V93VinousThe 2017 Red Blend Henry\’s Reserve offers lovely mid-palate juiciness and sweetness as well as plenty of allure. Sweet raspberry, red plum, mocha, spice, mint and rose petal are all nicely layered in this supple, engaging wine from Pellet. The Red Blend is ripe and jammy, but also understated, with plush fruit, soft contours and tons of appeal.JD93Jeb DunnuckA step up in price, the 2017 Red Blend Henry\’s Reserve is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that gives up a deep purple color as well as juicy blueberry and cassis fruits interwoven with lots of spice box, flowery incense, and lead pencil nuances. Medium to full-bodied, lively, focused, and elegant on the palate, it\’s another classic 2017 that will keep for 15 years or more. Both reds from this estate showed beautifully.
