Ken Forrester Petit Cabernet Sauvignon

A full-bodied wine with abundant notes of blackberries, cherries and hazelnuts with nuances of dark chocolate ending in velvety tannins.

This full-bodied red wine has aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, cassis and spices from its 10 months matured in wooden casks. It is sweet-ish and richly textured on the palate, with good supple, dry tannins and a long-lasting savoury finish.

A classic South African Cabernet Sauvignon with an elegant minerality and typical varietal characteristics such as berry and plum flavours and hints of cloves, mint and cigar box. Well-considered barrel maturation and firm but accessible tannins ensure a full-bodied wine with a rich consistency and lingering finish.

Launched 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.
