Buying Guide Best of the Year, Dec. 31, 2011
91 points- Cellar Selection
Hendry 2007 Napa Valley Hendry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is very strong in blackberries, black currants and cedar. It’s also quite tannic. Clearly a rich, well-grown wine, but marked by immaturity , with unintegrated sweet fruit and oak flavors. Needs a good six years to start to knit together.
Highly Recommended California Cabernets
Hendry Napa Valley 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Dusty, fragrant, lifted aromas of cream, cassis, wood spice and cherry. Quite stylish and finely tuned with good underlying acidity and a sleek, fine texture. Lovely balance and wonderful varietal expression.
