Zippy acidity lends crisp freshness to the lemongrass and freshly squeezed lime flavors. With a honey-sweet midpalate, it's a lovely wine to drink now with Vietnamese, Ethiopian or Mexican fare.

Tangy and bright, featuring ripe honeydew melon, Key lime pie and apple flavors that are juicy and refreshing.

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.
