Flavors of honey, tropical fruit, orange marmalade and apricot. Ends with a 25-30 second finish with orange marmalade notes. Still a really nice desert wine.

Maybe the drier wines contributed to this reaction but it totally changed after those few minutes.
Had with Michael Honig at CBCC. Stared with Honig Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Napa Valley, next was Honig Sauvingnon Blanc 2016 Rutherford, then Honig Cabernet 2015, then Honig 2007 Cabernet Sauvingnon, then Bertolucci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, then Honig Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 and finally Honig late harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2016
This wine has up front apricot, melancholy tropical fruit at the mid palette and a finish laden with acidity which tells me this has time to improve. It is really viscous and rich.

| Honig Producer websiteSauvignon Blanc Varietal CharacterLate HarvestjhtUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Rutherford Rutherford,
