2016 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Penfolds, South Australia

2016 Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Penfolds, South Australia

The 707 is the arguably the ultimate expression of new world Cabernet. Ripe and pure, with notes of graphite and violets, it’s got impressive density and silky tannins. Very long and fine, with lovely purity. This is benchmark Cabernet.

Tasting notes

Aged in American oak, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 stands out for its bold aromas of vanilla, tobacco and cassis. This year, it's close to 40% each from Coonawarra and McLaren Vale, with smaller proportions from Barossa Valley and the Adelaide Hills. It's full-bodied and rich, with a velvety mouthfeel, great intensity and super length. Yes, it's embryonic, but it's not unapproachable, much like any other high-quality New World Cabernet these days, with the ability to age for two decades or more.
