Pellet Estate Description

Winemaker Notes

Pellet Estate Henry's Reserve is unique every year. The winery lets each season, each barrel, each varietal guide us in crafting this rare blend. It’s the standout barrels and varietals that rise above all expectations each year, from which they 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. It never will be, nor is meant to be, the same.

Blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot

Professional Ratings

93Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2018 Red Blend Henry's Reserve offers a spicy, complex style with plenty of plum and jammy blackberry fruits as well as cedary herb and flowery incense notes. It's medium to full-bodied, nicely textured and balanced.
92James Suckling
Notes of dark fruit, herbs and wood. A savory, balanced, medium-to full-bodied red. Firm tannins bring structure and the elegant finale has length. Lightly austere now. Drink or hold.
91Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2018 Henry's Reserve Pellet Vineyard features enough cedar, herbal and menthol notes to give the bright cherry fruit a slightly medicinal tinge. It's medium to full-bodied, tart and tight, with a silky finish that reprises the opening cedar notes.Rating:91+
