Panamera owes its existence 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's no wonder that Panamera wines are among the most popular in the Netherlands and Belgium. Panamera is produced at the iconic Rutherford Ranch. This renowned winery is situated in arguably California's most beautiful wine region: Napa Valley. The favorable location of the vineyards in the Central Valley and Central Coast, where a climate with abundant sunshine and relatively strong winds prevails, makes the grapes robust without losing their subtle freshness. The use of different barrels also gives the wines exceptional 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 with very hot summers. Therefore, Steve Rue planted the vineyard slightly higher so the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes could receive a little more cooling from the fresh breeze. This naturally slows the growth process, giving the Cabernet Sauvignon more time to mature. This allows them to absorb more impressions from the rich soil structure, making this red wine even fuller. At ideal ripeness, Steve Rue hand-picks the grapes in the morning, checking each bunch for imperfections. Only the finest bunches are transported to Panamera, where they are aged for up to eight months in partially new oak barrels. This allows the Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon to develop its full power and, above all, its finesse.

The Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and very powerful wine. The aroma offers abundant notes of vanilla and ripe red fruit. We also detected a hint of pepper. The palate of the Panamera Cabernet Sauvignon is stunning. Full, ripe, and powerful. Beautiful vanilla notes interspersed with rich red fruit and slightly spicy hints. This is complemented by a lovely long yet smooth finish. Excellent value for a Californian wine.
