Henry of Pelham Estate Winery Speck Family Reserve Pinot Noir 2007
Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
 | Estate fruit, grown in the Short Hills Bench
Harvest Date: September 24th-October 3rd, 2007
Yields of 1 ½ Tonnes / acre and below (-25 hL/ha)
Fermented in stainless steel then aged in French Oak, with 33% new.
The biggest quality factor involved in making Pinot Noir is yield in the vineyard. No short cuts to quality exist. It is not that Pinot Noir must be big, but rather that good, ageworthy and interesting Pinot Noir comes at great cost in the vineyard. Oak tank fermented. |
