Penfolds
Bin 704 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Beautiful. Structured and subtle tannins. Plenty of fruit, and nice acidity. Not exactly a great value at $50, but thoroughly enjoyable.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley made by Penfolds.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Rich and extracted.
Showing black cherries, sweet plums, cedar, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. Gets earthier as it opens up.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Big and opulent.
Still young and will continue to mature in the next 8 years.
Robert Parker 94 points. Wine Enthusiasts 95 points.
Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$70.

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black currants, cooked plums, cherries, cedar, vanilla, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and peppercorn.
Medium on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, is easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Much better after a couple of hours in the decanter, though.
Smooth and elegant with a nice mouthfeel. A very nice sipping wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 8 years.
Good by itself or with food, like BBQ Meats. I paired it with a charcuterie board.

Beautiful Napa grown structure with elegant oak aged flavor. Black cherry and a bit of plum.
