Another classic Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon expressing a lovely combination of black raspberry and cherry enhanced by savory notes and 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 2031 and longer if you would like.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.3% Merlot, 4.6% Malbec 2.4% Petit Verdot 1.4% Cabernet Franc, 1.2% Petit Syrah Aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels. 25% new American Oak, 20% new French Oak.
The fruit for this wine comes from both our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, and from local vineyards. Each vineyard block was harvested and made into an individual lot representing that block.
Wine Advocate Review:
There are 15,000 cases of Honig's affordably priced 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. While it may not make you see stars, it's a solid value play (for Napa Valley), matching mixed cherries with mocha and cedar shadings and some loamy notes. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely weighted and textured, with a silky finish. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2030
