I was really happy to see some good scores (92-96) and (IMO) overdue acknowledgment for the classically styled and reasonably priced Hendry wines. For the many years I was a retailer, I sold the Barrel-Fermented Chardonnay, Block 7 Zin and later on, the Mike & Molly Zin from the RW Moore Vineyard. The zins in particular age really really well - I’ve had several with 10-15 years on them and they evolve in the claret direction which I think really justifies keeping. The cab is also a really nice stalwart Napa style.
I didn’t see any existing thread so I thought I’d start one. Anyone else like Hendry?
My brother is a regular buyer so I have had my fair share. I like the wines especially the Albariño and buy them myself, if less often. I always have a few in the cellar. Agree the pricing is reasonable and I don’t recall anything that I felt was a disappointment. Along those wines, I also don’t recall any that really thrilled either.
One of the absolute best producers in all of Napa. Also the absolute best people. The have such a great story and their grapes are in a lot of esteemed Napa Cabs and blends.
As it happens, Angela Douglass from Hendry is on the east coast this weekend hosting some events in Annapolis/Baltimore.
The day Maryland allowed direct to consumer wine shipping, I joined Hendry and have been a member ever since. Love their Albarino. Their Zins are fantastic, the block 28 is considered a “big borther” to their widely acclaimed block 7&22 zin. I absolutley love their cabernet, especially for the price and George started his first “reserved” program in 2018 and they’re undeniable. If you have not had the opportunity - give Hendry’s wines a try.
