Winemaker Notes
Rutherford Cabernet with balanced supple tannins and ripe, dense fruit flavors. In order to build complexity and depth in our wines, we select fruit from various vineyard sites throughout the Napa Valley, each bringing a unique component to the blend. Sites range from our own Rutherford vineyard on the valley floor to various valley and hillside locations. Blending varietals, such as Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot, are additional components with which to build wines of uncommon depth and complexity. Serve with lamb, duck, beef and game; pastas with red sauces; fruit, cheese and nuts; or chocolate.

The Honig Family purchased their 68-acre vineyard in Rutherford in 1964, and sold the grapes they grew to neighboring wineries. In 1980, the family tried their hand at producing their own Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, to great acclaim. Michael Honig took over management of the winery in 1984, at the age of 22. In 1987, the Honigs made their first Cabernet Sauvignon. Under Michael, Honig's direction, the winery has grown from a small "garage winery" to a 25 person operation. Using solar power and sustainable farming methods, winemaker, Kristin Belair focuses on two varietals: Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This focus allows her to produce handcrafted wines that are a true expression of the vineyard.
