Tasting Notes for Honig Bartolucci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Honig Bartolucci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a truly exceptional wine crafted from premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in one of Napa Valley's most prized vineyards. Nestled at the base of Spring Mountain on the west side of St. Helena, the Bartolucci family has tended to these vines for three generations with great care and expertise.

The wine boasts a deep ruby color with inviting aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, and vanilla. On the palate, this wine reveals rich, broad fruit characters with complex layers of cherry cobbler and blackberry notes. The French oak underpinnings add depth and complexity to the wine's already bold flavor profile. The silky mid-palate is perfectly balanced by firm tannins, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

Honig Bartolucci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is an age-worthy wine that will continue to develop and evolve over time. Its bold flavors and impeccable structure make it the perfect pairing for rich, hearty meals such as grilled steak, roasted lamb, or game meats.

Critic Ratings

Wine & Spirits Review - Issue 12/21 - Rated 94:

Kristen Belair harvested this wine on September 18 through 20, capturing beautifully ripe fruit in this 2017. It grows at a vineyard at the base of Spring Mountain, where the vines in benchland soils ripened their grape skins to a deep black cherry–scented richness. The tannins are breathable, ghosting past the fruit in a whisper of flavor that lasts, the memory of a summer cherry and the burst of its juice. Good wine if you drink it now; great wine if you age it. —J.G. (1,500 cases)

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Published March 19, 2021 - Rated 94:

This is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bartolucci vineyard on Dean York Lane in St. Helena. Deep purple-black colored, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci Vineyard offers vibrant cassis, blackberries and mulberries scents with hints of olives, bay leaves and tilled soil. The palate is full-bodied, firm and fine-grained with background freshness and plenty of energy in the finish. Nice! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
