Our Reserve wine is unique every year. We let each season, each barrel, each varietal guide us in crafting this rare blend. Our approach differentiates from what most people expect from a Reserve wine – rather than the best lots of a single varietal or extra care for designated barrels – ours is driven by what nature and vinification techniques result from each year. We exist to make great wine, therefore all of our lots are made with the utmost quality at our disposal – we treat every drop the same. It’s the standout barrels and varietals that rise above all expectations each year, from which we select pay close attention to, when blending the reserve program, only yielding about a single barrel or two. This is Henry’s Reserve – the constant pursuit of the most authentic expression, each year, from what fruit this historic vineyard provides us. It never will be, nor is meant to be, the same.
95 – “Pellet's 2017 Henry's Reserve is a total knock-out. Dark, rich and explosive, with tremendous depth, the 2016 is a wine of real depth and character. It needs a few years to fully come together, but there is a lot to look forward to. Black cherry, mocha, espresso and licorice flesh out as this dark mysterious Cabernet gradually shows off its considerable charms.” – Anthony Galloni, Vinous Media
95 - "The 2017 Red Blend Henry's Reserve is a deep, richer wine and offers a saturated purple color as well as beautiful notes of crème de cassis, crushed violets, graphite, and spicy oak. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, seamless, and elegant on the palate, with the purity of this great vintage front and center. It's a beautiful bottle of wine that will benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for two decades.– Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
