Honig
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley, California, USA
Grassy nose, citrus, some slate. Saline. Bracing acidity with a med- body. Vegetal notes ramp up on the finish. Honeydew.

Somehow it’s a hard one for blind tasting. Not apparent pyrazine component while lots of tropical fruits. The acidity is fairly moderate. Kind of flabby.

Oct 13th, 2017This one was getting a little geriatric, but that being said, Honig is still the Sav Blanc I measure all others up against. Green apple, grass, some mineral. Paired with an orange roughy po’ boy.

In 1964 Honig Family purchased a 68-acre vineyard in Rutherford and sold their grapes to neighboring wineries. In 1980, Honig began producing their own Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Straw with citrus and soft earthy herb aromas. On the palate orange and grapefruit flavors with lemongrass tones, crisp and fresh. Good mouthfeel medium finish ending with lively acidity. Nice value.

Did a taste test with this vs a much more expensive sauv Blanc to prove a point. It worked. This won. Nuff said.

Pale lemon in color, almost see thru.
Great fruity nose with tropical fruits, lemons, gooseberry, grapefruits, green apples, herbs, pineapples and white pepper.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with grapefruits, limes, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices and green vegetables.
Medium finish with bitter almonds and limes.
This Napa Sauvignon Blanc, is very enjoyable by itself or with food. Balanced with mild complexity. Crisp and refreshing.
I had the 2015 a couple of months ago, and the 2016 seemed to have more tropical fruits, which I really enjoyed.
I paired it with fish tacos.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
