The Hendry family has been farming their vineyards for decades, and the quality/price ratio has always been one of their most important factors of producing great wines along the way.
The latest two releases are yet another good example.

James Suckling 95 Points: “Aromas of blue plums, fruit cake and violets followed by box tree and crushed gravel with vanilla and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, soft acidity and finely grained tannins. Beautifully structured yet refined and harmonious.”
WE 95 Points: “A good-old Napa Cab character comes through in this blackberry and black-olive scented wine that shows great balance despite elevated alcohol. A full body, medium tannins, and lots of dark fruit with little noticeable oak keep it focused and delicious. “
WS 94 Points: “Ripe and focused, with good intensity to the boysenberry and blackberry coulis notes, which are carried by a graphite edge. Reveals violet accents through the lightly toasted finish, adding nice lift, with a curl of alder smoke at the end for more nuance. Drink now through 2037. 219 cases made.”
Winemaker Notes: “Opaque, deep ruby color. Immediate berry fruit on the nose backed with spice, dried herbs, and leather. Full-bodied, with pleasing deep berry roundness and depth in the mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins with a bittersweet chocolate edge and dark, stewed fruit on the finish. New aromas of violets, licorice and more continue to emerge with air, making this a good candidate for further bottle development. Like its immediate predecessors, this wine seems very approachable upon release. Try with slow-roasted lamb shanks, braised short ribs, Wagyu sliders (fancy!), salumi and charcuterie, risotto made with an intensely flavored cheese like Pecorino. Even a simple burger with blue cheese will be elevated in the company of this appealing wine.”
Hendry 2021 Chardonnay “Barrel Fermented” Estate, Napa Valley
GGWC 37.99
FREE SHIPPING on 12
Use code HENDRY during checkout (OK to mix & match with other Hendry)
WE 96 Points: “Creamy but complex, this elegant wine made from mature vines glides across the palate, sharing subtle oak smoke, toasted almond, butter and Bosc pear flavors in fascinating layers. Silky in texture, nicely dry, and long on the finish, the wine is something for a special occasion with a great meal."
Winemaker Notes: “Pale to medium yellow. Aromas of tangy baked apple, floral and toasty, spicy Cadus oak. Balanced, with pink apple, plenty of structure, and lingering acid on the long finish. Warm, full-bodied. George’s favorite pairing options include Manchego, grilled or roasted salmon, garlicky white pizzas, and coq au vin blanc, slow-braised chicken made with white wine. Their Chardonnays can be very long-lived, becoming more elegant with each passing year.”
