A very nice Oakvillle (Napa) Cab from a producer I was not familiar with - 1997 vintage, found at auction. Def one of those, ‘don’t judge a wine by its label’ — 5 years ago

Panek Vineyard is situated in St. Helena on the east side of Highway 29 just north of Turley Winery, adjacent to Aida Vineyard, and about 3 miles up Highway 29 from where I’m situated this evening... making it all the more special... The 2010 from Rivers-Marie is straight fire, sporting a plum red velvet smoking jacket, and a potent perfume of spicy Mexican cocoa powder. Stunning. — 8 years ago

18.5% alc.
Non-vintage (bottled in 2007).
30 Brix at harvest, 5 Brix RS.

UPDATE: Tasted again 3 days later (and perhaps more importantly served at 55F!) this deserves an extra point so revising my rating to 90 pts. — 10 years ago

This one could easily go 50 years. Tannins have subsided somewhat, but it's still remarkably primary. Wish I had another to stash away. One of my favorite PS/Zin Vineyards. Went great with ribs and the last college football game of the year. — 11 years ago

Took a couple hours to open up. Still some fine tannin, but things are pretty nicely resolved with a good balance of fruit and earthy notes. 13.7% alc. Drinking at peak and quite a treat. — 9 years ago

Nice smooth zin. Lots of leather and tobacco on the nose which seems to come with these wines with a fair amount of age in them. I prefer the fresher and jammy zins of more current vintages but a very nice wine. Worth having again but did not think it was worth the $65 price tag at store. 1994 vintage in April 2016. — 10 years ago
