2019 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The aromatics try to steal the show before you can even take your seat. Baking spices rise above blackberries, plums and chocolate for a welcoming introduction to this powerful, full-bodied wine. Soft tannins support a ripe, juicy core of black fruit and licorice with a hint of oak. It packs quite a punch now, but it promises an even better show after 2024. If you just can’t wait, decant!
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...
Vinous
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, dense wine packed with scents of blackberry, chocolate, licorice, spice, menthol and tobacco. This deceptively mid-weight Cabernet packs quite a punch. (AG)
Wine Spectator
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.
