2021 Honig Cabernet
Napa Valley
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

About Honig Winery
We purchased our Rutherford Vineyard in 1964, and began producing wine in 1980. In 1984, at the age of 22, Michael Honig took over management of the vineyard and winery. With the help of a handful of family members and a staff of dedicated employees, what began as a small “garage” winery has today become a successful family enterprise, with everyone working collaboratively to run an inspiring and socially responsible business. At Honig we believe it is our responsibility to preserve resources and sustain the environment. Our family and employees have been committed to environmentally sound practices for decades. Our Napa Green and California Sustainable Winegrowing Association certifications are but one component of an overall sustainable culture encompassing our vineyard, winery and business.
As a family owned and operated winery, we are committed to preserving and improving our environment and minimizing our impact on the planet. Our California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Fish Friendly Farming certifications serve to demonstrate our leadership and commitment to creating a better future for our planet and the generations to come.
