Introducing the Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, a wine that embodies the artistry of winemaking and the beauty of Napa Valley. Crafted with precision, this exceptional wine is a blend of 83.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5.9% Petit Verdot, 3.9% Merlot, 3.7% Malbec, 1.5% Cabernet Franc, and 1.3% Petit Syrah, resulting in a harmonious medley of flavors.
The 2019 growing season was a testament to nature's grace, marked by ample rainfall and late soil moisture. A long, warm summer with gentle foggy mornings set the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. This vintage promises to be exceptional, with wines that showcase great color, structure, and soft tannins.
Harvested from September 24 to November 1, 2019, at an average Brix of 25.6, the fruit hails from our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, as well as local Napa Valley vineyards. Each vineyard block was meticulously tended and vinified separately to capture the essence of its terroir.
After a patient aging process of 18 months in a blend of French and American oak barrels, including 25% new American Oak and 15% new French Oak, the wine reached its full potential. Blending was an artful process completed in the spring of 2021, and the wine was finally bottled in June 2021.
The Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 boasts captivating aromas and flavors, striking a perfect balance between plum and raspberry fruit characters, accented by warm hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and crème caramel from its time in oak. The wine's journey continues with a full, rich mid-palate that gracefully transitions into medium-weight tannins and a finish that shines with bright fruit.
Indulge in the allure of Napa Valley with the Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 – a wine that encapsulates the essence of the region and the passion of its winemakers. Elevate your wine experience with this exceptional vintage, and savor every sip of its rich and expressive character.
