2019 Penfolds, Bin 704 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA

Description

Notes of red plum and wild berries waft from the glass alongside vanilla and baking spices from the 40% new French oak. The palate is elegantly framed, with a nice freshness that balances out the ripe fruit well. The tannins are fine-grained and effortlessly integrated. The lingering finish leaves you wanting more of this splendid expression of Napa Valley Cabernet, from one of the world’s leading fine wine producers.

More fruit-centric than their 600, but less overtly Napa than many. Sweet spice from oak on the length, and very supple texture. Gorgeous lengthy liquorice character.Drink 2023 - 2043richard_hemming_mw, JancisRobinson.com (September 2022)

Brighter and leaner than the inaugural 2018 vintage of Bin 704, this has more immediate approachability yet remains muscular and serious. An opulent berries-and-cream nose befits the lively red fruits that caress the mid-palate, but then black storm clouds roll in, changing the personality of this wine abruptly, as dark fruits and soot drive hard to the finish. A proud spine of acidity ensures that cassis and wild blackberry notes persist.Drink 2022 - 2036David Sly, Decanter (Jun 2022)

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.Drink 2022 - 2037Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate (July 2022)

Penfolds

Penfolds enjoys an iconic status that few New World producers have achieved. Established in 1844 at the Magill Estate near Adelaide, it laid the foundation for fine wine production in Australia. The winemaking team is led by the masterful Peter Gago; it has the herculean task of blending the best wines from a multitude of different plots, vineyards and regions to create a consistent and outstanding range of wines. Its flagship wine, Grange, is firmly established as one of the finest red wines in the world. Under Gago’s stewardship, the Penfolds range has evolved over time. Winemaking has moved away from New World heat and the sort of larger-than-life style that can mask individuality; the contemporary wines instead favour fine balance and typicity for the region or grape.
