Today’s Thomas Henry 2012 Pinot Noir is a happy, approachable and very friendly wine that will delight you and your guests. Winemaker Tom Meadowcroft (Foyt Family Wines, Meadowcroft Winery) has certainly impressed us.

One member of our tasting panel said of the approachability, “This is a fun and not-so-serious Pinot Noir. It is a wonderful wine for newer Pinot Noir drinkers, looking to learn more about the varietal - without the dirty complexity of some high dollar Pinots.” We agreed, but we think that this is a great Pinot for everyone.

Long lingering red fruit presents at the front and mid-palate with classic cherry cola flavors and a very subtle earthiness. This is a lovely aperitif or appetizer course wine that would also be wonderful with fish or fowl dishes.

This wine is drinking beautifully now - and we feel that it will only continue to improve over the next few years.
