100% Sauvignon Blanc, Honig Estate
Vineyard
The fruit for this wine comes from Block One of our sustainably farmed vineyard, next to the Napa River. The close proximity to the river's moisture aids in the natural occurrence of Botrytis, critical to a late harvest wine.

A rich dessert wine, with aromas and flavors of apricots, orange peel, clove, vanilla caramel, honey and beeswax. The finish is refreshing, with hints of lemon and grapefruit.
