Description
When George Hendry's family came to the Napa Valley in 1939, he was just a little boy, and Napa was a country town in a farming community. As a boy, one of his many chores was the care of a small vineyard on the property, which included selling the grapes it produced. He vowed then that he would one day plant the whole property to grapes. In the early 1970s, he did just that.
George Hendry has been a grape grower for more than 30 years, and has been making wine from his own grapes for nearly 20. The key, according to George, is growing the grapes right in the first place and then taking good care of them along the way. An experienced winegrower and meticulous winemaker, George aims for wines that reflect the terroir of the Hendry Ranch: wines with refinement, elegance and balance.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon blocks, whose vines range in age from 15 to 36 years, provide the building blocks of the Hendry Premiere Napa Valley Barrel Selection.
