2023 "BIN 407" Cabernet Sauvignon

This is made from declassified vineyards for the famed Bin 707 due to a challenging cool vintage. Aromas of blackcurrants, violets, bitter chocolate, baking spices and scorched earth. The palate is full-bodied with a textural yet refined palate and finely integrated tannins. Great balance of freshness and power. Drink or hold. (07/2025)

Dense and concentrated, with plush flavors of blueberry, currant and blackberry at the core, plus notes of black licorice, graphite, sage and white pepper. Further elements of mint, bittersweet chocolate and malt emerge on the long finish, which is impressive for its harmony and torque. Drink now through 2039.—M.W. (2025)

The 2023 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon carries aromatically both sweet fruit and dried mint, with tannins through the finish that both dry the fruit characters and structure the wine. This is elegant, in its way. It is sourced from Padthaway, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley and Wrattonbully (all in South Australia). 14.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. - Erin Larkin (07/2025)
