Honig Cabernet Sauvignon (2019)

Tasting Notes

92 James Suckling
A very aromatic red, offering baking spices, such as cinnamon, cloves and anisette, as well as notes of ripe blackcurrants, plums and dark chocolate. Full-bodied with soft tannins and a ripe yet vibrant and juicy fruit core. Long, warming finish. Drinkable now, but better in a few years.

The 2019 Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is beautifully packed on the palate and stays nicely focused through the wine's finish. This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and a hint of oak. Serve it with a grilled ribeye. (Tasted: November 28, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Ripe and caressing in feel, with cassis and plum paste mixed with toasted vanilla and sweet tobacco. A subtle cedar twinge adds range on the generous finish. Drink now.
