This Rex Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a perfect Oregon color: beautiful, dark and brilliant burgundy red from the center of the rim. When first produced, intense aromatics of wet stone, black cherries, ripe raspberries, cassis, tobacco and forest floor notes jump from the glass. After some time, the wine opens and deepens revealing notes of iris, cinnamon, spice and huckleberries. In the mouth, the attack opens with red fruit flavors and minerals which transform into darker fruit flavors as the wine moves along the palate. Firm ripe tannins and a rich texture characterize the long finish with lingering flavors of red fruits and wet stones.
