About Hensel West
Hensel West is a small-lot Napa Valley wine project crafting Cabernet Sauvignon and red blends from carefully selected vineyard sources across the valley. The label operates with a quality-over-quantity mindset, producing limited quantities of wines that showcase the depth and complexity of Napa Valley's finest growing sites. Each vintage represents the winemaker's best interpretation of the available fruit.
Winemaking follows classical Napa Valley protocols — hand harvesting, gentle destemming, small-lot fermentation, and aging in French oak. The approach is straightforward and focused: let the fruit speak, support it with appropriate oak aging, and release the wines when they show their best character. The resulting wines are polished, concentrated, and rewarding.
Hensel West pours at their First Street tasting room in downtown Napa. The experience is welcoming and unpretentious, with flights that highlight the current releases and the vineyard sources behind them.
