Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 w/box 1500ml

Winecompanion.com, Feb 22, 2013
100% cabernet sauvignon from the Barossa Valley, Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Adelaide Hills. It finished its fermentation in, and was then matured for 16 months in, new American oak hogsheads. Exceptional depth of crimson-purple colour sets the scene for a spectacular wine from this great vintage. The American oak is very obvious, but that's the style. It's not one that instinctively appeals to me, and I always raise an eyebrow at the conjunction of cabernet and American oak. However, tastings over the years have shown that, when 10-20 years old, the components do come together very well.

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.
