點擊次數：13182

Honig’s basic Napa Valley Cabernet is consistently rich and drinkable at a young age. This 2008 is their best in many years, showing ripe blackberry, black currant and dark chocolate flavors, grounded with a firm minerality. Give this elegant young Cabernet a few hours in a decanter.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 91

A pretty good Cab that shows plenty of richness. May lack a bit in nuance, but on the other hand, a little cellaring could benefit. As currently constructed, it’s rich and forward in berry-cherry fruit and oak, with lots of spices, and tastes a bit jammy-sweet. Honig’s single-vineyard Cabs always seem much better than their generic Napa Valley.——S.H.(12/1/2010)—— 87

Cherry, liquorice and black berry spice. Mineral vien. Old Worldy. Creamy, grippy, structured. Almost Saint-Estèphe feel.
