Hendry Estate is a true hidden gem and one of my favorite places in all of Napa Valley. The wines are great, the views are beautiful, the surroundings calm and serene. But perhaps more importantly than any of those things, spending an hour or two at Hendry is like stepping back into a bygone era of Napa Valley. An era when multigenerational farming families worked the land together. An era when specific blocks of land were planted to varieties that made the most sense for quality and expression of place rather than an economic calculation of what variety would yield the highest return on investment.
