Looking at the appellation 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, this ruby/purple-hued effort is based on 85% Cabernet Sauvignon along with tiny amounts of Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah that spent 18 months in oak barrels. Cassis, vanilla oak, cedarwood, and lead pencil notes all define the aromatics, and despite the subtle cloying American oak vanilla character (why, oh why?), it's medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
There are 15,000 cases of Honig's affordably priced 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon. While it may not make you see stars, it's a solid value play (for Napa Valley), matching mixed cherries with mocha and cedar shadings and some loamy notes. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely weighted and textured, with a silky finish.
