Introduction:
Penfolds Bin 704 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a refined and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted through the lens of Penfolds’ winemaking tradition while embracing the unique terroir of Napa Valley. Aged in French oak barriques, this wine balances varietal purity, silky texture, and structural depth, offering a sophisticated and layered drinking experience.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: A complex bouquet of dried flowers, aromatic herbs like marjoram and sage, and vibrant black and red fruits. Hints of fennel Cacciatori, black pudding, and freshly baked olive bread add depth and warmth.
- Palate: Layers of fennel/anise and black licorice, leading to fine, mouthcoating tannins. A robust structure with savoury nuances, including artisanal charcuterie and tangy barberries, adds complexity. Cherry nuances, both tart cherry pip and white cherry sweetness, interplay elegantly.
- Finish: Long and lingering, highlighted by preserved salty plum, cedar wood, and subtle oak char.
Pairings
Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, and rack of lamb. Also an excellent match for aged cheeses, charcuterie, and truffle-infused dishes.
