The 2021 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from Coonawarra (55%), Barossa Valley (32%), and Wrattonbully (13%), and it was aged for 16 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads. It has a deep garnet-purple color and the nose opens with profound scents of crème de cassis, juicy blackberries, and warm, ripe plums, followed by hints of dried mint, dark chocolate, cedar, sassafras, and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, the palate is surprisingly graceful, bright, refreshing, and refined, with bags of energetic fruit and a very long, spicy finish.
