En Garde 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak) Hendrickson Family Vineyards
Scores 95 Points
"Super-ripe, big, thick, aromatic and juicy, a major league Cabernet that shows its Atlas Peak origins with flamboyant mountain concentration. The immediate mouthfeel is of gigantic fruit. Black currants, cassis, cherry kirsch, dark bitter chocolate and teriyaki beef spiciness, accented with lots of smoky new oak, provide for lushness of the style we've come to expect from En Garde. For all the sumptuous fruitiness, there's a great burst of acidity that keeps things bright. This is a "Wow!" wine for drinking now and over the next decade." ~ Steve Heimoff, former West Coast Editor, Wine Enthusiast magazine

Linda Trotta writes of Marilyn Hendrickson in Napa Valley Life, Winter issue 2019
“Marilyn is very connected to her land, and she’s proud of that land and her family’s heritage,” said Trotta. “Her passion spoke to me. And the wine made from her grapes is delicious. Whenever I bring distributor reps and sales people to the winery I always end their visit with a tasting of Marilyn’s Atlas Peak Cab. It literally raises eyebrows; it’s memorable.”
