Description

Deep, saturated ruby. Displays expansive aromas of dark berry liqueur, cherry-cola, cured tobacco, cedary oak and mocha, along with licorice and floral topnotes. Chewy, broad and appealingly sweet, offering blackcurrant, bitter cherry, coconut and savory herb flavors that show outstanding depth and energy. The cherry and floral notes resonate on a wonderfully long, youthfully taut and penetrating finish that features mounting tannins and repeating dark fruit and tobacco character. Made in all new American oak.

Jancis Robinson MW19/20

No 2020 vintage made. 8 months in 100% new American. 41% McLaren Vale (including 6% from Block 42), 36% Coonawarra.

Oak and fruit both at the forefront – a great double-header. This brings everything together that makes Penfolds great – the boldness, the oak, the stippled tannins, the persistence. Dark and savoury on the length.

Wine Advocate97/100

Sourced from McLaren Vale (41%), Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and Padthaway this vintage, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 spent 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads prior to bottling. Scents of vanilla, cedar and celery seed seamlessly swirl around dark notions of cassis, plum, coffee and cocoa. There's a touch of mint, but it fits well within the context of the wine. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, this wine looks to have at least two decades ahead of it. The finish is truly special, with beguiling hints of maple syrup balanced by a smooth, enveloping wash of softly dusty tannins.

James Suckling96/100

The bastion of Penfolds’ “house style” with assertive, cedary American oak across intense cabernet sauvignon, sitting in the blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry zone. Follows suit on the palate with the same black-fruit core, swathed in new-oak, sweet spices. Long, sweetly ripe tannins. A blend of McLaren vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and Padthaway grapes, matured in 100% new American-oak hogsheads. Drink over the next decade.

Decanter96/100
Showing strong varietal aromas and rich texture, this is more restrained and carefully measured than the lively Bin 407 from the same vintage. This model is all about the slow, even flow of luscious blackberry and plum flavours wrapped in red earth and chocolate, before tannins gently envelop the back-palate to ensure a graceful, gentle landing. A very complete package for such a young Cabernet.

The Real Review97/100

Very deep red/purple colour which stains the glass. The bouquet is a riot of mocha, the melted dark chocolate and espresso coffee notes clearly identifiable, together with concentrated, super-ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and cassis cabernet identity which soars above the oak and other factors. Rum and raisin chocolate. Masses of softly drying tannins coat the tongue, but it's the richness of flavour that dominates all else. Tremendous length, broad and slightly chewy. It finishes with a huge crescendo. An amazing wine. (McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Padthaway. 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads)

About this WINE

Penfolds

Penfolds

Penfolds enjoys an iconic status that few New World producers have achieved. Established in 1844 at the Magill Estate near Adelaide, it laid the foundation for fine wine production in Australia.

The winemaking team is led by the masterful Peter Gago; it has the herculean task of blending the best wines from a multitude of different plots, vineyards and regions to create a consistent and outstanding range of wines. Its flagship wine, Grange, is firmly established as one of the finest red wines in the world.

Under Gago’s stewardship, the Penfolds range has evolved over time. Winemaking has moved away from New World heat and the sort of larger-than-life style that can mask individuality; the contemporary wines instead favour fine balance and typicity for the region or grape.

South Australia

South Australia

At 72,000 hectares, South Australia is the engine room of the country's wine industry, responsible for 43 percent of its vineyards and encompassing some of Australia’s most famous fine wine regions.

One of the most important areas in qualitative terms is the Barossa Valley, beginning 50km north-east of Adelaide, and famous for its full-bodied Shiraz, as well as for its Grenache and Mourvèdre. To the east, the cool Eden Valley is home to some really fine Riesling and top-class Shiraz, such as that made by Henschke. To the north of Barossa is the Clare Valley, also a source of good Riesling but home to well-structured reds as well.

South-east of Adelaide lies the delightful vineyard area of the Adelaide Hills, where fine Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir are produced by wineries such as Petaluma and Llangibby EstateLanghorne Creek to the east of Adelaide has earned a reputation for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Verdelho and Shiraz while, between Adelaide and the sea, McLaren Vale is a noted area for red wines.

The unique vineyard region of Coonawarra lies 400km south-east in an area of pure limestone topped by a loose, red topsoil. Cool enough to resemble Bordeaux, this area produces great Cabernets and Merlots and is much in demand. Slightly to the north and to the west lie the regions of Padthaway and Mount Benson respectively, which enjoy similar success as sources of great white wines, especially ChardonnayWrattonbully however is known for its fresh, varietally-pure Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

However it’s the less-distinguished Riverland region that accounts for 50 percent of the state’s wine production.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon

The most famous red wine grape in the world and one of the most widely planted.

It is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it performs particularly well on well-drained, low-fertile soils. It has small, dusty, black-blue berries with thick skins that produce deeply coloured, full-bodied wines with notable tannins. Its spiritual home is the Médoc and Graves regions of Bordeaux where it thrives on the well-drained gravel-rich soils producing tannic wines with piercing blackcurrant fruits that develop complex cedarwood and cigar box nuances when fully mature.

The grape is widely planted in California where Cabernet Sauvignon based wines are distinguished by their rich mixture of cassis, mint, eucalyptus and vanilla oak. It is planted across Australia and with particular success in Coonawarra where it is suited to the famed Terra Rossa soil. In Italy barrique aged Cabernet Sauvignon is a key component in Super Tuscans such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, either on its own or as part of a blend with Sangiovese.
