Recommended to me by Eric Baugher (VP and winemaker at Ridge Vineyards) Hendry's Block 28 Zinfandel is a little known gem from Napa. Located between Carneros and Mt. Veeder AVAs, Block 28 receives hot Napa sunshine and cool Carneros fog. The wine is a deep purple with good opacity. A restrained nose of mostly dark fruits and stones. Medium body with fresh acidity, purple fruits and new oak, good loam on the finish. This has the makings of a great 2004 Zinfandel without being pushy, over extracted or too sweet or volatile.
