1997 Honig Napa Estate.

[winoweenie]

Another wrong vintage grab by the weener. Was looking for a 96 and there was 1 97 mongst the 96s in the cube and as all outward apperiences are identicaal I opened without verifiying. Glad I did as this is a whale of a bottle. Lots of plummy, spicy, cassis and chocolate notes with a hint of the Rutherford dust showing up in this medium inky potion. Still with another 3-5 improvment span this can make the ouitstanding area at its apex. One of the old Napa vineyards that sold grapes to the Caymus',Beaulieu, and Mondavis before deciding to bottle their own juice. Lots of P/Q value here and aleays on my short list of purchases. 89/92. 20 by the box. WW
