Spice-driven with restrained fruit, the Rex Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is an overtly complex and layered wine. Pretty, floral notes of lavender and violet join spicy aromas of black pepper, cedar, tobacco and Bergamot tea. There is a taut, lean Old World-style quality to the earthiness on the nose, and the accompanying fruit is on the darker spectrum: black cherry, currant, cassis and wild blueberry. On the palate, the chewy tannins point to the whole-cluster inclusion during fermentation, with a peppery spice element showing through. The palate is again spice-driven and complex with fresh acidity and austerity that promises bottle aging potential. The long finish lingers with hints of juicy plum.

What a representation of Willamette Valley! Aromas of dark plum and barrel spice with whiffs of clove lead to rounded flavors. It's a textural delight with spot-on balance. Try at a cool 62 to 64 degrees for maximum enjoyment.

This shows cola, blackberries, elderberries, bark and walnuts. The palate has some good concentration with chewy tannins and a fruit-forward finish. Drink in 2020
