Tasting notes
The 2022 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon hails from a range of regions in South Australia (Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley) and matured in both French and American oak. This wine appears to have become more elegant over the years, and right now, the fruit is evident within the folds of sweet oak. The wine is detailed, fresh and herbal yet populated with lashings of sweet fruit. There is a nice see-saw of experience here. There is balance in a loud mix. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

This is a well pitched and strongly varietal 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407 blend of South Australian grapes from Coonawarra, Padthaway, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. It delivers a fleshy core of cassis, crushed leaves and generous, open-knit mulberry aromas. Mid-weight in style, a firm bed of tannins support rich and mouth filling chocolatey flavors over a long and sustained finish.
Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993 in response to the increasing availability of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. A sort of baby 707. 25% Coonawarra, 24% Padthaway, 19% Wrattonbully, 18% McLaren Vale, 6% Barossa Valley, 8% other regions. Aged 12 months in French oak (25% new) and American oak (11% new) hogsheads. Quite aromatic. Quite fragrant and like fermented blackcurrant pastilles. Round and flattering. Much richer than most Cabs. No angularity. Round and long with masses on the mid palate. Less luscious than the 707 and approachable earlier, although it has no shortage of tannin. (JR)
A juicy and round-textured red with currant and berry aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crunchy finish. Lightly bitter lemons and walnuts at the end. Drink now. Screw cap.
