2009 Rex Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 750ml

Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2011 #38! The 2009 REX HILL Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a classic example of Oregon Pinot Noir from a vintage that gave us intense fruit and intense flavors. Initial perfumed aromatics redolent of violets and roses, black currants, blueberries, black raspberries and wild strawberries are joined by suggestions of tobacco leaf, clean earth, dried fruit, smoke and spice as the wine opens. Some whole-cluster fermentation contributes dark fruit, tea and savory aromatic characteristics. The attack is rich with beautifully ripe tannins and flavors of red fruits and the blue fruits which are a hallmark of the vintage. The lithe mid-palate finds additional complexity with a strong, lingering finish that includes minerality, graphite and spices. This wine has the intensity, structure and concentration to age and become more complex over the next 15 to 20 years. GREAT VALUE!!!

REX HILL’s winemaking philosophy is simple: with great integrity and honesty they craft the finest wines that can truly represent their origins and varietal character. In order to accomplish this philosophy and goal, Rex Hill farms there own vineyards biodynam-ically and carefully select growers to work with who share our intentions in the vineyard.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 93

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Focused, satiny and elegant, with a powerful thrust behind the pure currant and boysenberry flavors, shaded with touches of talcum and cream as the finish expands. Drink now through 2019.
