"Lots of crushed stone, dried pineapple and peach on the nose and palate. Full-bodied and layered, with a dense fruit and a creamy-textured and crunchy finish." -James Suckling

Close100% Honig Estate Fruit: 96% Sauvignon Blanc, 4% Semillon
Vineyard: The fruit is from select blocks of our sustainably farmed vineyard in Rutherford, Napa Valley.
Winemaking: 62% of the blend was selected from lots that were fermented in stainless steel tanks. The remainder of the blend was fermented in new, specially selected, French oak barrels and puncheons. The barrel fermented portion of the blend underwent a secondary (malolactic) fermentation. The final blend was assembled in early June 2022. Bottling took place on July 12-13, 2022
Aging: 68% aged on the lees for 8 months in French oak puncheons 32% aged on the lees for 8 months in new French oak barrels and puncheons
Winery Tasting Notes: Floral notes ranging from honeysuckle to orange blossom are wrapped in peach and exotic citrus tones. The extraordinary interplay between fruit and oak creates a richly textured mid-palate that is seamlessly balanced on solid acidity and minerality. The lengthy finish includes notes of vanilla bean and ruby grapefruit. This remarkable example of an ageable Sauvignon Blanc can be enjoyed now through 2026 and beyond.
