Rivers-Marie "Panek" Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

98 Points Wine Advocate

Located on the valley floor north of the town of Saint Helena, Panek at least in the hands of Thomas Rivers Brown is remarkably consistent from vintage to vintage. The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard is fresh and floral on the nose yet also boasts black fruit and even blueberry nuances. It’s full-bodied, supple, smooth and really elegant yet still powerful, with melted tannins and a softly dusty texture on the lingering finish. Wow.
