Very rich array of deeply toasty spices and reductive, meaty nuances, as well as ripe, rich dark plums and cherries. The palate has a plush, smooth and sleek array of vibrant red fruit, velvety tannins and drink-now appeal. Opens with heady, ripe fruit notes of black cherry, raspberry, black plum, red currant, and blackberry. Floral aromas arise of lavender and violet along with tomato leaf, rhubarb, and peppercorn with a hint of French Oak. The palate has impressive structure, balance, and acidity, with integrated oak notes and red and black fruit flavors.

Food Pairings – olive oil poached salmon, mushroom risotto, mild cheeses, grilled ahi, pumpkin ravioli, pork tenderloin, proscuitto, pizza with sausage and mushrooms.

About Rex Hill

REX HILL, a legacy winery in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, has been making elegant Pinot Noir for over 35 years. In 2007, the founders sold REX HILL to the two families behind A to Z Wineworks. Case production was quickly reduced by almost 80% to refine REX HILL wines to be of the utmost quality and distinction.

A to Z provided the resources to refocus REX HILL as a luxury boutique brand offering special wines made with only the most careful attention to detail.  The commitment to superior quality means year-round responsiveness to site, vintage and climate, farming with organic and Biodynamic principles, and careful hand-selection of only the best clusters at harvest.
