Hendry Red Wine 2018

Opaque purple-ruby. Cabernet is prominent in the pleasant aromatics, as expected, leaning toward dark fruit, with the spice, smoke and cedar of the oak underpinnings just detectable behind round, dried-blueberry-like purple fruit. On the palate, tannins are soft at first, gradually building. 

Pair with cheeses and meats, moderately rich braised dishes, such as pot roast, braised short-ribs or a hearty beef and mushroom stew. Retains its flavor and structure with rich, meaty foods, and shows its softer, fruitier side with full-flavored cheeses. It will pair with almost anything you like with red wine. A strong candidate for the cellar, the structure of this wine should allow it to age with grace and become even more lovely and nuanced over time.

Blend: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 13% Malbec, 13% Merlot
