2017 Hendry Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, California

Opaque, deep ruby color. Initial aromas of deep, dark berry and soft, subtly spicy oak. Full-bodied, balanced and readily drinkable, with moderate acids and substantial but easily-tamed tannins. Very approachable upon release. Pair with crisped parmesan, or other intensely flavored, cheesy items, rib-eyes, a deluxe cheeseburger, rack of lamb, or a savory, rib-sticking, polenta and short ribs.
