A legacy winery in Oregon's Willamette Valley that has been making elegant Pinot Noir for over 35 years. In 2007, the Rex Hill team joined forces with the folks behind A to Z, another tour de force in the Oregon wine scene, which has enabled this winery to focus on creating boutique wines with a commitment to superior quality. The wines made at Rex Hill are not made out of necessity, but rather a pure love of the craft. 

An overtly complex and layered wine. Pretty, floral notes of lavender and violet join spicy aromas of black pepper, cedar, tobacco and Bergamot tea. Earthiness on the nose, and the accompanying fruit is on the darker spectrum: black cherry, currant, cassis and wild blueberry. On the palate, chewy tannins with a peppery spice element showing through. The finish is long, with lingering tannin and a juicy plum note.

A refined Pinot such as this will compliment classic food pairings such as poached salmon and mushroom risotto, but will also lend favour to a veggie stir fry flavoured with hoisin and Chinese five spice.
