Mission Codename Oh, Hendry!
Hendry Vineyard is back, with their 2006 Red Wine, a wine that became our most popular Napa Valley Bordeaux blend. No wonder, as this wine is just superb. Hendry gave us another lucky shot at today’s wine, so if you’re already a fan, you know to stock up. If you’re new to it, hurry!
Give the wine time to breathe, after opening, and you’ll have a softer and more elegant experience. On opening, edges are a bit hard, but the wine really opens up and softens as it breathes. We had fun, spinning the wine in our glasses and sipping every few minutes. The more we spun, the more we loved this wine.
Pair this very highly recommended wine with bolder dishes. Drink now, or cellar for up to ten more years!
