Napa Valley ‘Cab' is the stuff of modern legend with permanent top shelf status but its white noble counterpart also thrives in Californian terroir. The family stead of Honig makes the point best with its Sauvignon Blanc of which the estate produces almost as much it does, the Cabernet Sauvignon. Owner winemaker Michael Honig has mastered the trans-Atlantic expression of the noble French grape in Napa Valley's prized Rutherford region that stands distinctly apart from the original Loire Valley style and the generously fruity New Zealand Savvy. Walking a fine line between exuberant citrus and savoury herbs addled by lively acidity, this classic summery white is vintage Napa, all the way.
