Alcohol: 13,5%
Grape(s) : 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Location : Napa Valley, California, United States
Tasting Notes: Another classic Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, expressing a lovely combination of black raspberry and cherry, enhanced by savory notes, exotic spices (think Garam masala), and cocoa nibs. The texture is rich, framed by just the right amount of tannin and acid, giving a sense of perfect balance. While enjoyable upon release, this wine will age gracefully through 2032 and beyond if desired.
93 POINTS - JAMES SUCKLING "Attractive dark-fruited character here offering ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries and dark spices with bark and walnut undertones. Full-bodied, polished and chalky with tight-grained tannins and succulent dark berries underneath. Long and mineral finish."
The Domaine : The Honig Family purchased their 68-acre vineyard in Rutherford in 1964, and sold the grapes they grew to neighboring wineries. In 1980, the family tried their hand at producing their own Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, to great acclaim. Michael Honig took over management of the winery in 1984, at the age of 22. In 1987, the Honigs made their first Cabernet Sauvignon. Under Michael, Honig's direction, the winery has grown from a small "garage winery" to a 25 person operation. Using solar power and sustainable farming methods, winemaker, Kristin Belair focuses on two varietals: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This focus allows her to produce handcrafted wines that are a true expression of the vineyard.
