Tasting profile
A full-bodied Napa Cabernet showing classic Penfolds polish, with black currant, blackberry and dark cherry fruit layered over cedar, mocha, vanilla and a touch of anise or spice. Velvety yet firmly tannic and well-balanced, finishing long and refined rather than as an overripe fruit bomb.

Summary
Penfolds Bin 704 California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon is an American red from Napa Valley. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $49.99.
The calibrated figure is built from 687 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 692 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Penfolds Bin 704 California Collection Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 687.
