this bottle showed a little better than the last one. a little more balance between fruit and mineral content. yet, the wine sings mostly in the high registers with insufficient platform to support the robust soprano figure. will hold the last one for a year as a learning experience to see how it develops.

an acceptable wine but a little too heavy on the minerals thus masking the fruit. i will confine my purchases of hendry to their outstanding zinfandel.

Very light gold. Nose gives up large dose of white floral, sour lemon, and alcohol. Large mineral presence on the palate with fat body, tart fruit, alcohol/heat (really, a good whiskey-type burn) and a touch of malo-infused butter. Light and petite finish. Probably has more nuances that are beyond my palate but I just think it's too hot. Tasted across a range of temp's and it was always burning. (5+10+12+7) = 84
