Penfolds California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 704 2020
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe Californian 704 is meant to be the reverse image of the Oz version: Penfolds 407 Cabernet Sauvignon. Make no mistake, this is entirely Napa Valley, and it presents with the richness that comes along with that AVA. Wildfires and COVID-19 marked a difficult production year, but the wine seems none the worse for wear. The aging is 16 months in French oak barriques that were 40% new. It opens with a storm of fully ripe blackcurrant, coffee grounds, dried herbs, and dense tannins. This is going to need time in the bottle but it is already a much more formidable wine than the 407. The Penfolds team thinks it will live well in the 2040s.Tasted: 06 August 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| CDN | $99.99 | 750ml | |
