Reviewed June 2025Located 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. (JC)

Awesome in every way, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard is deep purple-hued and full-bodied, with awesome aromatics of red, black and blue fruits, crushed stone, violets, and lead pencil. It's incredibly concentrated, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish.

The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Panek Vineyard is a gorgeous, polished wine. Crushed flowers, mocha, spice and red-toned fruit caress the palate, all framed by soft, refined tannins. Blood orange, coffee and cedar notes develop with time. The 2023 is pure and total sensuality. It’s the most open-knit of the Rivers-Marie single-vineyard wines, and the first one I would open. (AG)
