TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Lewis Perdue's Rating of Honig Vineyard & Winery: Cabernet Sauvignon: Napa Valley - California: : 2012: United States

Bright plum and dark berry flavors make this 2012 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon stand out from the Parker-ized sameness or the current nouveau austere vino-fashion that drive me away from so many Napa Valley Cabs.

Nice spice here along with vanilla toasty oak and a solid tannin backbone.

89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. $36 retail.

Sampled by the glass at the reception following the Vineyard Economics Seminar in Napa.

 REVIEW POLICY:

For winery tasting samples, gifts from friends or family or samplings at a party or event, review it truthfully, but only if I like it. If I have paid my own very-hard-earned money on a bottle, the gloves are off and it gets what it deserves ... whether perfect or puerile.
