Hendry is renowned for structured wines that show true varietal character, and this wine is no exception. Bright cherry fruit, tobacco, white pepper and leafy herbs aromas lead to similar flavors that are carried over firm tannins and lively acidity that suggest some bottle aging will be of benefit. Give it a good decant and serve with a top grade cut of beef.
