"Padthaway, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale and Barossa. Elegant and obviously youthful cabernet sauvignon with classic varietal flavours of cassis, blackcurrant, dried herb and cedar. A wine with energy and restrained power that will become more obvious with bottle age."

"Padthaway, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley fruit. Matured 12 months in 27% new French and 8% new American oak hogsheads. Nuances of menthol and eucalypt not often seen in Bin 407, perhaps the presence of Padthaway taking a stronger lead this vintage? This might also be the explanation, too, for a more saline feel to the palate. All the classic blackcurrant, cassis and roast capsicum expected of Bin 407 hold through a finish of impressive line and length, sustained by strong, fine-grained, mineral tannins."
