Tasted blind. Dark purplish black. Leathery/minty nose. Sweet and fresh – good balance. Australian? Luscious and it could even be Margaret River! (JR)

Very dark crimson. Spicy and exciting. There is lots of sweetness here. This should develop very well. Lots of undertow here. GV (JR)
Made with a blend of fruit from Wrattonbully, Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Langhorne Creek, the 2012 Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet color with a hint of purple and a nose exuding warm blackberry compote notes, blueberry preserves, spice cake and mocha plus a touch of menthol. Medium to full-bodied, it offers mouth-filling black berry and cassis flavors with a touch of mint, a crisp line of acid and firm grainy tannins to shape the long finish.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Two major sources. Mainly Wrattonbully and Padthaway, but some grapes from McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, and Langhorne Creek. Redder soil in Wrattonbully than Coonawarra. 14 months in 22% new French oak, 19% new, 16% one-year-old and 43% seasoned American oak hogsheads. TA 6.7 g/l, pH 3.56 . Dark purple. Much lusher than the average Coonawarra. Broad and minty. Good flesh; not skinny. Zesty. Lots of fruit inside a definite structure. Best at 8-10 years. Much more approachable than the 707 but the 1990 currently drinking well. (JR)
