The 2021 Panek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from St. Helena Napa Valley offers a deep purple-black core with layered aromas of blackberry reduction, melted baker’s chocolate, lavender, and pine bough.

On the palate, densely packed flavors of **cocoa nib**, **cassis**, **plum compote**, and cedar unfold with rich, textural fruit depth. Finely grained tannins and complementary acidity provide a medium structure and pleasing uplift on the finish, promising cellaring potential for nearly a decade. This estate wine captures the gravelly loam essence of its St. Helena site, delivering smooth intensity without excess.

Serve at 60°F with grilled ribeye and roasted mushrooms.
