The result is a wine jammed with blackberry cream, ripe blueberry, caramel, cigar box, forest, anise, black peppercorn, nutmeg, and minerals.
91 Point Review - Wine Enthusiast Hendry Vineyard Zinfandels are among Napa’s best. With this release, Rock Wall brings their high alcohol, lusty touch to the wine. It’s a huge Zin, dry and tannic, with ripe blackberry, dark chocolate and crushed black peppercorn flavors. Drink it now and through 2021.
Vineyard Notes The Hendry family has been farming the same vineyard in Napa since 1939. The lessons learned from more than 70 harvests provide them with a level of knowledge and a connection to the land that is rare in Napa. The Hendry Ranch is composed of 114 acres of vineyard situated in the hills north west of Napa, just off Redwood Road. This latitude in the valley experiences substantial marine influence, and allows them to grow 10 different varietals, each carefully distributed among Rock Wall’s 47 vineyard blocks. Our Zinfandel comes from Block 29.
