The new releases begin with the 2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, a multiple AVA blend of which there are 6000+ cases. Medium ruby red in color, it exhibits aromas of damp earth, cinnamon, clove, brown sugar, cherry, and raspberry. In the glass it reveals a smooth texture, savory flavors, moderate depth and concentration, and good balance. Drink this tasty effort over the next 5-6 years. Rex Hill is striving to regain the glory days when Lynn Penner-Ash was making the wines. Production has been cut dramatically and everything that Rex Hill directly farms is biodynamic.www.rexhill.com
