Henry Estate Winery Merlot2002

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. Merlot 2002 Rare is it, in this world, that a winery is very successful at Bordeaux and Burgundian varitals, all in the same location. The many micro-climates allow this winery to make world class Pinots as well as Cabernets Sauvignon, Merlots, and Cabernet Francs. This wine is a favorite and lends itself to many different dishes, and I like the sound of that! Listen to the Henry Estate 2002 Merlot Feature Link to www.henryestate.com
