Awards & Accolades

Tony Love | Winepilot



"Let's get the in-house Penfolds riddle out of the way: the Bin number 704 is the reverse of it's South Australian classic Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. This is all Napa Valley material crafted by Penfolds winemakers, confident and expressive from the outset, more redolent of crimson berries than darker fruits with a fabulous waft of the full spice cabinet, thanks perhaps to a judicious 17-month maturation in French oak, 40% new. There's plenty of drive in the palate, warm with ripeness, potent though deftly proportioned. 95 points."

Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The fruit for the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 704 is from across Napa Valley, and the classy fruit is shaped by French oak (40% new) and firm tannins through the finish. This is supple and sweet and shows blood plum, raspberry, red licorice and even cocoa. The wine is long and lingering and shapely. Sophisticated."

"Bin 704 demonstrates that you don't have to be large in proportions to be intense and foreboding in character."

– Andrew Baldwin, Penfolds Winemaker

Taste Description

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. A confident wine, enjoy now or cellar for a decade or more.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

Excellent winter rainfall ensured the soil was fully saturated at the beginning of the growing season. Spring was cooler and wetter than recent years, resulting in a two-week delay to budburst and flowering. May rainfall was especially helpful in maintaining the soil moisture profile. Warm summer weather had the vines moving along well making up for the slow start to the season. August was characterised by warm days and cool nights, optimal conditions for veraison. Harvest across the region was one to two weeks later than usual with yields close to long-term average. A good vintage for cabernet sauvignon, with grapes showing bright acidity, powdery tannins, and strong varietal flavours.
