Henry Estate Winery 2000 Barrell Select Pinot Noir

Barrel Select 2000 Pinot Noir This Pinot Noir is a result of choosing the best barrels of each vintage. This is the mid-price Pinot from Henry Estate Winery; the Winemaker's Reserve being the best is priced accordingly. This has complexity and body, along with the signature Umpqua fruit and backbone which I have come to expect from this winery. When visiting Henry Estate, check out the barrel, just as you enter the tasting room. You might find a treasure or two from past vintages of Pinot Noir and Chardonnays, and a few other great wines from this winery. Listen to the Henry Estate 2000 Barrel Pinot Noir Henry Estate Winery is located in Umpqua, Oregon. Take exit 136 off route 5, then just a short drive to the huge place called Umpqua. Since the 1880's five generations of Henrys have lived in this beautiful valley. The area is quite diverse and the winery grows many different grapes. In 1972, Calvin Scott Henry III founded this great winery. Check out their website; www.henryestatewinery.com, where you can learn about the valley, and the many harvests enjoyed by this world class winery.
