Hendry Zinfandel Block 7 & 22 [2019] 750ml Red

A historic farm established by an agricultural teacher

Hendry's Farm began in 1939 when George White Hendry, who taught agriculture at UC Berkeley and Davis, opened the current Hendry Ranch with his wife. George researched the breeding and growing methods of agricultural crops, grew various plants and fruits in his fields, and planted some of them with wine grapes. The Hendry Ranch has been harvested for more than 75 years, and today all fields are still managed and cultivated by the Hendry family.

Dealing with Robert Mondavi

From the late 1960s to the early 70s, grape trading prices skyrocketed. With the arrival of Robert Mondavi and others, the emphasis changed from placing emphasis on yield to the quality of the grapes as before. Noticing this change, the current owner, George O. Hendry, installed a water storage tank for irrigation and replaced all crops in the field with grapes. Furthermore, he organized 50 plots of fields with different topography and soil, and managed cultivation according to the year of planting, variety, and rootstock.

Hearing the reputation of Hendry's grapes, Robert Mondavi signed a long-term contract with Hendry, and Hendry's Cabernet grapes were now supplied to Mondavi's Cabernet Reserve and Opus One. Hendry's grapes continued to be supplied to Mondavi until 2001, when grapes fetched higher prices in Napa Valley. Others, such as Kent Rosenblum, known for their “3R” Zinfandel, have released Zinfandels named after Hendry fields.

Released wine under our own label in 1992

Long a grape farmer, Hendry brought his grapes to Napa Wine Company in 1992 and began producing his own wine. In the 1980s, he entrusted the brewing to Robert Mondavi's brewing consultant, Bob Muller (currently head of Mackenzie Muller), and released 2,000 dozen wines. After that, we developed the land adjacent to the fields and completed the winery in 2001, achieving integrated production in-house from cultivation to brewing. Currently, George's nephew, Mike Hendry, is the brewmaster.

Unique location

Hendry's fields are located on a gentle hill just west of Napa and slightly north. The hill where the fields are located is located between the Carneros and Mount Veeder areas, and while the cool breeze from San Pablo Bay blows through, Mount Veeder, which towers to the west, blocks the rain and cold winds blowing in from the Pacific Ocean, creating a warm climate. There is a terrace where you can keep the atmosphere. This cool breeze and warm climate allow Hendry's grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in ideal physiological ripening, giving wines the right amount of ripeness and rich acidity.

Sweet cherry and berry fruit flavors are capped by chocolate and cocoa flavors, framed by hints of orange, cedar, and spice. Smooth tannins and a dignified flavor. Hendry's flagship wine, along with Cabernet, is made from grapes from two plots planted in 1975 and 1995.
