- My Review: This Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscat blend wine was the first wine provided in the tasting that I attended at the Honig winery in Napa. The host of my tasting stated that this wine was matured for 6 months in French oak, followed by 6 months in American oak. I detected a very fruity flavor on this wine, with some vanilla, lemon and peach aromas that stood out. On the palate, this wine provided a very fruity, citrus-y taste. Some buttery flavor was detectable as well, lending itself to the year of oaking that this wine underwent, though it was not overwhelming. The finish of this wine was very crisp and dry, which I liked quite a bit. Overall, this was a very well balanced wine that I enjoyed.
