{"product_id":"penfolds-bin-407-cabernet-sauvignon-2019","title":"Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eLaunched with the 1990 vintage in 1993, Bin 407 was developed in response to the increasing availability of high quality cabernet sauvignon fruit. Inspired by Bin 707, Bin 407 offers varietal definition and approachability, yet still with structure and depth of flavour. Textbook cabernet sauvignon, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the rewards of Penfolds multi-region, multi-vineyard blending, with a core of ripe fruit supported by sensitive use of French and American oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard region\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePadthaway, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlc\/Vol: 14.5% · Acidity: 6.5 g\/L · pH: 3.0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 months in French (27% new) and American (8% new) oak hogsheads\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe South-East growing districts of South Australia enjoyed above-average winter rainfall, while McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley recorded well below-average. September temperatures were cool with little rainfall resulting in some isolated frost events. Summer was generally hot, with high temperatures delaying veraison. The Barossa Valley experienced 31 days of temperatures exceeding 35°C, while Coonawarra experienced 20 days of temperature greater than 35°C during the months December to March. Irrigation was crucial to keep vines in good health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe proximity of the Southern Ocean played an important role in moderating temperatures in Coonawarra and Padthaway, allowing for a high-quality harvest, albeit with smaller yields than average. Although yields were lower, the quality was outstanding with cabernet sauvignon displaying excellent colours, firm tannin profiles and intense flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep, lively red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstantly cabernet, exposed by fragrant violet, lavender, blue fruits and the faintest waft of red apple blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAnd yet there’s much more to captivate the olfactory senses, with scented illuminations of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaked delights – Danish pastry\/croissant and rye bread crust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Mediterranean ratatouille – laced with thyme, oregano and pulped olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChamois, new-buck leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCedar – yet any oak presence certainly respectful of fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied.
