Rex Hill 2010 Jacob-Hart Vineyard Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Jacob-Hart Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Rex Hill / Willamette Valley

A stunning return to the quality that was seen in 2008, this superb effort bursts onto the palate with brambly berries, sweet herbs, coffee grounds and somewhat stiff, but polished, tannins. It’s complex, with a touch of earthiness and generous length. The label reads Willamette Valley, though the vineyard is in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
