Product Details

BLOCKS Hendry Merlot is planted in blocks 13A (Clone 3), and 13B, (Clone 14). Both blocks are directly behind the winery, in dry, rocky soils. Block 13B is our oldest Merlot block, planted in 1995. 

 Deep, concentrated ruby. On the nose, initially dark, low-range aromas are followed by brighter cola, raisin and vanilla. Smooth entry, medium-body, broad on the palate. Balanced, flavorful, complex. The moderate tannins begin to build up by the second sip. A moderately structured wine that will be a versatile pairing partner with lamb, burgers, meatloaf, grilled flank or skirt steak, or a filet mignon. Red wine lovers may also find it lovely to drink all by itself or with hard cheeses. 200 cases produced.  Winemaker notes
