Make a winning bid on a magnum bottle of 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon from Hendry Ranch Winery located in Napa, CA.   From a limited production, this is the perfect addition to any oenophile’s wine cellar!

This 2005 vintage “wine with excellent potential” rated by the Alchemist has notes of dark cherry and blackberry fruit with a hint of cocoa. Hendry’s Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with roasted meats, game birds, juicy prime rib and delightfully well with chocolate and hazelnut. This is a sophisticated wine with well-integrated tannins, a wine maker’s restraint allowing the true notes to shine and is friendly on the palate.

Each year, George Hendry strives for a Cabernet with elegance and balance, and one which reflects the character of the vineyard and the vintage.  This is the last of their 2005 wines to release, and it follows the tendency of the wines from this vintage to have a lush, deep, forward palate and dense aromatics.  This young wine shows violets, licorice, chocolate, cigar box and cassis on the nose, with a full, velvety texture, dusty fine-grained tannins and a firm finish. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Drinkable now, with potential to cellar for 10+ years.
