Another grand release in the great lineage of 407, this is an impeccably varietal cabernet of intricately engineered structure and incredible longevity. Blackcurrant and cassis fruit are framed skilfully in lively acidity and the dark chocolate and coffee of classy French (26% new) and American (12% new) oak. Fruit and oak tannins unite seamlessly to propel the finish with confidence and great persistence. A blend of McLaren Vale, Padthaway, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully and Barossa Valley.

A strongly varietal Cabernet Sauvignon with cedar, cigar box, cassis flavours against a background of subtle herbs and classy oak. The wine is beautifully structured with fine, ripe tannins that are not overdone but suggest good cellaring potential. A very elegant wine, masterfully made from grapes grown in five regions and perfectly integrated.
