David O'Leary really knows about things Cabernet Sauvignon, having claimed a Jimmy Watson Trophy and twice International Red Wine Maker of the Year. From low yielding vines up to fifty years of age, grown to superior sites within the Armagh Valley and Polish Hill River districts, the O'Leary Walker team create a powerful and complex, exquisitely perfumed and seamlessly layered Cabernet Sauvignon, framed by judicious oak and supported by graceful tannins, reflecting the idyllic growing climes of Valley Clare.

$2999each $359DOZEN EACH DOZEN O'Leary Walker is the culmination of two like minded winemakers. David O'Leary worked for Heemskerk and Chateau Reynella, he was group red winemaker for Hardy's and later at Mildara Blass. He held senior winemaking roles at Quelltaller where he launched Annies Lane. Nick Walker took up residence at Krondorf for sixteen years and was also at Yellowglen and Yarra Ridge. Cabernet grapes are destemmed but not crushed, into two and four tonnes fermenters. Natural yeasts are added as the ferments are hand plunged and pumped over to control temperature and flavour. Upon completion, batches are macerated, pressed and run into small French oak hogsheads for two years maturation.

Deep brick red, dark purple hues. Fragrant perfumes of blackcurrant, cassis and juicy berry fruits, a hint of cedar and spice. The contrasting influences of Armagh Valley and Polish Hill form a synergy, violets and blueberry, a palate of dark currants and bramble exhibiting great depth and length. A very solid Cabernet, rich yet restrained, elegantly poised over fine grain tannins, a style which Clare Valley is renowned.

Coonawarra did not happen by chance, it was established on sound scientific principles after the assessment of extensive feasibility studies. The Parker Estate Vineyards at the southern end of Coonawarra, were established 1985 on rich Terra Rosa over limestone soils. Parker have achieved a remarkable reputation within Australia and throughout the world of wine, wherever great vintages are revered for their integrity and continuity of excellence. Commercial constraints played no part in the development. John Parker was driven by a passion to create the First Growth of Coonawarra Cabernet.

Developed by the legendary John Duval, Bin 407 could only be achieved after volumes of high quality Cabernet Sauvignon became consistently available, realising the opportunity for Penfolds to develop a pure Cabernet wine, as inspired by the flagship 707, albeit at a slightly more approachable entry level. Bin 407 is true to the enduring Penfolds style, a profound construct of Cabernet, featuring strong varietal character and solid structure with ripe fruit at centre stage. French and American oak, a portion of which must be new, is there in support.

$12899each $1547DOZEN EACH DOZEN Traversing the length and breadth of Penfolds endowment of elite sites, the winemaking team are sanctioned to identify the finest parcels for vinification into a pure Cabernet wine to rival the nation's finest. Many of these specialized Cabernet vineyards are well into maturity and there is now a rich source of world class fruit from which to draw. Providing a lovely contrast to the more powerfully structured 707, Bin 407 is a restrained and elegant style with fine tannins and underlying oak. A selection of fruit from Wrattonbully and Padthaway, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Langhorne Creek, is assembled and treated to fourteen months in a mix of seasoned and new French and American oak hogsheads.

Deep red, dark core. Mixed cues, scents of charcoal, black olives and meat pan scrapings, rosemary, a darkened veil of fruit, oak impacts, cedar and clove. Solid, generous, sweet middle palate, softened, integrated tannins, bereft of harshness. Generous amalgam of chocolate and smoked meats, blackberry and dates.

Exceptional Langtons Classification. Bin 707 is the Cabernet equivalent to Grange, a wine of ripe and intensely flavoured fruit, treated to new American oak, the achievement of many decades commitment. Named by a Qantas marketing guru, Bin 707 was inaugurally vintaged in 1964 but was not made from 1970 to 1975, when the focus shifted to Bin 389, nor in 1981, 1995, 2000 or 2003, when fruit of quality and style was unavailable. Full bodied, with proven cellaring potential, Bin 707 is Australia's finest construct of multi vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

$79499each $9539DOZEN EACH DOZEN The winemaking philosophy and barrel maturation regimen of Bin 707 is almost identical to Grange. Bin 707 combines intense varietal definition with new American oak to produce a wine of great richness, harmony and concentration. Over the years the development of Bin 707 has mirrored the advances in Australian winemaking and viticulture. A collation of harvests this year from Coonawarra, Wrattonbully and Barossa Valley, from an almost perfect growing season, parcels were harvested after the March heatwave, albeit with a smaller than expected crop of high quality fruit. The finished Bin 707 was matured fourteen months in a selection of completely new American oak hogsheads.

Deep, dark beetroot red. Intense, almost pungent nose, textbook violet, Coonawarra cassis signing off on varietal regional DNA. Beetroot juice, raspberry and lavender ascend effortlessly, glaceed fruits and ground espresso coffee. Long and even palate, confident and firm. Massive fruits, blackcurrant and liqueur cherry, meshed red liquorice and raspy tannins. Could there be some Block 42 Cabernet concealed?! All in balance. Oak? What oak? 100% new oak 100% absorbed...

For over 160 years, Penfolds have been a producer of the most memorable wines. By virtue of a commitment to producing nothing but the best, a tradition has evolved which has effected profound influence over the entire Australian industry.

$3299each $395DOZEN EACH DOZEN Max Schubert did more for the development of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon than any other winemaker. He was originally focused on Cabernet as the varietal of choice during his trials with the nascent vintages of Grange. The extensive expanse of Penfold vineyard resources have now been trained to yield parcels of the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon, regardless of vintage conditions. Max is treated to a temperature controlled vinification on skins to develop the tannin profile, add structure and achieve balance while retaining fresh varietal characteristics. Upon completion of ferments, Max is filled to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barrels for a year's maturation.

Dark magenta red core. Ripe currant bouquets, cranberry and dried Italian herb nose, lifted red cherries and ribena, blackcurrants and mint. A palate of great Cabernet line and defined length, red, blue and black fruits over a length of fine silky tannins, savouryness to the finish, vanilla Chai and sweetly spiced cinnamon, cedar oak.
