2021 Panamera California Cabernet Sauvignon

The existence of Panamera is due to Steve Rued, a talented winemaker from California. With Panamera Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, he has managed to capture the Californian style in affordable versions, so it is not surprising that the Panamera wines are one of the most popular wines in the Netherlands and Belgium. Panamera is produced on the iconic Rutherford Ranch. This famous winery is located in perhaps the most beautiful wine region of California: Napa Valley. The favorable location of the vineyards in the Central Valley and Central Coast, where a climate with lots of sun and relatively much wind prevails, makes the grapes firm without losing their subtle freshness. The use of different barrels also gives the wines a lot of character.

The Panamera is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon - the grape that put California and especially Napa Valley on the map. The grapes grow in a warm climate where the summers can be very hot. As a result, Steve Rue has planted the vineyard a little higher so that the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes get a little more cooling from the fresh wind. This naturally inhibits the growth process, giving the Cabernet Sauvignon more time to grow. This way they can absorb more impressions from the rich soil structure, making this red wine ngo fuller. At the ideal ripeness, Steve Rue lets the grapes east entirely by hand in the morning, each bunch is checked for irregularities. Only the best bunches are transported to Panamera, after which they are aged for up to eight months in partly new wooden barrels. As a result, this Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon builds up power and, above all, its finesse.

The Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and very powerful wine. In the scent many notes of vanilla and ripe red fruit. In addition, we also detected a small pepper in the smell. The taste of the Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon is amazing. Full, ripe and powerful. Beautiful vanilla tones, interspersed with full shades of red fruit and some spicy hints. In collaboration with a nice long but soft aftertaste. Excellent value for money for a wine from California.
