Our Hendricks label is the hallmark for an extraordinary vintage. This wine must exhibit all the elements of the reserve standard ... Color, intensity of aroma, a mouth filling quality, synergy of balance.

 

Characteristics of a reserve can begin in the vineyard, or they may unexpectedly appear during the progression of barrel ageing ... This is truly the beauty of wine, constantly evolving and developing ... delicious anticipation. 

 

The surname of our winemaker Charles Hendricks was the inspiration behind this regal label, with our winemakers' commitment to only release a wine under the Hendricks name when embodying all the characteristics of the extraordinary.

 

Hendricks Cabernet expresses the characteristics of an exceptional, long term aging wine. Deep saturated color, dense ripe fruit on a richly textured body almost making this wine impervious to age, yet its silky tannins and glycerol body make it enjoyable now.
