Make a winning bid on a magnum bottle of 2012 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! Wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for 5-10 years. 

In 2012, the median bud break in these blocks was April 14-15. Median bloom was May 29-30 and median veraison was August 5-7. Harvest ranged from October 5 for the younger blocks to the 12th for the more mature vines. Yields averaged 2.1-3.5 tons per acre throughout the Cabernet blocks. After a warm extended maceration, the wine was aged for 21 months in 90% new French oak barrels. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dense, dark berry color. In the initial aromas, pretty blackcurrant and caramel form the base notes, with soft cedar and black licorice. Very firm tannins portend a long life for this ripe, concentrated, dark wine. Decanting recommended to bring out the deeper, sweet fruit flavors and release the firm tannin grip; the wine becomes full and velvety with time and air. We love wines like this with short ribs braised in wine, filet mignon (especially with blue cheese), and rich, creamy polenta made with Gorgonzola or Fontina".
