Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage 2006

Honig Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage 2006Located in the Rutherford apparition of the Napa Valley. Bought in 1964 and for many years growing grapes for neighbouring wineries. The first estate bottled Cabernet Sauvignon was produced in 1989. The 2006 vintage was a good year for the wines of California. Typical Blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with a little merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Frenc Bottle condition, capsule good, label good, wine level in neck.

Not to be mistaken with La Chapelle

The name of this cuvee is taken from the French for wall enclosed vineyard

wine level top shoulder or better

The vineyards for this wine are located high up on the hill overlooking the city of Beaune

Producing opulent wines capable of long ageing

Aged for 12 months in French oak

Personally I always use a Durand with Musar

but one where the north faired better and produced some good wines

2001 as a vintage was overshadowed by its predecessor

Michel Gracia purchased a 1

although not quite reaching the highest of 1961

Chateau Latour has a reputation for producing good wines in the lesser vintages so you never know
