Lush aromas of black currants, black berries, and cherry join flavors of toasted pecan rolled in spices and a cedar finish. Fresh and dried fruits join sinewy tannins into a persistent finish with balancing acidity.

Attractive nose of blackberries, kirsch and hints of dried flowers and walnuts. Full and well-structured with ripe yet lightly chewy tannins and deep, succulent fruit underneath. Intense, bitter-spice finish.
90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Honig's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon delivers notes of cedar, loam, black cherries and dried spices. Matured in a combination of French and American oak, it's full-bodied, silky-velvety in texture and softly tannic, with ample length and texture on the finish, which reveals a subtle hint of raisined fruit. Don't expect it to age much past a decade from the vintage, so enjoy this fine value while it's young.
Winemaker Notes
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. Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.3% Merlot, 4.6% Malbec 2.4% Petit Verdot 1.4% Cabernet Franc, 1.2% Petit Syrah
