Lots of red and black fruit. Super jammy. Almost no tannins (perhaps we were a too late). Secondary notes of tobacco or leather, but very faint. Overall a study in new world cab sav. Would have liked to try a few years earlier. Update after 24 hours: pleasantly surprised by how much more complex this got. Fruit/Jam toned down a bunch and way more spice and cedar.

Stunning! At its peak. Has plenty of fruit. Whisper soft tannins. Wonderful Rutherford dust and just a hint of secondary flavors. It has a long ways to go still.

Nice color, soft tannins, good acidity just starting to pass it's peak. I know I needed to open this. Have one more to drink, let it sit just a year too long, however it is truly and good wine from Honig.

Good amount of fruit, hardly any tannins, lots of secondary flavors, very well balanced. Drinking at its prime.
