Rex Hill 2006 Sims Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Sims Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Rex Hill / Willamette Valley

A full, fleshy, lushly fruited Pinot Noir, streaked with espresso and caramel from barrel aging. The fruit and overall structure are up to the challenge of the wood; lots of black cherry and even hints of cassis running through the core. A finish with some noticeable heat supports the 15.4% alcohol reading, but it’s a tasty bottle of wine.
