American and French oak. Cabernet Sauvignon has provided a high point of Penfolds tasting though recent years, and this beauty seduces from the first whiff. Showing note-perfect varietal aromas, with a breeze of ripe purple fruit over fresh, leafy herbs and rich red earth, the perfume is full and persistent. The entry is sharp and arresting, with fruit purity on point and channelled down the right corridors by supple tannins and a clean acid seam. It shows exemplary balance through to the long finish. – David Sly, Decanter, 98 Points The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Cabernet Sauvignon Country – Australia Region – McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Robe and Coonawarra Vintage – 2019 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14.5%
