Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe grapes used for this wine come from sustainably farmed vineyards in Rutherford and other vineyards across Napa Valley. The blend is 85% cabernet sauvignon, blended with 5% merlot, 5% malbec, and a remaining mix of petit verdot, cabernet franc, and petit syrah, aged 18 months in French and American oak barrels. (25% new American Oak, 20% new French Oak.) The texture is silky despite a fair bit of oak poking into the wine. Look for savoury, minty black cherries and raspberry with licorice and roasted espresso. The finish is long and persistent, if a bit oaky. This needs three to five years to settle into itself.Tasted: 06 March 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
