twitterSavvy wine buys: Honig Cabernet Sauvignon ‘99
Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2002 | 8:28 a.m.
Honig has been around since the '60s, and has earned a well-deserved reputation for its excellent cabernets and sauvignon blancs. Additionally, Honig is a leading proponent of sustainable farming, which means they use no herbicides.
Similar to most high-end cabs from the Napa Valley, this is a concentrated and nicely extracted wine, which means the juice is allowed to spend time on the grape skins. The result is a dark, rich wine with hints of chocolate and cherries, and reasonably soft tannins for such a young wine.
Still, it will be at its peak in a few more years.
Available at Cost Plus, $27.77.
