Steeped in Penfolds winemaking tradition yet still embracing modernity, Bin 704 seeks to redefine Napa Valley cabernet through a Penfolds lens. Being mindful of varietal nuances, regional essence and silk-like textural definition, the wine is nurtured in French barriques for maturation. Impressive is the cyclical nature of viticulture and winemaking, and Penfolds recognises that different hemispheres often end up being the mirror image of the other. The name Bin 704 draws inspiration from the “mirror” or “reverse” image of its Australian Bin 407 stablemate, a wine which also respects varietal expression.

97 | A well-structured cabernet with good mid-palate generosity. Classical.

97 | Intense blackcurrant black cherry dark chocolate aromas with roasted chestnut notes. Beautifully balanced wine with plentiful black currant and dark cherry flavours. Fine loose knit graphite slinky tannins and superbly integrated roasted chestnut and wax polish notes. Finish firm and minerally. Very well made wine.

93 | Opens with overt vanilla, cedary oak and ripe blackberries. Big and plush but vanillin oak is sitting on top of the wine, detracting from the vibrant fruit underneath.
