Penfolds Bin 704 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Since 1844 Penfolds has committed to producing wine with a quality upheld by their House Style. This allows the brand to venture outside of their borders to find the finest grapes from esteemed wine regions. Penfolds Bin 704 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon seeks to redefine Napa Valley cabernet through a Penfolds lens.
There’s authority here. It’s floral and generally seductive but it’s a powerhouse of flavour and tannin; it doesn’t just add to the record, it sets it straight. Roasted nuts, pure blackcurrant, blackberries dripping with juice, cocoa. It’s sheer, strong, substantial and soft at once. This is a wine that leaves no room for doubt. It’s gorgeous. It throws light, fragrant flowers into a gale force of ripe, fresh, succulent fruit. And then the surge of tannin rockets through; rugged; majestic; uncompromised. It’s big, sir. Cabernet is the coastline of wine. Bin 704 from 2018. Witness. - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, 96 Points
