1999  Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Color –  A  tawny-garnet color with a nearly opaque core and rosy highlights on the edge.

Aroma –  Very pronounced raisin and dried cherry with some cedar and leather.

Palate –  Lean tannins that silky and vibrant.  The acidity and tannins of this wine are in ideal harmony.   Cedary raspberry, cherry,  clove, and mulberry on the palate with the faintest touch of mint on the finish.

Evaluation –  This wine has developed quite a bit, to the point of Left Bank Bordeaux earthiness. 

Enjoy,

Chris Calvert
