I went to Hendry winery with my wine-tasting buddy back in 2009. At that time, they poured a couple of 2006
Zinfandels and a 2005 Cabernet. All
three were available in half-bottles and delicious. By the end of our tasting, we were 20 minutes
late for our next tasting and we dashed off quickly with a mixed case of
half-bottles of these three wines. When
I opened the first bottle at home, I noticed that I had been given 2007’s of this
wine instead of the 2006’s I had tasted.
The wine was a little too tannic, so I let the rest lay down for a few
years. Tonight, my patience was
rewarded. The tannins are still
subsiding, but the wine is nicely balanced, with good red fruits and minerals.
