Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 750ml

Winecompanion.com, Mar 11, 2009
An effortlessly luxuriant and pure wine, with juicy blackcurrant and cassis fruit supported by positive, but fine and ripe tannins; only Penfolds can use 100% American oak to such good effect. Great 707.

With over 165 years of winemaking experience, the Penfolds winemaking tradition is both firmly established and well proven. It is a way of life; no more evident than in the fact that most members of the winemaking team have worked over twenty vintages each at Penfolds.
Experience has created a tradition of excellence, which in turn has led to the production of quality Australian wines, recognised the world over.
Penfolds has managed to create a truly unique and distinctive winemaking signature the Penfolds stamp, of which every member of the Penfolds winemaking team is immensely and justifiably proud.
Officially the Bin Series was born in 1959. But in truth, Penfolds first Bin wine was created in 1951 by the now legendary chief winemaker, Max Schubert. Back then, the experimental wine was simply known as Bin 1, referring to its storage location in Penfolds cellars while ageing. 1952 was Bin 4. Later vintages carried various designations as Max continued to refine what was to eventually become the most lauded wine in Australian history. Fruit is selected on merit to suit a particular style of wine. With each expressing its own personality while exhibiting a distinctive Penfolds ‘quality stamp’. Bin wines are numbered, rather than individually named, after the particular bin, or rack, in the cellar where they were stored.
