Our HENDRICKS WINES are the hallmark for an extraordinary vintage. This wine must exhibit all the elements of the reserve standard exhibiting color, intensity of aroma, voluptuous mouthfeel, and a synergy of balance. These characteristics of a reserve wine can begin in the vineyard, or unexpectedly appear during the progression of barrel ageing ... the epitome and beauty of wine, constantly evolving and developing.
Winemaker Notes: Enveloping aromas of raspberries, black currants and cinnamon. Velvety raspberry and Bing cherry fruit flavors glides across the palate, framed with fine-grained tannins. Nuanced and evolving, with layers of spice and smooth oak culminate in a balanced finish.
