Sourced from McLaren Vale (41%), Coonawarra, Barossa Valley and Padthaway this vintage, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 707 spent 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads prior to bottling. Scents of vanilla, cedar and celery seed seamlessly swirl around dark notions of cassis, plum, coffee and cocoa. There's a touch of mint, but it fits well within the context of the wine. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, this wine looks to have at least two decades ahead of it. The finish is truly special, with beguiling hints of maple syrup balanced by a smooth, enveloping wash of softly dusty tannins.

Deep, saturated ruby. Displays expansive aromas of dark berry liqueur, cherry-cola, cured tobacco, cedary oak and mocha, along with licorice and floral topnotes. Chewy, broad and appealingly sweet, offering blackcurrant, bitter cherry, coconut and savory herb flavors that show outstanding depth and energy. The cherry and floral notes resonate on a wonderfully long, youthfully taut and penetrating finish that features mounting tannins and repeating dark fruit and tobacco character. Made in all new American oak.
