Tasting Notes

The 2024 Honouren Cabernet Sauvignon opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and violet, layered with subtle hints of cedar and warm spice. On the palate, this wine is opulent yet poised—showcasing lush flavors of blackberry, currant, and cocoa nib framed by fine-grained tannins. Notes of espresso and graphite emerge toward the finish, adding depth and complexity. Structured and beautifully balanced, it promises elegance in its youth and longevity in the cellar.

Vineyard Notes

2024 was a picture-perfect growing season with exceptional fruit set, balanced vines, and ideal ripening. While days were a bit hotter than usual during the summer months, nights cooled significantly, slowing vines to replenish and balance out ripening. Careful canopy management was key to ensuring we got dappled sunlight on the fruit without too much sun exposure on the hot days. The warmer weather helped us achieve maximum ripeness and concentration with deep color and flavors for our red wines while our white wines have our signature bright acidity mixed with loads of tropical aromas and flavors.

Winemaker Notes

The 2024 Honouren captures everything we loved about this standout vintage. It’s overflowing with big aromatics, floral notes, and deep, dark fruit that jump right out of the glass along with a savoriness typically seen in reserve-tier wines. It was one of our favorite wines bottled this year. Crafted from our late founder Bob MacDonnell’s favorite block near Conn Creek, this wine showcases the remarkable terroir of its gravelly, well-drained soils — a distinctive corner of our vineyard that continues to deliver exceptional fruit.
