Description

Steeped in the rich tapestry of Penfolds' winemaking heritage while embracing the currents of modernity, Bin 704 embarks on a journey to redefine the essence of Napa Valley cabernet through the unique lens of Penfolds. With an unwavering focus on capturing the intricate varietal nuances and the very essence of the region, this wine is crafted to possess a textural definition reminiscent of silk. Its evolution is tenderly guided within the embrace of French barriques during the maturation process.

A remarkable realization lies in the cyclical rhythm of viticulture and winemaking, where Penfolds acknowledges the captivating reflection between different hemispheres. Like twin mirrors, they often mirror each other's essence. The name "Bin 704" takes inspiration from the captivating notion of a "mirror" or "reverse" image, as reflected in its Australian stablemate, Bin 407. This wine, too, honors the true expression of the varietal, echoing a harmonious tradition upheld by Penfolds.

Review

Deep crimson. Very fragrant mulberry, boysenberry, blackcurrant pastille aromas with dark chocolate, hint black olive notes. Smooth and velvety wine with plentiful choco-berry fruits, sweet vanilla/ spicy oak, fine grained textures and long fresh lacy acidity. Velvety smooth wine with very good density, raspberry glacé sweetness and aniseed/ red liquorice notes at the finish. This is a full bodied, distinctive Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with its core of sweet fruit, palate weight and suppleness. The Penfolds style is lurking in the background somewhere. 100% maturation in new (40%) and seasoned French oak. Drink now

Tasting Profile

Nose
Cabernet sauvignon, tick. Napa Valley, tick. Penfolds, tick. Red and sweet spice abound, paprika, sumac, cinnamon, rose water, saffron. Red currants, Iranian barberries, pomegranate. Steely-coolness, ferrous minerality. From the pâtisserie, dark cherry pie, milk chocolate mousse dusted with freeze dried raspberries. French oak announces itself, cedary and structural, proudly supporting a saturated mulberry and summer berry core.
Palate
So defined, yet so approachable. Silkiness, a gorgeous texture that glides effortlessly across the palate. Succulence, mouth-watering and appetite-inducing crunchy acidity. A fine graphite core confirms the varietal identity. There is power lurking beneath, a dense black fruit drive which is somewhat unexpected, yet most welcome.
