Tasting Notes:

An aromatic umbrella sheltering all things cabernet. An immediate ascent of violet, mulberry leaf – laced with star anise, cinnamon, orange zest.Followed by varietal wafts of tomato ketchup, soy, iodine, and oddly, a Chinese spice/stock marinade.Not yet exiting this theme - sweet plum sauce, hoisin and roast duck crackling trepidatiously follows.

Technical:

Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.

The growing regions across South Australia experienced a cool and wet winter and spring. Several longstanding rainfall records were broken across South Australia, with little need for supplementary irrigation until well into summer. Spring was typically windy in the warmer climate districts, especially in October, which created some challenges with fruit set. Despite cooler spring temperatures, the breezy weather helped ward off any danger from frost in Wrattonbully and Coonawarra. The prevailing cool conditions slowed the growing season with flowering and veraison both delayed, in select regions it was two weeks longer than average. 

There were no summer heatwaves, with only a handful of days recorded above 40 degrees. Warmer weather in March was welcomed, allowing grapes to finish ripening with great colour and varietal flavour. Vintage in the cooler southern districts was not completed until early May.


Accolades & Awards:

96 Point Rated James Halliday Halliday Wine Companion  

"Great colour; blackcurrant, licorice, dark chocolate and spices run through the bouquet and palate alike, splitting and reforming in a dance of cassis and spices of all kinds. There is life and energy to spare here. Another major success."


92 Point Rated, Andrew Caillard MW

"Medium deep colour. Intense cassis, red currant aromas with sage mint violet notes. Moderately concentrated wine with cassis violet, red currant, confectionary flavours, fine loose knit chalky slightly al-dente tannins and underlying savoury nuances, Finishes minerally and long with some inky notes. Medium bodied claret style with classic cooler climate cabernet lines and very light Penfolds touch even with the Bin 707 allocations."


91 Point Rated, Huon Hooke The Real Review 

"Deep bold purple/red colour, with a very hi-fi varietal cabernet aroma. Blackcurrant, crushed leaf, mulberry, crème de cassis. Oak is fairly restrained. It's full-bodied and again very varietal in its flavour and structure, with a firm entry and finish and lots of soft berry flavour in the centre. It's a bit singular at the moment but will undoubtedly power on and reward cellar-time, evolving more complexity." 


93 Point Rated, Nick Stock, James Suckling

"This has a duality between some cooler-climate sourcing (some downgraded Bin 707 material went here) and warmer-region fruit from McLaren Vale and the Barossa, delivering impressive flesh and fruit weight. Really builds and fills and holds a wide-open finish."


93 Point Rated, Campbell Mattinson The Wine Front

"Bin 407 almost always wins me over. The lavender, the bay leaves, the blackcurrant, the sweep of smoky oak, the tannin sprinkled with dust. This is a wine of scaffolding as much as it is of flavour; it’s light-ish in cabernet terms but for me it’s presented more or less exactly as it should be. i.e. it’s built to evolve in the bottle."


93 Point Rated Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast 

"Great colour; blackcurrant, licorice, dark chocolate and spices run through the bouquet and palate alike, splitting and reforming in a dance of cassis and spices of all kinds. There is life and energy to spare here. Another major success."


91 Point Rated, Robert Parker

"There's no Bin 707 from the 2017 vintage, so that fruit has been put into the 2017 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a lifted, perfumed style of Cabernet aged in both French and American hogsheads, with leafy, minty accents and Ribena-like cassis notes. Medium to full-bodied, it has a velvety texture and a soft, approachable finish, tinged with vanilla and dried spices. A blend of fruit from Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Coonawarra and Wrattonbully."
