Block 15, Clone 7. The aroma went from an oak influence (nutmeg, thyme) to a more pleasant, fruity aroma (blueberry pretty strong, some mint chocolate chip) as it opened. Fairly tannic wine, very fruity with a shorter finish than I would like. Front palate acid, mid palate beautiful, back palate tannins. Hendry is one of my favorite producers in Napa. This was a pleasant wine with great flavors, but probably needs a little more time to get in balance.
