The 2014 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and iconic expression of Australian Cabernet, representing one of the most prestigious wines in the Penfolds portfolio. Produced only in exceptional vintages by Penfolds, Bin 707 sits alongside Grange as a flagship wine, defined by intensity, structure, and extraordinary longevity.
The 2014 vintage delivered Cabernet Sauvignon of outstanding concentration and tannin quality across South Australia. Bin 707 is a multi-regional blend, drawing on premium Cabernet parcels primarily from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. This approach combines richness, regional complexity, and structural precision, resulting in a wine of formidable scale and balance.
In the winery, fruit underwent extended fermentation and maceration to extract deep colour, flavour, and firm structural tannins. The wine was matured for approximately 18 months in 100% new American oak hogsheads, a defining hallmark of Bin 707, contributing power, spice, and a framework built for decades of cellaring.
Aromatically, the wine is intense and layered, showing blackcurrant, cassis, dark plum, and blueberry, supported by notes of cedar, vanilla, cocoa, graphite, and savoury oak spice. The palate is full-bodied and commanding, delivering dense dark fruit, muscular yet finely honed tannins, and a long, persistent finish. Despite its sheer power, the wine maintains balance and freshness, reflecting the strength of the vintage and Penfolds’ blending expertise.
Still youthful and tightly wound, the 2014 Penfolds Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon demands patience and will reward extended cellaring over 20–30+ years. Decant generously if opened now to allow its depth and structure to unfold.
A benchmark Australian Cabernet Sauvignon and a centrepiece bottle for collectors seeking power, pedigree, and proven longevity.
