Hendry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Hendry Vineyard

Deep ruby color. Berry, cassis, violet, green herbs and pencil shavings round out the initial aromatic profile. Medium-full-bodied, with moderate acidity and firm tannins. The aromatics and flavors continue to expand their complexity with air, to include brown butter, cassis and vanilla, sour cherry and blueberry, finishing with dark-chocolate tannins. Though this wine is approachable, and opens up readily with air exposure, we definitely recommend pairing it with food to enhance the weight and complexity of the palate. A sliver of cheese will do the trick. Also try with a grilled rib-eye, lamb shanks, braised short ribs, cheese and charcuterie. Truffles or mushrooms incorporated in a sauce, risotto or mashed potatoes would also be a fitting complement.
