Coming from a valley floor site that’s starting to get some vine age, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard is a full-bodied, rich, savory beauty with lots of darker berry and cassis fruits, some iron, tobacco, and chocolaty notes, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It shows the structure and density of this vintage and, I suspect, will warrant some bottle age to show its full potential.
