Penfolds Bin 704 Cabernet 2023
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.

Nose:
Savoury and expressive with mulberry and boysenberry first noted. Ruby plum and blueberry tones are layered with desert rose, juniper and pine, bringing an aromatic lift and exotic complexity. Subtle vanilla bean and earthy nuances emerge alongside oyster mushroom and a pleasing root vegetable savoury edge. Pink peppercorn and gentle herbal notes frame the fruit, while a quiet mineral thread runs throughout.
Palate:
Dark berry flavours are in abundance. Tannins are present and finely worked, providing structure without weight. The finish is focused and persistent, defined by a felty texture and savoury tension that carries long and true, capturing the precision and authority of Bin 704.
Varietal Composition:
Cabernet Sauvignon (100%)
