WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Launched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Penfolds Bin
407 was developed in response to the increasing availability
of high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. Inspired by
Penfolds Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and
approachability, yet with structure and depth of flavor.
A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407
highlights the rewards of Penfolds' multi-region, multivineyard
blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported
by a sensitive use of French and American oak.

Wine.comPenfolds Bin 707 continues to reinforce its reputation as the international benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Made from a multi-district blend, it transcends the vagaries of vintage, achieving a consistent style and outstanding quality each year. The Bin 707 style has intense varietal definition combined with new American oak to produce wines of great richness, power, harmony and concentration. Penfolds Bin 707 draws fruit mainly from Coonawarra, Padthaway, Barossa Valley and select parcels from Penfolds' Bordertown Vineyard.

International Wine CellarRuby-red. Peppery redcurrant and cherry aromas display impressive cut, with musky black tea and dark chocolate notes adding depth. Youthfully taut red and dark berry flavors are deepened by mocha and licorice, with fine-grained tannins adding gentle support. The long, juicy finish shows a restrained sweetness and hints of pungent herbs.
