Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep red, dark core. The nose is initially not overtly Cabernet Sauvignon, emitting mixed scents of black olive, charcoal, meat, rosemary arching across a darkened veil of fruit. Oak aging porduces aromas of clove and cedar detectable as well. The palate is solid, and generous. Softened, integrated tannins, bereft of harshness, astringence. Oak presence suggested on nose is not as prominent on palate. A generous flavor amalgam of chocolate, smoked meats, black fruits, dates, fig.

    Several tasters commented on the kinetic aspect of the flavors, the purity of the cherry-scented fruits, its depth of gentle tannins and high notes of violets and roses lending contrast and energy.

    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.

    One of top Cabernet wines on the marquee, the 2012 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon nicely defines the category. Shows a lot of bold, black fruit and a strong note of barrel at the moment (a bit of coconut in the mid-range). Time will be really fine for this one, making it one of the world's best values for a serious cellaring wine. Whenever I look for top cabernets, I always put this one on my shopping list. I would pair this one with a well-marbled rib eye of beef. (Tasted: April 18, 2015, San Francisco, CA)

    Taut, focused and juicy, with blackberry and black currant fruit. Hints of tar and sage-seasoned meat add interest to the flavor profile as the finish persists against moderate tannins

Penfolds Wines, Australia
Penfolds Wines Winery Video

Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead.

Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange, relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then, Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover, once again, of Wine Spectator, with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
