Honig Napa Valley Bartolucci Vineyard 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, $67.59-$84.49, 94 points, poured broadly black trailing deep purple/red at the clear wine ring and heavily draped glass bowl.
Profuse and intense aromas of Crème de cassis, cedar, and plum were almost overwhelmingly good.
The full body embraced the now rich lush tannins supported by good acidity and a bounty of black currant, clove, cedar, black olives, and plum flavors.
Finished long on blackberry liqueur, warm spices, a hint of pomegranate, and a spot-on 14.9% alcohol.
Big and bold 100% single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
Paired perfectly with my spinach, potatoes, and beef Goulash.
