The 2007 Mitchell Sevenhill Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautifully mature Clare Valley Cabernet sourced from the historic Sevenhill sub-region, one of the coolest and most elevated parts of the valley. Produced by the Mitchell family using traditional low-intervention winemaking and extended bottle ageing before release, the wine showcases the remarkable longevity and savoury elegance that mature Clare Valley Cabernet can achieve. After more than 15 years in bottle, the 2007 vintage has evolved into a deeply complex and refined wine while still retaining freshness and structure.
The nose reveals blackcurrant, dried plum and blackberry layered with cigar box, cedar, leather and earthy spice complexity. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky resolved tannins, vibrant acidity and beautifully integrated oak. Layers of cassis, dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and savoury herb notes unfold with impressive harmony and maturity, finishing long, smooth and quietly powerful with classic aged Cabernet character and finesse.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2007 Mitchell Sevenhill Cabernet Sauvignon is a superb mature Australian Cabernet — savoury, elegant and beautifully evolved with exceptional complexity and drinkability. Perfect for lovers of aged reds with secondary character and refined structure. Ideal with roast lamb, beef Wellington, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses. Drink now while beautifully mature.
