2019 Panek Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Rated 98+ (2018 in picture)

"The dark, deep colors in glass continue in Panek Vineyards 2nd Vintage. The 2019 is a more seductive vintage than 2018, the current release is showing off the trademarks of the vineyard with a freshness that enhances pleasure. The core has remained purple-black with dark violet rays shining through a wine prism. Layered aromatic notes suggest blackberry reduction, melted baker’s chocolate, lavender, and light tobacco with a minerality-driven length. The palate expresses densely packed notes of cocoa nib, cassis, plum compote, and cedar. This wine will easily age 20+ years and bring about a revolution in winemaking, these wines made by Thomas Brown have shown me he is a true Dynamo."
