Hendry HRW Pinot Noir Napa Valley '23

From the cool Block 11 vineyard near San Pablo Bay, this Pinot Noir shimmers with a translucent ruby hue. The nose enchants with delicate aromas of wild strawberry, rosewater, and damp earth. The palate floats with weightless intensity - flavors of cranberry, blood orange, and white pepper glide across silken tannins that earned 92-94 point accolades. Aged 10 months in French oak (30% new) at just 13.8% alcohol, it finishes with haunting floral notes. Serve slightly chilled with duck breast or mushroom dishes - the 2023 vintage shows exceptional finesse.
